DIY Detox Smoothie that Can Help You Lose Weight

Are you struggling to reach your optimal and healthy body weight?

Does each subsequent workout session feel like it’s gradually having less of an impact than you hoped?

Before you fall into temptation: do not use dietary pills because their risks far outweigh the reward of losing a couple of pounds momentarily.

These risks include:

– A chance to develop a crippling addiction to these pills.

– Increased levels of anxiety.

– Severe headaches.

– Increased chance of developing cardiovascular illnesses.

– Increased chances of having a stroke.

– Lung complications.

– Extreme stress on your kidneys.

And if you think starving is also an option, think again! Chronic starvation can only increase your chances of developing type 2 diabetes.

If this all looks a bit grim, don’t be disheartened! Keep building up the momentum of a healthy exercise routine, it’s a vital part of living a healthy holistic life.

However, you might need to ask yourself what have you been eating or drinking between your workout sessions.

In case you didn’t know, exercising regularly is simply not guaranteed to help you lose all the weight you need or want to shed.

Exercise is only half of the equation. That old adage of “you are what you eat” is absolutely true.

But where can you start?

I’d recommend adding recipes that target the organ system you feel needs more love and help. Since you’re currently focused on losing weight, I’ll show you a recipe that will help your kidneys.

Did you know your kidneys have the never-ending task to detoxify two hundred liters of your blood a day until you die?

As that sinks in, I remind you that most experts recommend that you drink at least two liters of water throughout your day to keep your kidneys healthy and happy.

Unfortunately for some us, the prospect of being forced to drink this amount of water for your health is not an easy glass to swallow.

However, you can find a natural alternative to keep you hydrated and happy. And no, it’s not that toxic compound known as Gatorade.

Homemade Detox Smoothie

Here’s what you’ll need:

– One peeled organic kiwi.

– Half a cup of almonds.

– One organic banana.

– One peeled organic lime.

– Half a tablespoon of chopped parsley.

– One cup of water.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Simply place all the ingredients in your blender and make sure it’s all thoroughly mixed. If you still find your smoothie to be too thick, simply add a bit more water.

Why is it amazing?

Kiwis almost seem like they were designed to help you lose weight, their high content of vitamin C helps you to burn excess fat at an amazing rate.

Remember how your kidneys are intricately bound to your blood’s health? Bananas and their high potassium help your overall blood pressure and help lower your sodium levels, thus making reducing the strain on your kidneys.

Remember, you need to combine exercise with healthy recipes like this detox smoothie to maximize your weight loss while keep your body healthy and happy.
