Jeera-Pudina Water: One Prep, 3 Ways to Detox  By Dietitian Sheela Seharawat, Founder & Mentor of Diet Clinic

“The first step to detoxifying the body is to detoxify the mind. Begin your day with intention, and your body will follow.”

In the hustle of everyday life, our bodies accumulate toxins from processed foods, stress, pollution, and irregular eating habits. But what if you could kickstart your day with just one simple preparation that helps cleanse, energize, and refresh? Enter the humble Jeera-Pudina Water – a traditional remedy with modern relevance!

Jeera (cumin) is packed with antioxidants and aids digestion, while pudina (mint) is a cooling herb known for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties. When these two ingredients come together, they create a powerhouse drink that flushes out toxins, boosts metabolism, and supports gut health.
Here are three powerful ways to use Jeera-Pudina Water for different detox goals:

1. Morning Metabolism Booster (Empty Stomach)
Benefits: Stimulates digestion, jumpstarts metabolism, prevents bloating. How: Drink warm Jeera-Pudina water first thing in the morning.

2. Midday Cleanser (Before Lunch)
Benefits: Prepares digestive tract, reduces acidity, curbs cravings. How: Sip half a glass 15–20 minutes before lunch.

3. Evening Bloat Reliever (After Meals)
Benefits: Soothes the gut, prevents gas, supports liver function. How: Consume it cooled or at room temperature after your evening meal.
