The Lemon and Water Detox
Detoxing is a great way to cleanse the body internally and rinse off build up and toxins. Ridding the body of these toxins will leave you feeling healthier and refreshed and give the skin a glowing effect. Your body and your skin are interrelated and if one is happy, they are both happy and if one is feeling uder the weather, there are good chances that the other will too. So detoxing is a great way to keep your insides and out feeling refreshed.
There are many ways to detox. There are programs, pills, teas, diets and even the dreaded buttocks sucking. Well here is a simple, natural detox that can be used on a daily basis.
What you need:
* 24 ounce water bottle. Water is excellent for detoxing because it dilutes the toxins and flushes them out of our body.
* kettle and stove
* 2 organic lemons cut in half with seeds plucked out. Lemons are high in fiber and other antioxidants.
* 1/3 cup of pure clover honey. Besides tasting fabulous, honey has many health benefits, it is filled with antioxidants, and has antibacterial and antifungal qualities. Honey has been used for centuries in beauty treatments because it can leave the skin glowing.
* 2 tbsp Organic flaxseed oil (optional and can be purchased at natural foods stores). Flaxseed oil is high in fiber, about 6grams of fiber in 3tbs and it is also rich in omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty oil that will leave your skin soft and glowing.
1) To start, bring the water to boil and let it cool down to lukewarm temperature.
2) Pour the lukewarm water into the 24 ounce bottle
3) Take the lemons and squeeze into the water bottle
4) Add the honey
5) Put the lid on the bottle and shake vigorously until all contents are well mixed.
6) Now drink up and instantly feel cleansed and refreshed.
7) Follow by taking the flaxseed oil, it has a nutty flavor which isn't too bad. If you don't care for the taste too much, just add over cereal, salads or your favorite dish.
8) Follow this detox with a diet rich in natural fruits and vegetables. I also like to follow with green tea and honey.
Enjoy and Good Luck!
