Blueberry Orange Water

Blueberry Orange Water


This yummy water has the antioxidant properties of blueberries and the toxin flushing properties of citrus. Plus, it’s really easy to make and tastes wonderful. Just mix about six cups of water in a picture with ice cubes, a handful of fresh blueberries and 2 mandarin oranges peeled and cut into chunks. You’ll want this to sit in the fridge for at least two hours so that the water has time to infuse. You can muddle the blueberries just a bit if you want to have a stronger taste or squeeze the juice from an additional orange into your water.

Stress Relieving Detox Water

Stress Relieving Detox Water


Imagine clearing out those harmful toxins and relieving stress at the same time. This detox water recipe includes pineapple and basil. Pineapple has bromelain that cleanses the bloodstream and breaks down harmful enzymes so that they can be flushed from your body. Basil fights free radicals and is an excellent source of magnesium so it’s really good for your heart. Using spring or filtered water, mix together in a pitcher five strawberries, about ½ cup of chunked pineapple, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, four or five fresh basil leaves and some ice. Allow it to steep in the fridge for at least an hour and enjoy.

Notes
*If you don't like the idea of drinking vinegar, try using a little less and drinking it through a straw. You can always leave it out, but will miss out on some of the detoxifying benefits. Give it a try and see how it goes!

3 Day Juice Cleanse

 Three Day Juice Cleanse


See Also: 5 Drinks That Aid Weight Loss

Three Day Juice Cleanse


Today I wanted to share a three day detox cleanse Ben and I tried a few weeks ago from a local juicer in San Diego. 


Previously i've tried to jump on the 10 day "master cleanse" bandwagon, but I lasted only 4 hours (despite having purchased a billion lemons).  Instead, I prefer a juice cleanse where I get to eat a healthy dinner because I feel like I am still getting the nutrients I need to sustain my workouts and get me through the day (and don't feel like i'm starving to death).  I also love to end the night (even when I am not on the cleanse) with my favorite detox tea, Kusmi, which helps makes me feel satisfied.
I like to use a yummy juice cleanse to either help kickstart my diet, shock my body, or just to simply rid myself of built-up toxins and give my digestive system a little break.
As we study for the bar exam Ben and I have felt super stressed (as you can imagine) and we thought it was a good time to clear it all out (literally).  Ben of course lost more weight on the cleanse (don't you just envy guys sometimes?), but I lost about 3 pounds.  If you have never done a cleanse before or don't normally eat clean, then it will be a definite shock to your body and you're likely to lose more.
But of course, I must add that I am not a doctor, nutritionist, specialist, or any other kind of expert... just your friendly online pal sharing her own personal experience.  If you have any medical conditions, are pregnant, are very active, or have any other general concerns, you should always consult your healthcare professional before beginning this (or any dietary) program.
Ok that's it.  What do you guys think of this?  Will you try it?

 I hope you enjoy and good luck!

7 Day Detox Cleanse and lose weight

7 Day Detox Cleanse and lose weight


When you eat toxic food (aka most holiday foods), your body stores those toxins into fat cells to protect your organs.  Just remember, every time you eat toxic (processed) foods, it will most likely be stored in a fat cell leading to more fat!

7 Day Detox recipes

After the Cleanse:

Do NOT eat processed foods or drinks after the cleanse for at least 14-30 days.  Stick to eating all natural foods (fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc.).  While on the cleanse protocol, you began the cleansing and healing process.  You don’t want to undo the progress you’ve made!

 See Also:  Eat clean, will we lose weight ?

P.S.

This is NOT a diet or meal plan.  This is a detox.  I do not recommend following this detox protocol as a continual diet plan.  In fact, if you plan on doing this cleanse for any longer than 14 days, I suggest you do so under the supervision of a medical professional.  Additionally, please keep in mind that a detox is about detoxifying the body of harmful toxins that have accumulated inside the body over the course of many years and can lead to some diseases, weight gain, etc.  A detox is not about weight loss alone – however, weight loss is usually a “side effect” of doing a detox since so many toxins are stored in fat cells.  Please keep this in mind when doing this detox.  The goal here is to make you healthier, not just skinnier.  Happy Cleansing!

This detox water has ingredients that will clean out your kidneys, eliminate bloating and help you to enjoy much healthier skin. It also aids in digestion. You need about ½ gallon of purified water, ½ lemon sliced, ½ lime sliced, ½ grapefruit sliced (note that you can also substitute or add oranges if you want), 1 cup of sliced cucumber with peels, 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger and a handful of fresh peppermint leaves. Just add all of the ingredients into a pitcher and cover with ice. Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before serving and discard after 24 hours as the citrus fruits tend to get a little mushy.

Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water

One detox diet method that people find to work is the water detox diet only drinking water helping you lose weight the clean way.
Drinking water helps cleanse your body flushing out potential harmful toxins through your urinary tract.  

Here’s the recipe for the Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water:

recipe for the belly slimming detox water

(for one 24 oz serving)

– 3-5 slices of fresh cucumber
– 1/2 small lemon sliced
– 1/4 of orange sliced
– a few fresh mint leaves
– 24 oz of ice cold water


Why does this work? 

> Cucumbers prevent water retention and also have many anti-inflammatory properties.

> Lemon provides the cleansing effect of citric acid to help clear out the digestive syste 

> Oranges contain flavonoids in the peel and juice that stimulate the immune system and protects against a fungi/pests while helping to reduce cholesterol levels

> Mint helps the body digest more easily and it also soothes any stomach cramps you may have.

Keep in mind that the more you refill your jug, glass or bottle with the same fruits, the more diluted and less nutrient-dense the fruit becomes. So I would recommend that after 2 or 3 refills, dump it and replace with fresh cuts to make sure you get all the vitamins and minerals you need. I also wouldn’t leave the fruits in there for more than 24 hrs before changing it.
