DETOX ICE TEA

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.

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.

Prepare this the night before

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....
