Glass Infuser Water Bottles are a Small but Important Tool for Your Detox Journey

Did you know that the average person is exposed to 700,000 toxins daily? Toxins surround us everywhere, from pollution to everyday household and personal care products. Toxins even hide in our food, water, and homes. Avoiding and eliminating toxins is essential for maintaining your health. Drinking water is vital for detoxification, and a glass infuser water bottle is a great way to do it.

 

You may think you’re staying healthy, but are you? Tap water contains hundreds of contaminants, and if you think you’re safe drinking bottled water, think again. Bottled water potentially contains parasites and other contaminants. With a worldwide average of over 481 billion plastic bottles per year, bottled water contributes to pollution and excessive waste. 

 

People are increasingly turning to recyclable and healthier alternatives, such as glass infuser water bottles.

 

Breaking Down Toxins

Your body is designed to break down toxins and remove them naturally. The detoxification system includes your kidneys, lungs, lymphatic system, skin, and digestive tract. 

 

Keeping your natural detoxification process healthy involves small, simple changes, such as

  • Drinking more water
  • Avoiding processed or sugary foods
  • Getting quality sleep
  • Avoiding or reducing alcohol

 

How Does Drinking Water Break Down Toxins?

Your liver and kidneys are key players in your body’s natural detoxification system. Drinking water keeps these vital organs functioning so they can break down and remove toxins from your body. Moreover, water provides lubrication that keeps the GI system working so you can evacuate toxins through your bowels.

 

Avoid Tap Water

Even if your tap water tastes fine, it contains chemicals and germs. These toxins include pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals, and bacteria that are present even after the water treatment process is complete.

 

To avoid the common contaminants and toxins in tap water, use distilled or spring water in your water bottles.

 

Why a Glass Infuser Bottle is a Great Way to Naturally Detoxify

Infused water is a healthy alternative to plain water. Infused water tastes better, which encourages you to drink more.

 

Some fruits, vegetables, and herbs you use in your glass infuser bottle encourage detoxification, including

  • Kale
  • Ginger
  • Watercress
  • Watermelon
  • Cinnamon
  • Bananas
  • Guava
  • Apples
  • Berries
  • Tomatoes

 

Adding these beneficial foods to your water is a small change that significantly impacts your health and boosts your body’s detoxification process.

 

Additional Benefits of Infused Water

Along with its detoxification properties, infused water is a great way to add vitamins and other nutrients to your diet. You’ll find that infused water

  • Promotes heart health
  • Improves skin
  • Adds very few calories to your diet
  • Beats sugar cravings
  • Boosts your mood
  • Increases energy levels

 

You’ll find that infusing your water is less expensive than purchasing flavored water, and it’s easy to customize your water to your taste.

 

How to Use a Glass Infuser Water Bottle

Using an infuser water bottle is easy:

  1. Remove the lid
  2. Remove the infuser
  3. Add your desired fruits, vegetables, or herbs to the infuser
  4. Reinsert the infuser
  5. Add water
  6. Replace the lid

 

Tips for Perfectly Infused Water

While there is no right or wrong way to enjoy your infused water, here are a few tips and tricks to get the most benefits and best-tasting results from your Five Journeys Glass Infuser Bottle:

  • Cut your fruits and veggies into bite-sized pieces
  • When adding herbs, tear the leaves apart for maximum taste
  • Remove rinds from citrus fruits to reduce bitterness
  • The longer your water infuses, the stronger it tastes
  • Drink the mixed water the same day you make it
  • Refrigerate the infused water to keep it refreshing

 

What Can I Put in a Glass Bottle Infuser?

You can put fruits, herbs, or vegetables into your infuser. Your only limit is your imagination. 

 

Consider using the following:

  • Berries
  • Cherries
  • Ginger
  • Melon
  • Apples
  • Rosemary
  • Pears
  • Pineapple
  • Citrus fruits
  • Coconut
  • Kiwi
  • Guava
  • Cinnamon
  • Basil
  • Tomatoes
  • Mint

 

There are limitless ways to combine your ingredients, each with unique health benefits. Here are some popular combinations to try:

  • Grapefruit and rosemary
  • Lemon and lime
  • Cucumber and mint
  • Orange and basil
  • Raspberry and mint
  • Orange and blueberry
  • Pineapple and coconut
  • Watermelon and basil
  • Strawberry, lime, and kiwi
