Watermelon-Cucumber-Basil-Detox-Drink

Sunday morning hangover? Well, today's detox drink can be your instant cure!
Sweet & juicy watermelon with fresh basil is not only a delicious, summer-detox drink but it makes you feel amazing by flushing out the 'bloat' and keeping you well hydrated! What makes this refreshing combo do the trick?
The Times of India ranked watermelon as its #1 hangover cure. Melon provides water and nutrients, which your body needs when you’ve overindulged. Watermelon and cucumbers are both chock-full of potassium, which helps flush out sodium and keep fluid balance normal. Basil also works wonders for flat bellies! It’s in the same family as mint, so it calms down your digestive system and keeps everything running smoothly. Add all that to water, and you have your ultimate bloat-flusher to kiss your ‘hangover’ goodbye!

To prepare this super easy and refreshing detox water you’ll need
1 cup cubed watermelon
½ cup diced cucumber
6-8 basil leaves
½ a lime
3 litres water
Combine watermelon, cucumber, basil, lime, and water in a large mason jar. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight. Feel free to muddle the ingredients with the back of a wooden spoon to strengthen the flavor!

Research shows that watermelon helps speed up muscle recovery after exercise, so this drink helps you rehydrate and get back to feeling your best after a tough sweat session!
Ever wondered why cucumbers go on your eyes at the spa? Nope, it’s not for a snack in case you get hungry during a facial. Cucumbers do wonders for keeping your skin glowing and wrinkle free because of the vitamin C and silica content! Watermelon is your skin’s best friend too, especially in the summers. It’s loaded with “nature’s sunscreen,” lycopene, which helps prevent skin damage from sunburn to keep your skin healthy!
This lil’ number keeps sweet cravings at bay by filling up your belly so you don’t go binge-eating. Plus the natural sweetness of watermelon and basil gives your taste buds just what they’re looking for without loads of sugar or calories! Give this hangover-cure a whirl and stay hydrated as you relax through a lazy Sunday.
