Flavored waters are a pleasant way to hydrate and help detoxify the body. However, "our" nutritionist suggests a variant based on apple and cinnamon, also excellent for those who want to improve their digestion and have a greater antioxidant effect.

With the many varieties of fruit and vegetables you can make excellent flavored waters (detox water). These drinks, which are prepared in a very simple and fast way, exploit the beneficial properties of the active ingredients contained in fruit and vegetables and can therefore have, depending on the version being prepared, different effects: refreshing, draining, detoxifying, etc.

For those who want to promote digestion or have an antioxidant effect, the nutritionist Flavio Pettirossi recommends water flavored with cinnamon and apple.

How to prepare it

Pour cold water (usually 1 liter) into a jug and add 1 cinnamon stick and 1 or 2 apples.
To better release the nutrients present in the apple, it is best to mash it lightly before immersing it in water.
Put the water in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours (it can also be left for longer depending on the intensity of the taste we want to obtain).
Drink the water directly while also consuming the apple, or filter the drink first.
