Water is the best detoxifier, and it covers a lot of sins, including overdrinking, which too many aging women do these days.

Alkaline water, which has ph greater than 8.5, has been scientifically proven to help decrease inflammation, which is caused by an acid internal environment.
Avoid acid-filled foods like tomatoes, oranges, and limes.
Meanwhile, onion, garlic, and highly spiced foods will decrease acidity — alkalinizing our bodies will decrease inflammation and also keep us thin.
