You feel like your body needs a cleanse? Spring is just around the corner and there’s no better time than now to give your body a fresh start! Clear out all of the toxins and fill your body with fresh nutrients that will help you lose weight, gain energy and feel healthier everyday. Not sure what beverages boast the most benefits? Don’t worry, we’ve taken the time to compile this list to help. Below, you will find 10 effective drinks that will detoxify your body and leave you feeling fresh and healthy.

1. Fresh Pineapple Juice The natural enzymes found in pineapples provide you with many health benefits. Bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory and digestive enzyme, reduces inflammation (i.e., digestive inflammation and sinusitis) and quickens the healing of abrasions and bruises, reports studies from the Langone Medical Center at New York University by breaking down proteins and flushing out toxins from the intestinal tract. Pineapple juice also gives you a boost of Vitamins C (one serving contains 30-percent of your daily required intake) and works as an antioxidant to keep your immunity.

2. Peppermint Tea Peppermint tea is known for its calming effect. Not only does it strengthen the nerves but it also tastes pretty darn great. In addition to providing a calming and lip-snaking brew, peppermint tea has also long been used as a disgestive aid, helping combat indigestion, nausea, and gas. Oh, and did we mention it also restores balance of the colon and promotes healing? A cup of this tea once a day will help make your body a lean, mean, digestive machine.

3. Raw Cabbage Juice Sure, it doesn’t sound the most enticing but this beverage is an excellent source of Vitamin C and contains considerable amounts of amino acids (which boast anti-inflammatory benefits). In fact, juice containing cabbage was also found to help lessen cholesterol, according to a Japanese study, published by the National Institutes of Health, which monitored the cholesterol levels of 77 adults diagnosed with slight to moderately elevated cholesterol.

4. Apple Juice Fresh, raw apple juice is a delicious way to replenish your body with the nutrients it needs to feel healthy. This particular raw-style juice is rich in so many nutrients (basically you’re getting exactly what’s in a fresh apple), and provides you with an easy way of consuming the nutrients like quercetin, a natural antioxidant that helps flush out the liver and kidneys by eliminating waste and toxins. This is why if you’ve had a long weekend of too much alcohol or rich food intake, your body may be in dire need, and benefit greatly, from a raw glass of apple juice.

5.Lemon Water This is the easiest (not to mention cost-effective) detox beverage available. Lemons are considered a super fruit because of their many health benefits. These benefits include (but are not limited to) cleansing the blood stream, neutralizing the system and detoxifying your body. Drinking a glass of lemon water when you wake up and before you go to bed will give your body the boost it needs to feel healthy again. Really, water with a squeeze of lemon juice can be used for all manner of cleansing (much like it can for cleaning) every bodily aspect–from boosting your immune system!

6. Aloe Vera Juice You’ve probably read about the health benefits of aloe vera, but did you know it comes in juice form as well? This pulpy, sweet juice may be a little hard to swallow at first (you’ll want the unsweetened variety because often store-bought bottles contain added sugars), but the health benefits you’ll receive from just one glass make it totally worth it. You’re likely aware that aloe vera is a powerful topical agent for the treatment of sunburn, abrasions, surface burns, and even psoriasis.

7. Ginger Tea Ginger tea, much like peppermint tea, calms and soothes the body and mind. It also facilitates detoxing via perspiration while soothing stomach irritation. One cup of this comforting brew every night will help you de-stress from a long day and keep your body clean and healthy. The natural pain reliever has also been sipped to treat back, stomach, chest, and arthritic pain.

8.Fresh Papaya Juice Similar to pineapple juice, papaya juice aids in digestion. It also boosts your intake of essential vitamins and flushes out toxins from your body. If you’ve grown tired of pineapple juice (or are simply looking to mix things up) try sipping back a glass of this tropical juice a couple times a week. Those who live in the tropics (including South Asia and Brazil) have long used papaya juice for its rich vitamin and mineral content. Just be sure you’re buying papaya juice made from the whole fruit rather than papaya nectar, which often contains added sweeteners.

9.Carrot Juice A glass of fresh carrot juice might not sound like the most appetizing beverage but its countless health benefits have made this one of the most popular detox drinks. This drink is incredibly high in Vitamin A, antioxidants, and minerals (i.e., iron) and is known to treat intestinal parasites, constipation and digestive problems. Really, juicing fresh carrots is a great way to quickly sip all the nutrients in raw carrots. It doesn’t get any better than that.

10. Beet Juice Similar to carrot juice and aloe vera juice, beet juice doesn’t exactly scream delicious. However, the vibrant red vegetable provides a super nutrient-rich option for fresh juice all year round! Beet juice is considered a health-boosting super food, which means that drinking this detoxifying beverage a few times a week will help to heal your liver, balance cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
