This is not the first time Pooja Malhotra informed about a kind of drink through her Instagram video. Previously, she threw some light on detox water connecting it with weight loss. Many people usually have detox waters after binging on heavy food for a while.

By the common notion, infused waters help you detox and get rid of the accumulated toxins in the body. But, if you believe detox waters help you lose weight, then Pooja gave a reality check.

She said that detox waters are no magic potions that are going to flush out your excess calories. She further stressed that “detox” was a loosely used term that literally meant the removal of toxins, which is ultimately the full-time job of your liver and kidneys. Infused waters help you boost metabolism, stay hydrated and boost digestion.
