Conclusion
Berries are rich in antioxidants that help fight inflammation and boost the immune system. Cinnamon improves digestion and metabolism. Lemon and lime are good for the skin. All of the ingredients used in these recipes provide some benefit. Some provide benefit on their own, and some work together to enhance the benefits of other ingredients.
When you finish making your detox water recipe, don’t drink it immediately. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least two hours before you drink or serve it. This is how the nutrients make their way into the water after having time to seep.
It may take some getting used to if you’ve never tried a recipe of fruit and water before. It may be smarter to start in smaller sizes first to make sure you enjoy the combination. A miniature serving in your own 8-ounce glass is fine.
