How to Properly Detox

Everyday, our bodies are subjected to pollution, food toxins and excess fats or sugars. Detox is an ideal way to rid the body of toxin buildup, as well as promote health and well-being, increase energy and alertness and increase clarity of the skin. There are many detox diets to choose from but the healthiest is a two to three day program where nothing is consumed but natural, fresh fruit and vegetable juice and water. The juices give nourishment to the body while the detox works to release unhealthy toxins from the body internally and externally.
