Start Your Day With Detox Water
To begin your tummy tox plan, fill a 48-ounce pitcher with water and add ginger, mint leaves, cucumber, and lemon. While on the surface this may seem like any other flavored beverage, these ingredients are key in restoring your health and wellness. Lemon helps clean out the digestive system, thanks to the enzyme-stimulating acids. Cucumbers prevent water retention and have anti-inflammatory properties. Mint promotes easy digestion and soothes stomach cramps. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and provides soothing relief for the digestive tract, which can relieve gassiness and bloat. Try to finish the pitcher by end of day, and feel free to drink it on its own or with your meals.
