If you spend any time researching new and exciting ways to diet, you’ve inevitably run across the concept of detox water. And, if you’re anything like me, you’ve scoffed at them a bit. Detox water just sounds redundant, as water is vital to a healthy and well-functioning body. Of course, if you need water if you want to cleanse your system.
It’s still true that you need plenty of clean water in order to maintain a healthy diet and to lose weight. “Detox water,” however, adds a few extra bonus ingredients to your daily hydration to help boost your metabolism and instill your body with extra nutrients.
What do Dietitians and Health Gurus Mean by “Detox”?
When health experts talk about “toxins,” they’re referring to two different forms of harmful substances that hang out inside your body. Environmental toxins are carried by external elements like your food or pollution in your environment. Chemical pesticides used on the apple you ate are an example of an environmental toxin; as is the lingering dyes in the cough medicine you swallowed last night.
Metabolic toxins are made inside your body. These toxins include illnesses, like a virus or a bacterial infection, as well as minerals that can potentially harm you in large doses, such as mercury or lead.
How Does Detox Water Work?
Well, your body is actually pretty efficient at detoxifying its blood and organs without the help of any expensive supplements. Also, one of the great things about these detox water recipes is that they sweeten up your water and also help you increase your daily intake of water, thus satisfying your sugar cravings and keeping you from running to the cookie jar instead. If you are regimented about your drinking, the extra hydration that detox water provides will make you feel full longer, thereby helping you to lose weight. And lastly, many of the ingredients in detox water recipes are meant to give you an extra dose of vitamins ( from natural sources) and a nice boost to your metabolism.
