    Water not only cleans the system of toxins it helps maintain osmotic balance and pushes out impurities in the form of urine. It cleanses the system from the inside making it cleaner and fresher. The main toxin is blood urea nitrogen that is flushed out via the kidneys with the help of water. Lemon water, orange or lime juice helps in cutting down fat. Adding flavor to the water makes it easier to drink 8 cups a day.
