If you want to flush out toxins from your body, this simple method is probably the most effective way: lots and lots of water. You don’t have to drink the plain water directly, add a little flavor with these tasty additions. Plus, they are all with great detoxification function.

Lemon:

Lemon water helps to cleanse and alkalize the body. Add one thinly sliced lemon to a large pitcher, or squeeze fresh lemon juice into your glass. Drink it first thing in the morning, and wait about 30 minutes to have breakfast. This will help you fully receive the benefits of lemon water, which are listed below:

Reduces inflammation
Aids digestion
Helps you lose weight
Keeps your skin blemish-free
Gives your immune system a boost
Excellent source of potassium
Freshens your breath
Gives you an energy boost
Helps fight viral infections
Mint:

Mint adds a touch of sweetness without the sugar to your water, and it also helps settle your stomach and aids in digestion as well.

Cucumber:

Cucumber water is one of the most refreshing and delicious ways to take advantage of the great beneficial effects that cucumbers can deliver. Adding a few slices of cucumber to your water makes for excellent rehydration, and cucumber also contains anti-inflammatory properties.

Ginger:

The spicy root helps cleanse out your system, aids in digestion, and settles your stomach. Add a few thin slices or grate a tiny piece into your water and taste before adding more as necessary.

To make one serving of detox water, add three to five slices of cucumber, half a lemon, and a few sprigs of mint leaves to 24 ounces of ice-cold water. You can also add sliced peeled ginger (about a one-inch piece of ginger root, or to taste) for a spicy kick.
