With all the ‘fake’ foods we eat on a daily basis (we’re talking about processed foods and microwavable meals), there has been an urgent need for detoxification. Fortunately, we can get a detox without having to go to the spa or health clinic. There are simpler, less expensive and more effective ways to flush those unwanted chemicals from our body. And they include drinking the following power drinks:

Dark Veggie Smoothie

If you can’t eat a big plate of fresh spinach or a big bowl of broccoli in one seating, why not sip them instead?  Blending dark leafy greens can provide your body with tons of health benefits, including sharper brain, leaner muscles, better digestion, and stronger immune system. You can turn lots of leafy veggies into one glass of refreshing drink! Want it sweet? Add a spoon or two of honey.

Green Tea

Drinking a cup of hot green tea every day is one great way to nourish your body. Green tea contains high levels of antioxidants that effectively get rid of free radicals from your body. Squeeze some lemon juice to make it tastier and boost its health benefits.

Watermelon Juice

Juicing watermelon is like extracting a bunch of powerful nutrients to feed your body. Watermelon juice also tastes fantastic! Another benefit of drinking this power juice is that it promotes kidney and liver function.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Cinnamon

Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and extract of one lemon juice in 16-ounce water. Use cold water to help your body burn more calories whilst eliminating those disease-causing chemicals. One of the most successful applications of this vinegar is in patients with type 2 diabetes. It has been shown to have numerous benefits for insulin function and blood sugar levels.

Pineapple and Mango Smoothie

Pineapple and mango sounds so delicious and refreshing together! These fruits have a variety of nutrients and vitamins the body will need to function correctly. Another benefit is getting a boost of energy that will last for the entire day.

Pomegranate Juice

Want to ease muscle pain after a heavy workout? Drink pomegranate juice before you exercise. Research shows that this power juice helps relieve sore muscles after exercise. It can also block or slow down the build-up of cholesterol, thus, promoting heart health. It also contains antioxidants, especially polyphenols that flush out free radicals from your system.
