Chia Detox Water



Chia Seeds are gluten-free and a good source of calcium.  They are also supposed to help curb your appetite. When added to a glass of water they swell up and take on a gel-like consistency.   I am trying to drink this detox water first thing in the mornings.  It helps wake me up and gives me the energy to get going. They make black and white ones. Another thing is that lime juice is an anti-inflammatory.  

All round this detox water is super good for you. Staying hydrated is incredibly important for your body and overall health. Sometimes it is hard to get in your daily water intake, so here’s some tasty ways to make it easier to drink more water. Water helps to flush toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to cells, among many other benefits like improving your skin condition and reducing the frequency of headaches. 

One of my favorites right now is lemon-mint water. So flavorful and satisfying. I love the lemon and mint combination because it’s so fresh tasting.I like to add chia seeds to beverages when I can, because they are so incredibly good for you. They are small, but mighty.
