Frequently Asked Questions About Detox water
Does detox water actually detox your body?
No, detox water does not remove toxins or cleanse your body; your liver and kidneys handle those processes. Adding fruit or herbs mainly gives water flavor, which may make it more appealing to drink.
How do you make detox water?
Add sliced fruit, vegetables, or herbs to a jug of cold water, then chill it so the flavors infuse. Wash the ingredients first, and skip added sugar if you want a lightly flavored drink.
What ingredients go in detox water?
Common detox water ingredients include lemon, cucumber, mint, berries, and orange. Choose combinations you enjoy for flavor; none of these ingredients has a proven special ability to detox the body.
Does detox water help you lose weight?
Detox water does not directly burn fat or cause weight loss. Replacing a sugary drink with unsweetened infused water may lower your overall calorie intake, but the water itself is not a weight-loss treatment.
How long should detox water infuse before you drink it?
Detox water can be drunk as soon as the fruit or herbs add enough flavor for you. Chilling it for a few hours usually gives the ingredients more time to infuse, but leaving it overnight is not essential.
How long does detox water last in the fridge?
Keep detox water covered in the refrigerator and drink it within a day for the best flavor. Discard it sooner if it smells unusual, looks cloudy, or the fruit has become unpleasantly soft.
Can you drink detox water every day?
Yes, you can drink detox water daily as a flavored drink. Use clean ingredients and keep it refrigerated; it can contribute to fluid intake, but it does not need to replace plain water or meals.
When is the best time to drink detox water?
There is no special time to drink detox water; have it whenever you want a flavored drink. Drinking it in the morning or before a meal does not give it a unique detoxifying effect.
Can detox water replace plain water?
Detox water can count toward your fluid intake, but it does not have to replace plain water. If you prefer the taste, alternate the two; remove the fruit before it becomes overly soft or changes the water's flavor.
Should you eat the fruit in detox water?
Yes, you can eat the fruit after it has infused the water, as long as it is still fresh and has been kept chilled. The fruit may taste less crisp, and its presence does not give the water extra detoxifying effects.

What is Detox water?
Detox water is water infused with sliced fruit, vegetables or herbs—often lemon, cucumber and mint—with no single standard recipe. Despite the name, it should not be understood as a special drink that removes toxins or treats fluid retention. It is commonly served chilled, kept in a water bottle for sipping through the day, or offered alongside meals, especially in warm weather. The flavour is light and fresh, and becomes more noticeable as the ingredients steep.
Made without added sugar, it is very low in energy, at about 2 calories per 100 g. It suits anyone who wants a more flavoursome alternative to plain water. For a subtler taste, use a few slices of fruit with herbs, and strain them out before serving if preferred.
