What is detox?

Detox is allowing your body to clean out the toxins digested and absorbed into your organism. Whether you choose to do it regularly with some of these drinks, or you want to try it for a few days is up to you. The only thing you need to keep in mind is the fact that in the beginning you may feel fatigued, because your body is getting rid of all the toxins. That will pass, however, and your body is going to start feeling much better in just a few days after you have started your detox.
