Detox Water

Detox water is perfect for hydrating and cleansing after the Christmas feasting. It’s a flavored, light, and fresh drink with lots of fresh fruit. You just need to choose your favorite fruit, wash it thoroughly, then put it in water and let it infuse for at least a couple of hours. In this case, I used orange, mint, and blueberries. For digestion, also try the canary drink and the belly-deflating drink.

Detox waters are a pleasant way to hydrate and deflate from excess fluids and are perfect for those who suffer from abdominal bloating.

I also want to suggest a variant with apple and cinnamon, great for those who want to improve their appearance with a natural antioxidant.
