Raspberry Detox and Anti-Bloat Tea

  January 16, 2015  |    Blog>Recipes

If you’re trying to get fit, while flushing out bloat and some of the damaging particles from unhealthy overindulgences, this tea is your ticket!

Hot Raspberry Tea

This tea is absolutely delicious, plus it will help to quickly flush bloat and restore normal hydration. That’s right, thanks to the raspberries, lemons and orange—and water—this drink not only hydrates you, it also flushes your system while the potassium helps to counteract excess sodium—and the bloat that comes with it.

Plus, every ingredient added to the water to make the tea is a phytonutrient superstar—the raspberries, lemons, orange, cinnamon and cloves all fight damage and inflammation created by toxins that enter the body (including those from a few too many unhealthy overindulgences—food, alcohol, stress, pollution).

More reasons to sip?

  • The raspberries: Research suggests they actually may assist in weight loss (yahoo!) because they contain the phytochemical C3G that may increase production of both adiponectin (which enhances fat metabolism) and leptin (which suppresses appetite). Oh yeah!
  • The cinnamon has an added bonus of helping to regulate blood sugar.

Enjoy!
