Your physical body has this beautiful ability to detox itself naturally through your digestive system, liver, kidneys, and through your skin. A detox can assist your body’s ability to break down and eliminate toxins.

Your body can reap significant benefits from a detox if incorporated into your healthy living. A detox can jumpstart your body’s natural cleansing process to give your body and digestive system a chance to reset, heal, and function more optimally when absorbing the nutrients it needs from food. Other benefits include weight loss, elevated energy, and a recalibrated chakra system.

There are many ways to detox, including avoiding certain food groups such as caffeine, sugar, processed foods, etc. But we’re going to combine natural remedies of agua with hydrated and vitamin-filled fruits to create detox waters. I know there are many of us who need motivation in building the healthy habit of drinking enough water a day (recall: the 8×8 rule). Detox waters are a fun way to add a unique twist to what most think of as a “bland-beverage.”

My favorite morning cleansing ritual is starting my day with my first glass of an 8 oz detox water. It not only jumpstarts my digestive system, refreshes my cells, detoxifies my body, clears my skin, but also cleanses and balances my chakras.

Read on for my list of favorite detox water recipes. They only take three steps to make: add water, mix, and refrigerate, and need only three main ingredients: simple fruits, herbs, and of course, H2O.
