Discover the detox drinks of LUX* Le Morne

After eating copiously during the holidays, it’s now time for some detox to cleanse your digestive system, quickly eliminate toxins and reboot the body. Vincent Mong Wai Leung, the Wellness Concierge of LUX* Le Morne, has concocted a detox drink for hotel guests and shares with all his wellbeing elixir.

The ‘Tropical Green’ has been concocted exclusively for LUX* Le Morne customers, who care about their well-being. “We all tend to indulge in rich, fat dishes during the holidays. We certainly please our palate, but some of these excesses hurt the stomach. It is therefore important to relieve our body after the festivities. In addition to our clientele, we wanted to share the recipe of this draining drink with all Mauritians so that they can start the new year off right,” said Ornella Arokeum, Cluster PR Manager at LUX* Le Morne.

To realise this morning detox juice ‘Tropical Green’, explains the Wellness Concierge of LUX* Le Morne, you need: a quarter of pineapple, half of a green cucumber, half a lemon, 10 to 20 mint leaves, two teaspoons of honey and half a glass of water. “Blend in the mixer and then strain to keep only the juice. Drink immediately at room temperature and on an empty stomach for maximum benefits. For those who have a juice extractor, it is not necessary to add water. You can also increase the amount of cucumber to reduce the acidity of your juice,” advises Vincent Mong Wai Leung.

Pineapple is one of the best fruits whose diuretic properties stimulate weight loss. Composed of antioxidants, it is a safe ally to eliminate toxins. Cucumber is also rich in antioxidants and is very low in calories. It helps to rebalance the acidity of the stomach and helps the kidneys get rid of uric acid. It is an effective diuretic that also prevents water retention. Lemon is known as the “champion of detox.” Known for its fat-burning and depurative properties, this citrus purifies the liver and helps to lose weight, among other multiple benefits.
