7-Day Water Detox

water detoxYesterday I started a seven day water detox.  It's a really simple recipe and is a fantastic way to flush your liver and kidneys of toxins.  It also helps you get rid of extra water weight.Recipe:

  • Pure or Distilled Water
  • Organic Lemon Juice
  • Organic Cranberry Juice
  • Detox Tea (I use Yogi Dandelion Detox)

Directions: Mix 7.5 cups of water with 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp cranberry juice and 1 tea bag.  Let sit for about 15 minutes and drink daily.   (You need to be sure you're drinking all 60 oz every day)Detox Water 1That's it!  I usually make mine the night before so it's nice and cold in the morning when I start drinking.  Just make sure you don't have any long car rides in your near future or you'll be stopping quite a bit for a restroom!  :)Detox Water 2Note:   A couple people have left comments asking if this is all you eat/drink all day.  The answer is NO!!  There are no required diet changes for this detox.  However, if you have a diet that is high in sugar, carbs, dairy, etc.  I recommend eating less of those things and adding more greens and veggies to your daily intake.   :)Thanks so those of you who asked!  That is a very important point that I completely overlooked!
