Instead of wasting your money on those expensive detox drinks that you see at the store, you can whip up your detox drink at home. The best part about making your detox drink is that you probably already have the ingredients that you need in the kitchen.
These ingredients are very inexpensive, so for each drink, you’ll probably be spending just a few cents instead of the $3-4 charged at stores for detox drinks.
The great thing about this detox drink is that it includes ingredients that help boost metabolism, burn off fat, lower blood sugar and fight the signs of aging.
Here is a closer look at the ingredients used in this drink, the benefits they have to offer, and of course, the recipe for this super detox drink so you can whip it up and start enjoying all the advantages.
The Ingredients and the Benefits
Before giving you the recipe for this super detox drink, let’s take a look at the ingredients used to make this drink and the benefits each ingredient has to offer.
① Lemon Juice – Lemon juice is one of the key ingredients and it contains high amounts of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps to fight aging and that also boosts your immune system. Lemon juice helps regulate your body’s pH, and it also helps to regulate blood sugar.
② Cayenne Pepper – Studies show that cayenne pepper can help boost metabolism and reduce blood pressure.
③ Cinnamon – Cinnamon is an excellent antioxidant, it is easy to find and it is very inexpensive as well. Antioxidants help to fight off the signs of aging, which includes offering anti-aging benefits to your skin. This spice is also known to help balance out blood sugar levels, which makes it very beneficial for individuals with diabetes.
④ Apple Cider Vinegar – Another key ingredient is apple cider vinegar, which contains good bacteria and important enzymes. Apple cider vinegar also has acetic acid in it that could help you burn fat and lose weight; also studies have proven that ACV can significantly lower blood sugar. If you eat starchy foods, apple cider vinegar can help to eat those starches as well while balancing your PH level.
⑤ Stevia – To add some sweetness to the drink, making it a bit more palatable, stevia is used. This is a sweetener that is all-natural, so you do not have to worry about nasty chemicals in your drink since stevia comes right from a plant known as the stevia plant.
