I know water is not exciting to drink and it is a challenge to just drink plain water day after day, so try adding in strawberries which are rich in Vitamin C and K, oranges, that have plentiful amounts vitamin C, B and fiber, lemons which are plentiful with antioxidants, and mint which aids in digestion and soothes inflammation.  All of these health benefits are exploding in just one glass.  Our bodies are constantly fighting off inflammation from the different foods we eat, this Strawberry Detox Water is a great way to reset our systems.
