3 HEALTHY DETOX DRINKS

Detox drinks are said to have natural health benefits. As the name suggests, detoxing aims to help the body rid itself of toxins. The human body has many natural pathways to allow detoxification through liver, sweat, urine, faeces and more. But fast urbanization and exposure to pollutants, heavy metals, preservatives and pesticides has taken the average toxin consumption by human beings to an all-time high.

These toxins get stored in tissues and cells of our bodies and manifest in harmful metabolical, reproductive and mental health effects. By detoxing your body you help the vital organs cleanse themselves of the toxins, and enable the liver to function appropriately in excreting them.

Detox drinks are said to be good for skin, digestion and weight loss. Here are 3 simple detox drinks from @NutritionGuide.
