MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day: Activated charcoal has many health benefits including: preventing hangovers, whitening teeth, anti-aging, and removing toxins from the body. It works by bonding to toxins which get carried out of the body through elimination. (There is a much more scientific explanation of how this works in the link above.)
*Please note that I am not a doctor so do your homework before taking activated charcoal for yourself! It can interfere with some medications.
Ingredients:
-
- juice of one lemon
- 1-2 capsules activated charcoal
- stevia or maple syrup
- water
- ice
Instructions:
-
- Cut lemon in half and squeeze it with a juicer releasing the juice. Make sure to pick out any seeds that may sneak in. Add lemon juice to a 16 ounce glass.
- Break open 1-2 activated charcoal capsules (check dosage on your bottle or container), add to the lemon juice, and stir to combine.
- Fill glass to the top with ice and add water. Stir in sweetener to taste. I used 5 drops of stevia. (I like it tart!)
- Garnish with a slice of lemon. Drink and enjoy!
Notes:
-
- **It is important to drink enough water when taking activated charcoal. Some of you may ask ‘Why not just take the capsule instead of mixing it in a drink?’. Do this simply so you know that you are consuming enough water to circulate the charcoal well enough in my system. Plus, since activated charcoal has no flavor, the lemonade is delicious!! 🙂
