THE BIG HEALTH & BEUTY DETOX
Ever feel like you need a complete overhaul?
Well I wanted one for ages & went for it without thinking twice! Lets
face we woman will never have the perfect time for anything specially if you’re
a mother.
Detox
diet is the ultimate health and beauty boost out there. But some can be
dangerous and can put your life in danger.
Rather than following an extreme detox plan that only contains glasses of
nasty juice. I chose the healthy way to detox my way to clean & clear body,
mind and soul. I wish I can blog everything I ate over the
week in pictures but I wanted to share my Ultimate Detox Ice Tea, which was the Highlight of the whole
detox. My family members who weren’t even detoxing enjoyed them. Ice teas are
perfect for summer days and can cool you instantly but the right one can also
detox your body.
So
without further ado here is my five day Detox Ice Tea.
FENUGREEK
SEED & GREEN TEA
Prepare this
the night before
Make 1.5 litres of green tea and add three teaspoons of fenugreek seed, place it in the fridge at room temperature to chill over night.
To serve, add ice cube, lemon, lime and honey to taste.

cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart attack
BERRY & GREEN TEA
Prepare this the night before
Make 1.5 litres of berry green tea (using
5 green tea bag & 3 berry tea bag), place it in the fridge at room temperature
to chill over night.
To serve, add fresh berries and sliced
grapefruit for added detox benefit.
Green tea is not only a good
weight-loss drink, but it is extremely high in antioxidants. Research has also
suggested that drinking green tea can protect the liver from diseases including
fatty liver disease.
GINGER & GREEN TEA

Make 1.5litres of green tea (using 5
green tea bag) slice five-centimeter ginger and to the hot green tea, place it

Ginger is great for reducing
feelings of nausea, it can help improve digestion, beat bloating and reduce
gas. In addition to this, ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for
boosting the immune system.
BERRY & PEPPERMINT TEA

peppermint tea (using 5 peppermint tea bag and 3 berry tea bag) and place it in
the fridge at room temperature to chill over night.

leaves
Peppermint tea the big Immune System Benefiter, it acts
as a great preventative force against catching the common cold and flu. It
comes with good amounts of potassium, calcium and vitamin B, all useful agents
in the fight against colds and flus.
ZEST & GREEN TEA

Make 1.5 litres of green tea (using 5
green tea bags) crate lemon and lime zest and add to the hot tea and place it
in the fridge at room temperature to chill over night.

Lemons are a staple of many detox
diets, and there is good reason for this. Firstly, lemons are packed with
antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting
disease-forming free radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline
effect on the body, meaning that it can help restore the body's pH balance,
benefitting the immune system.
Overall my detoxing week was a positive experience for me, as it helped me kick of my weight loss program with cleansed Body, Mind and Soul.
I truly enjoyed putting this blog post together.
Hope you enjoyed it and good luck on your detox. Let me know how you get on as I would love to hear them....
