Why these ingredients?
-
Lemon Juice: Lemons are a source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant. They're believed to enhance the body's ability to detoxify and can aid digestion.
-
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): While scientific evidence is lacking, many believe ACV can help balance the body's pH, boost gut health, and support detoxification processes.
-
Maple Syrup/Honey: Aside from sweetness, they provide minerals and antioxidants.
-
Cayenne Pepper: Can stimulate circulation and aid digestion.
It's essential to be cautious and not overconsume detox drinks, especially those containing apple cider vinegar, as it can be acidic and may irritate the stomach in larger quantities.
