Papaya Detox Drink


I love papaya and a couple months ago come across this detox drink. After some research I found out that papaya contains an amazingly rich source of proteolytic enzymes which boost the digestion of protein. Papain in papaya is extremely good for improving digestion and prevents constipation. Papaya helps flush out toxins in our body.

I tried this drink and it tasted really good. After a few days of taking it I didn't lose much weight, but it helped with my bloating!!  Hope it helps you too!


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of Papaya
  • 1/2 cup of Pineapple
  • 1 Tbsp of Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions:

1) Peel the Papaya, dig up seeds and dice up. Then peel and dice Pineapple

2) Blend into a blender for about 30 secs and pour into a cup. Add Lemon, Stir and Enjoy!


Metabolism Boost Drink


Simple and Easy:
    20 ounces of water add 1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced. 1 lemon thinly sliced. 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger and around 10 spearmint leaves. 
    Mix and leave in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and in the morning you have a cold and refreshing drink.

Ginger root actually helps the body to produce digestive enzymes on its own, assisting with the digestive process and boosting the metabolism. Also, Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of cramps.

* Cucumbers are a very good source of the vitamins C and the mineral molybdenum. They are also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fiber and magnesium and contain the important mineral silica. The high water content of cucumber makes it naturally hydrating. Cucumbers are said to be excellent for weight reduction, weight control, blood detoxification, and the elimination of uric acid. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the metabolic breakdown of substances in food called purines.

Green Tea Detox Drink

  • 1 organic green tea bag
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 of a lemon juiced
  • pinch of Cayenne
Directions:

1) Add Tea and Cinnamon stick in hot water for 8-10 minutes

2) Stir in honey, lemon juice, and cayenne.

3) Drink immediately


* Cayenne causes the body temperature to rise, which when the body temperature rises it needs to be cooled and you burn more calories. You burn more calories when the body is forced to go through a cooling process.

*Cinnamon stick is a great source of manganese, fiber, and calcium. It also lowers cholesterol and helps with blood sugar regulation.

* Green Tea appeared to raise metabolic rates and speeds up fat oxidation. Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation. Thermogenesis is the calories the body burns while digesting and absorbing food as it's being eaten. Drinking tea is healthy because it contains flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that can help protect against cancer, heart disease and stroke.
