Water is key to many basic physiological functions; water keeps your bloodstream fluid, moisturises your skin, and even helps eliminate waste.
Whilst we can utilise incredible herbs, supplements, strategies, fasting etc to detox (which are all fantastic depending on what results you are after) sometimes simple is effective as it's achievable for many.
So instead of searching for the most radical approach why not introduce some infused water into your life.
Infused water? Basically infusing your water with fruits, vegetables and herbs. Seems a little simply right?! Well yeah.. it is..
It might not create a radically detoxing of heavy metals or the like, but it certainly is a simple small step in the direction of detox.
WATER - the sacred element that makes us US! Consider your body is a vessel of water.
Many people just don't drink enough of this precious element. So infusing your water will add key beneficial nutrients and make you drink more.
INGREDIENTS TO INFUSE YOUR WATER
Try grapefruit, orange, lime & lemon. All delicious and all high in Vitamin C.
Or throw in some ginger, mint, oregano, basil, rosemary for a all host of medicinal benefits.
If you have a sensitive belly (IBS, leaky gut etc) try aloe vera, apple cidar vinegar, cinnamon or get colourful flavonoids with organic berries, watermelon, cucumber and apple (organic a must).
This is super simply folks. It doesn't require much effort, maybe a tad of creativity and intuition to feel into what your body needs.
