Benefits of a detox drink

Benefits of a detox drink for having a flat belly stomach.

Living in today’s world and staying fit is difficult. We have so many tasty dishes and amazing food that it’s almost impossible to control yourself at times. Sure, there is tasty and healthy food, but most of us can’t afford that (or couldn’t in the past). Some people, for example, have issues changing their lifestyle and getting out of their comfort zone. It doesn’t matter what might be preventing you from having a flat belly. What matters is that you start doing something about it so you can achieve the fitness level you’re looking for.

Now, you’re probably thinking that you should start going to the gym or doing any physical activity that could potentially turn your big belly into a flat belly (and you’d be correct), but this isn’t the only thing necessary. You will have to do something about your diet, and, you’ll need to get a detox. Detoxifying your body can easily give you an even better chance to get fit and lose weight, so stay tuned for the best benefits and options regarding having a flat belly!

Lemon Contains Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic acid is just a fancy way of saying Vitamin C. You probably already know why Vitamin C is so important for our bodies but if you don’t, here are the facts: Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, meaning it’s supposed to protect your cells against free radicals (which can cause damage to the cells).

So, drinking lemonade or making a smoothie with lemons can positively influence your body, so it better defends against free radicals (that get formed when your body converts food into energy).

Lose Weight with Ginger

Ahh, ginger. Some people love it, others loathe it, but the truth remains, and it says that ginger is incredible when it comes to weight loss. It’s also a great addition to detox drinks, mainly because it prevents you from feeling hungrier than you are (ginger causes the feeling of satiation).

This means that ginger is a natural appetite suppressant that can be used in a variety of ways. The advantage of ginger over other appetite suppressants? It’s natural, and there’s no rebound!

Powerful Herb Mint

You can find mint in just about anything, from shampoos to chewing gum. It has been around for centuries, and there’s a good reason why there’s a spot for it in everything regarding our lives. Mint primarily provides calming effects and acts as a soothing herb that calms down your stomach.

Also, mint can improve your cholesterol levels and bring them to normal amounts. All in all, you should use mint in your detox drink for its many benefits (and for the amazing, refreshing taste)!

Cucumber Nutrition to Detoxify and Clean

Cucumbers have become a staple in most detox drinks because of their amazing properties. You might also want to combine charcoal detox and cucumber detox by adding activated charcoal to your drink. So, why are cucumbers so great?

This is because they are considered antidiabetics (meaning that they lower the chance of you getting diabetes). They also lower your lipid levels and act as antioxidants. Oh, also, if you ever drank a cucumber juice, you’ll know how refreshing and cooling it is!

Grapefruit Water

Whatever citrus fruit you pick, you can be sure that you didn’t make a mistake. The same can be said about grapefruit; an amazing citrus fruit with a weird taste (that not many people like). Grapefruit is probably the best ingredient you can add to a detox drink, mainly because of the following reasons: It’s jam-packed with Vitamin C, and it works as an appetite inhibitor.

Use half a grapefruit for the juice, and you’ve got yourself a very nice detox drink that will help you lose weight by filling you up properly, thus causing you to eat less.

Activated Charcoal Lime Juice for a Flatter Tummy

You’ve seen us mention charcoal a bit before in the article, so it’s only fair if we explain what’s happening. Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and then releasing them from your body (through the cleansing and detoxifying process). Because of its effects, wherever you add the activated charcoal (cucumber, grapefruit, or in this case, lime juice), you’ll get all the benefits.

It works best with lime because of the taste and due to how lime can cause some amazing positive effects (again, Vitamin C plays a big role here). In any case, creating a detox drink isn’t anything difficult and is somewhat required if you want a flat tummy and a fit body!
