The Science of Detox:

For the most parts, our bodies are self-cleaning. Unlike your oven, you don’t need to click a setting to get your detox moving. As we eat and drink, our organs work in sync to eliminate toxins and purify the body. This detox process happens constantly, but at the same time, we are also taking in chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and other unhealthy pollutants. These toxins are not only dangerous but often cancerous. As we take in these toxins, they store in our tissues and cells.

This can cause many problems including:

Bloating, gas, and constipation
Headaches and body pains
Fatigue and sluggishness
Nausea and stomach issues (tummy fat)
Skin issues, bad breath, and bags under the eyes
Menstrual issues and certain chronic infections

What To Do with a Detox

Before you know it, your body is in detox overload! So how do we rid ourselves of the built up toxins in our bodies? A detox cleanse is often the answer. Though not all detox diets are the same, a properly regimented detox plan can offer a ton of unique benefits. First, it gives your organs time to rest. During the detox process, they won’t need to work overtime but instead can focus on filtering blood and improving circulation.

As your body is acclimating itself to a healthier diet, it will also be refueling itself. By the end of your detox cleanse, you’ll feel like a new woman (or man.)

Detox Diet Benefits

Feeling better isn’t the only benefit. Six major advantages make a detox diet worth it:

A detox cleanse can help you lose weight and take it off. As your body rids itself of toxins it also sheds extra pounds.
Detox diets help your organs function better. Your liver and digestive system as a whole will become stronger as you detox.
