According to experts, detoxification is a ‘spring cleaning’ process that arouses the body from its state of depression and encourages a more active and energetic lifestyle.
Your stomach, liver, bowel and kidneys all work hard on a daily basis to keep your body free of toxins. Several detoxifying drinks and procedures can be of great help in improving their regular detoxifying function.
Detoxifying smoothies, in particular, are the best way to detox and cleanse your body. They are easy to make, delicious, versatile and a nutritional punch for your body! Plus, they help you shed extra pounds!
Detoxification and weight loss go hand in hand. When detoxifying, you are likely to lose some weight as it encourages the removal of toxins from the body. Plus, it facilitates better absorption of nutrients from the food you eat.
