Benefits of Detoxing & Detox Smoothies
Detox is a period in which one abstains from toxic and unhealthy food, drinks, and other substances.
Here are some reasons to detox-Dr. Mark Hyman
- You feel like crap. You wake up feeling less than vital, vibrant, and alive.
- You can’t lose weight and keep it off.
- You have no control over your sugar and carb cravings.
- You have never detoxed. Think of a detox as a tune-up.
