We all like a smooth, flat belly, but for most of us this doesn’t come easy! We tend to store fat, coupled with possible constipation, gas and fluid retention giving off the impression of a couple of extra pounds.
With this simple detox water recipe, it will be easier for you to get a healthy flat belly and clear skin using only lemon, ginger, cucumber and mint.
Can detox water help you lose weight?
Just drinking lemon water will not make your belly flat instantly, you still have to include more fiber in your diet and make sure you keep a nutritious healthy diet. The main goal of using more water like in this detox water recipe, is to reduce your consumption of other sugary drinks, and increase your consumption of daily water. Mixed with some fasting can work wonders, and help you get that flat belly faster.
