Lemon Lime Detox Water

How many of you have the summer bloat from too many beers and burgers?

*raise your hand*   C’mon, don’t be shy. I know I can’t be the only one 😉

Well, it’s a good thing you stopped by today because I have something that is going to help you with that. The best thing is that it’s one of the easiest things to do, and you probably already have the ingredients.

If you have issues with detoxing because of drugs and alcohol, maybe a luxury rehab booking can help you start a new chapter.

We have all heard that cucumber and lemon water have health benefits when drank separately. Can you imagine the powerhouse your simple drinking water becomes when you combine the cucumbers and lemons together? Bam! Toxins begone! To add a bit of sour fun, let’s add limes with all their vitamins and minerals.

I’ve only been to a spa a handful of times, but every time we’ve gone to get a fancy massage, they always hand us cucumber water afterwards. I guess they’re on to something!

Detox water benefits:

Water: 

It helps to maintain body fluids, including digestion to body temperature.

Cucumbers:

– Cleanses kidneys, improving skin, and lowering blood pressure.
Lemon & Limes: -Helps to fight infections, cleanse the kidney, and reduce bloating.

Pretty amazing, right?

  1. I literally have been drinking lemon water and lime water seperately as of recently…but I never thought to combine them and add cucumbers! I love all 3 of these items and to make a detox water sounds like what I need because I am raising my hand….I have a little belly bloat from bad summer eating and traveling lol!

  2. Lemons also help detox your liver. Well.. when you have them with hot water. I’lm going to be trying this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing!

  3. This would be perfect for me. I am trying to eat healthier. I am going to try this on the weekend.

  4. It’s not often that I can say that a detox drink actually looks tasty, but this one sure does. I think even if it didn’t have the detoxifying benefits, I would still love to try it.

  5. Yes, this will be my favorite drink of choice all summer. Normally, I just use lime and lemon but I will now add the cucumbers to help detoxify my system. Great to know! Thanks.

  6. I love lemon water and cucumber water, but I’ve never thought to combine them. Excellent idea! I’m doing this first thing in the morning. I need a good detox.

  7. Looks like a refreshing detox drink. I have read a lot of recipes for infused water, but I was just thinking.. wouldn’t it be better to eating the vegetables as it is instead of soaking it in water?

    1. You could and many people use the leftover fruit and vegetables from their infused water, freeze it, and then use it as filler in their smoothies. So, yes, you could just eat them, but for people who dont like plain water, this is a good way for them to flavor their water and not use those chemical-laden flavor packs.

  8. OMG “Bloated from too many beers and burgers” I nearly spewed water on my monitor just now! LOL Like you said there must be a good reason this is the drink on offer the moment you walk into a spa! They are definitely on to something! I’ve actually been surprisingly alcohol light this summer, but a good detox is helpful year round in my book!

  9. I’m actually planning for next week to be a total detox week! I need to get back on track and stop the overeating craziness that has been my life lately. This would make a great addition to my detox week 🙂

  10. This sounds like an awesome detox water I would love to try. I have everything but the cucumbers which I so love. Thanks so much for sharing.

  11. I’m not really a fan of water (I know I know) but I think this could actually drink more of it. I really enjoy cucumber water and I like having lemon in it to add some flavor so both would be really refreshing!
