5 Benefits of Drinking Detox Water

Detox water has been known to have both negative and positive effects. Some benefits of detox water include; it gives a stronger immune system, it boosts your energy, it improves your skin, it gives healthier hair, and is a good weight loss aid.

1. Stronger immune system

Drinking detox water helps freeing your organs of waste to allow them to properly function. Ridding your organs of waste means nutrients, such as Vitamin C, will be able to be absorbed better, giving your immune system a huge boost. Most of the herbs you take that is in your detox water will help the lymphatic system, which plays a big role in keeping you healthy and firing on all cylinders. Many detox programs also focus on light exercises which help to circulate lymph fluid through the body and helps it to drain, strengthening your immune system all the while.

2. Boosts energy

Research has show that many people who drink detox water feel more energetic. This is obvious and reasonable as detoxing causes stopping the influx of the things that caused you to need a detox in the first place. By cutting out the sugar, caffeine, trans fat, saturated fat, and replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll be getting a natural energy boost, one that comes without a resultant crash. It is crucial to stay well hydrated while on any detox program, and that can also be a source of increased energy if you don’t get enough water throughout the day.

3. Improved skin

Skin being the largest organ of the human body, it only makes sense that it would show positive results from drinking detox water. Taking a sauna to help the body sweat out additional toxins is one way to help with detoxing efforts. Clearer, smoother skin can be expected at the end of your detox plan. It is also been reported that detoxing can help with acne, although the condition may worsen before it gets better as the toxins are released. You may find that your skin itches or gets patchy before clearing up, but this is part of the process and is a sign that you’re on the right track with your program.

4. Healthier hair

By the time you can see your hair, it’s already considered dead, as all of its growth occurs within the hair follicle. This is why it’s important to keep your body functioning at its full potential through a regular detoxing strategy. When your hair is able to grow uninhibited by internal toxins you’ll see and feel the difference in your hair. In many instances hair gets shinier, and feels softer to the touch. Detoxing isn’t enough to stop male pattern baldness, but many report that their hair grows more quickly, a sign of healthier hair.

5. Weight loss aid

It is easy to see how a detox diet would cause you to lose weight in the short term, but a healthier way to view it would be to establish long-term eating habits, and rid yourself of unhealthy habits. Many times it is the drastic reduction in calories and rapid weight loss that is focused on, especially in the media. But these short-term results won’t last if you don’t make it a point to replace bad foods with good, and use your new-found energy to exercise more and be more active overall.
