Water:
H20 is just basically good for us, it helps flush out nasty toxins and waste in
our system, giving organs like the liver and kidney an easier time doing their
functions.
Watermelon (or cucumber): Watermelon helps the body flush out toxins because it
contains the organic-compound citrulline, which is an amino acid that has been
shown to help the liver and kidneys filter and get rid of ammonia. Ammonia
comes in external forms, but is also a by-product of the proteins our bodies
are burning up constantly for energy, and it’s quite damaging to our cells.
Cucumber also contains citrulline, but not as much as watermelon. Watermelon
may also just give the liver an overall boost.
Mint leaves: Mint leaves have a nice refreshing flavor to add up to
your drink. On top of that, it can help you digest more effectively, improving
the flow of bile from the liver, to the gallbladder, to the small intestine,
where it breaks down dietary fats. Mint also helps relax cramped up stomach
muscles.
Lemon (or lime): Lemon or lime juice helps stimulate and regulate the
digestive track (which is why it’s so helpful with heartburn, constipation, and
gas), stimulates bile production, and thins out bile, which allows it to flow
more freely. Bile is produced by the liver and ends up in the small intestine
to break down lipids (fats) that we’ve consumed.
