These days no conversation is complete without the inclusion of a few words like toxins, anti oxidants, detox, organic n so on......I call them "flavour of the season" words. And, they are rightly so, after every few months a new terminology makes it to your "conversation starter" list. Isn't it???
Most of my friends especially the ones who wants to lose a few pounds fast are on a new fad -The Detox Water.

So, What Is Detox Water
As most of you are aware, we need to drink around 8 - 10 glasses of water each day to keep us hydrated as well as keep your vital organs healthy. Here, You don't have to drink plain water but add "something" to it. It could be a fruit, vegetable, seeds, leaves etc depending on your choice. These adds flavours to plain water. Some people find it difficult to drink plain water and always reach for colas/juices/tea/coffee. Detox water are boon for such individuals.
Also, water has immense benefits and adding vitamins and minerals rich fruits only adds to it. Benefits of Water

Useful information..I'll definitely try these delicious healthy combination
My favorite is the 'King of Detox Water' i.e. lemon and mint water. Cool and refreshing I like the tingling sensation of mint combined with the slightly sour but refreshing taste of lemon.A truly wonderful drink especially recommended for those hot days when the lips are parched and the throat cries for mercy.
I echo Geeta Nair's views.Lemon plus plain water is amrit for me.By the way, a glass of water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning keeps you fresh the entire day.
I've been drinking cucumber lemon water.. love it. Just cleanses my system. Keeps me fresh
