7 days of Detox Drinks

A healthy outside starts from the inside. - Robert Urich
I like many others am health conscious, I want to live my life to the fullest and that includes living my life in the healthiest way possible. Water is everything to our bodies, if I start feeling groggy and unwell its normally because I have not consumed enough water for the day. To help combat this I like to start everyday with a "Detox".
I like to start my morning off with warm lemon water which aids in speeding up the metabolism but also wakes me up and removes the need to head straight to the coffee machine.
