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.

- Promotes heart health
- Improves skin
