Ginger Detox Water Recipe to flush toxins and to cleanse your system to lose weight

  • Lemons - are a great source of Vitamin C and Potassium. This is a virtually fat-free food which punches a massive amount of flavor. Lemon aids in liver detox and alkalizes the body. Lemon juice is also a mild diuretic, so adding it to your water is going to help flush out those toxins.
  • Cayenne Pepper - Contains capsaicin, which inhibits hunger and fat storage. Cayenne Pepper is also known for raising the body temperature and regulate blood sugar along with stimulates the circulatory system and aids digestion.
  • Ginger - Helps in digestion and Excess Gas. You don’t want to keep that gas inside of you because what happens, bloating! Which is so uncomfortable. Ginger also Detoxifies and Disinfects the body. There are so many benefits to adding these three pieces to your water. I drink it the first two weeks all day than one drink every morning.

      I usually start drinking it warm right after I simmer it. If you make it in smaller batches you could make enough for one glass warm. I leave it on the counter so it is pretty warm for a few hours. You can drink it cold too. :-)

    I will be trying this drink soon! It sounds good and I have always heard that lemons and the cayenne pepper are so good for keeping your weight in check too.

    I use a piece of ginger and lemon in my green juices everyday along with kale and celery. I don't use cayenne pepper much but I would probably like to try it

    Sounds interesting ... I am a little worried that the cayenne might be too hot for me. I really dislike hot tasting food. I think I will make some minus the cayenne - I love lemons and ginger.

      cayenne is a chillie variety, but I would try paprika instead, it is a lot milder being from capsicums but must still contain the capsaicin maybe in smaller quantities!

    I have always been really interested in the idea of detoxing but haven't got around to actually going "all in" to do it myself. I have heard of a very similar recipe and a girlfriend of mine did it for about a week, loving the results. She felt amazing after. I think this may make me finally cave in!

    I love natural detox drinks. I would love to make this this summer. Do you have to fast when drinking it? You said you drink it in the morning. Do you do that on an empty stomach?

    • adecheine

      No I am not fasting at all, I drink it first thing and it really helps get you moving. I drink it all day in place of water for about three days then switch it up.

    Hmm... sounds interesting. We do have something similar, its ginger tea. We squeeze lemons on the tea after it has cooled down. (Vitamin C is destroyed in hot mixtures). To sweeten, we add honey or raw sugar. I would try your recipe with cayenne. Thanks for sharing!

    Interesting - I'm sure it's a great way to reboot one's system. Unfortunately I think the Cayanne might be a little too hot for my tastes. Thanks for sharing!

    I've tried this before, but without ginger. I thought it would be torture, but I actually enjoyed the drink and craved it even after the detox has ended. The addition of ginger is amazing!

    I've never tried this one. I've done the lemon, ginger, mint and cucumber water. It was pretty tasty. I'll have to try this one with the cayenne.

    I can see me working up a sweat drinking this! I may have to pass on the cayenne, and just stick with the lemon and ginger.

    I enjoy hot foods but it's really not that hot. It's sort of a "zing" as someone said earlier. I love it! I heat it up on cooler mornings and it's a great wake up drink.

    I recently had a cold drink called Kleanse while on vacation in Scottsdale at an amazing restaurant called Kale & Clover. The ingredients were Aloe Vera, Lemon, Ginger, Turmeric, Honey, and Cayenne. It was wonderful and I had to try to recreate it. I didn't have Aloe Vera on hand so I used water along with the recommended amount of ginger and lemon. I added about the same amount of turmeric that I did cayenne, as well. I also used some xylitol to sweeten it. I think the Aloe would give it a little thicker consistency so I may try that next time but overall I was very pleased. I made a cup of cammonile tea this evening and added the warm detox juice, about half to half ratio. It was about perfect. I've put the remainder in the fridge and look forward to seeing how it will taste chilled in the morning. I am working towards losing weight, eating more cleanly, and just being more mindful about making good choices as far as consumption and over well being. Thanks for posting this great recipe and for all the comments. This one is a keeper!

      I will drink it for three days. Then a week off. I drink a few glasses a day minimum.
