Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or a full on meat eater, this simple concoction appeals to everyone!  So here is the scoop on this ever so popular "detox" water:  By adding certain fruits, veggies and herbs, you are giving your body boosts of nutrients, enhancing your digestive system and flushing those nasty toxins.

We all know that drinking water is great for our bodies,  but here are the health benefits of infusing it:









Cucumber/Mint :Cucumbers are a great source of vitamins C and K, are a diuretic and a great source a fiber.  Mint leaves are a nice refreshing flavor to add to your drink. On top of that, it can help you digest more effectively, improving the flow of bile from the liver, to the gallbladder, to the small intestine, where it breaks down dietary fats. Mint also helps relax cramped up stomach muscles.

Strawberry/Basil:  Strawberries contain dietary fiber to help with digestion, lowers blood pressure, helps with overeating and serves as an anti-inflammatory.  Basil relieves stress and clears skin.  Plus, this just looks sexy and beautiful.

Lemon/Ginger:  Lemon and ginger juice helps stimulate and regulate the digestive track (which is why it’s so helpful with constipation, heartburn and gas), stimulates bile production, and thins out bile, which allows it to flow more freely.

Not only are these infused waters healthy for you, but are a perfect and refreshing non-alcoholic beverage for those hot summer days!
