If you are feeling weighed down and sluggish, it may be time for my
secret detox drink, which can help cleanse your body and make you
feel rejuvenated. For many years, I’ve added detox drinks to my health
regime because as toxins leave my body, I feel clear-headed and
energized. Plus, recipes like this one don’t require a blender or juicer,
so they are simple and easily accessible.
In order to avoid toxic overload that will leave you feeling fatigued,
moody, bloated and achey, it’s a great idea to use detox drinks to help
cleanse and purify your body.
My secret detox drink contains some of the best ingredients for
detoxification. Apple cider vinegar has shown to improve
your metabolism and digestive function, while working to cleanse your
liver and lymphatic system.
Lemon juice has an alkaline effect on your body and helps to regulate
your pH levels. Drinking lemon water, or adding it to your drinks and
juices, can help to boost your energy levels, detoxify your body, keep
skin glowing (thanks to vitamin C) and improve immune function.
One glass of my secret detox drink made using this recipe (with the

How to Make the Secret Detox Drink
Stir it all together, and your detox drink is ready to enjoy. I like to have
it when it’s still warm, but you can drink it at any temperature.
For more intense detoxification, I recommend drinking this detox drink
three times daily about 20 minutes before meals for two weeks to flush
out toxins. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to cleanse your
body and boost your energy, have this drink once a day before
breakfast or lunch.
