Drinking enough is important for our bodies. Detox water not only looks good but is also a healthy alternative to juices or artificially sweetened water from the supermarket.

What do we need detox water for?

Our body consists of almost 70 percent water. In addition to many other functions, water has a detox effect because it supports our detoxification organs at work. Our kidneys filter and clean about 180 liters of fluid per day. About two liters of this, including the filtered toxins, are excreted in the form of urine every day. If there is a lack of water in the body, the kidneys and liver can no longer work properly and the toxins can no longer be completely filtered out. So it is very important to drink enough fluids. As a rule, one and a half to two liters is recommended. If you sweat due to exercise or heat, you should drink more.

Up to 20 percent of the requirement comes from food, for example, vegetables, fruit, or fish. The remaining 80 percent should be covered through drinking. The best would be still water and unsweetened herbal teas. Since that is too boring for many in the long run, sweetened products are quickly reached for. PraxisVITA has collected recipes with which you can easily spice up your water with healthy ingredients and thus produce your detox water.

The basic recipe for detox water

The following applies to all detox water recipes: the basis is always water. Various fruits, vegetables, or spices are then placed in a container with water and placed in the refrigerator for a few hours (preferably overnight). This allows the water to absorb the aroma of the ingredients well. Since the peel is also used, it is important to wash everything well beforehand or to use organic products straight away. Large jugs are suitable as containers, but large mason jars (supermarket) also look great when they are filled with pretty detox water.
