Detox water removes toxins from the body and the infused fruits and herbs provide added benefits. 

Hydration is absolutely essential, especially when you are trying to drop weight. Weight loss is a journey that is a holistic amalgamation of workouts, diets, dedication and more. While people generally focus on what to eat, it’s equally important to understand what to drink. Whether you start the day with a detox drink on an empty stomach or have one after working out, detox water is refreshing and low in calories. Since it’s infused with natural ingredients like fruits and herbs, it also comes with added benefits of natural goodness and nutrition. Detox water is energizing and a much healthier alternative to sugary energy drinks.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Adrija Dey

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
