You know not to go on one of those super low-calorie, no-food detoxes. But add these infusions from Infused Water to an already healthy diet to reduce inflammation, promote immunity and healthy skin, and hydrate after a hard workout.
The vitamin C rich grapefruit contains lycopene, which not only acts as a potent antioxidant for cell health and cell regeneration but also helps to regulate blood pressure. The lemon and lime contribute limonoids, which help to combat free radical damage to cells and help to relieve inflammation, one of the major causes of pain in the body's joints and extremities. The mint and ginger contribute enzymes, oils, and polyphenols that help the functioning of the cardiovascular system, immune system, and nervous system.
