My aunt Nancy used to call detox drinks “fancy pond water.” She’d roll her eyes every time I brought a pitcher to family dinners. Then one day, she tried my cucumber-mint version because she was out of soda. She ended up drinking the whole thing. Now she sends me pictures of her own concoctions. Moral of the story? You don’t have to be a wellness guru to feel the benefits. Sometimes, you just need to take that first sip.
So go ahead. Raid your fridge. Slice that lemon. Give your body a little break. You’ve earned it—and it tastes a lot better than you think.
