What You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/p>\n How It\u2019s Done:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s very simple really. Chop up an equal quantity of lemons and limes to watermelon and cucumber and add a small handful of fresh mint leaves. Add whatever amount of water you want, depending on how strong you want to flavour the water.<\/p>\n Why Lemons and Limes?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lemons and limes not only contain lots of antioxidants, they also aid digestion and boost your immune system. Fresh lemon juice helps to cleanse and alkalize the body by eliminating toxins.<\/p>\n Why Watermelon and Cucumber?<\/strong><\/p>\n Both watermelon and cucumber contain the compound, citrulline, which is an amino acid that is known to help the liver and kidneys eliminate ammonia from our bodies. Watermelon and cucumber will also hydrate your body along with the water.<\/p>\n Why Mint?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mint adds a mild sweetness to take the zing out of the lemons and limes, but it also helps to aid digestion which in turn will encourage weight loss. It\u2019s also a natural soother for an unsettled stomach.<\/p>\n You can probably see the trend here; fresh ingredients that aid digestion, boost your immune system and rehydrate the body.
