Just a quick disclaimer, before we start: I am not a doctor and this is not a medical advice. Always consult your doctor before making changes to your diet.

There are countless recipes for detox drinks and they all do work if you drink them. Many people start drinking these drinks and expect miraculous results in the first day.

Here’s the simple recipe for my favorite detox drink:

• 10 oz. Water
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1/4 tsp. Turmeric

How It Works

The reason why detox drinks work well is partly because of the continuous intake of antioxidants. If you were to eat a meal with a high antioxidant content, the oxidants don’t stick around for very long and are rapidly excreted by your kidneys. Green tea antioxidants work for an hour or two and so do most other water-soluble antioxidants. When you consume them continuously in a drink however, the effects are much more renounced and you start to feel the benefits of the detox.

This detox drink works very well, because of the cleansing power of honey, mixed with the acidity of lemon juice and it’s vitamin c content. Turmeric rapidly removes toxins from the liver and some cultures even use it as a hangover remedy, as it cleanses all the toxins that are created as by produces of alcohol breakdown. Continue Reading  >> Page 2
