Reviews of various detox programs only confirm their effectiveness. But is it possible to go through this on your own, at home? Of course yes, we say! You just need to know the right recipes and take into account the rules of the detox diet.
Detox is the cleansing of the body from a variety of “garbage”.
Regardless of our desire, various “waste” accumulates in the body: undigested food, heavy metal salts, chemical residues that have entered with air, water, cosmetics, and medicines.
All these toxins are declared by our body as enemy No. 1 and “military operations” begin to expel them out.
However, the lifestyle and unfavorable ecological environment weakens the body, and it is no longer able to get rid of unnecessary garbage on its own, then cleansing programs — detox programs — come to the rescue to carry out a general cleaning of the body.

Yes, food austerity awaits you, but the result is worth it! You will get rid of excess weight, your skin will become radiant and wrinkles will disappear, you will receive such a boost of energy that you will move mountains in order to achieve what you want. If you suffer from digestive problems, get rid of them.
But this is not the way to give up the usual food from the bay. Detox requires special preparation!
Preparation: hardening, training
To start a detox program, you need to carefully prepare.
Did you like green salads? Have to love. Not just switch to their use, but to fall in love. For nothing imposed by force will not give a good result. Yes, and the body may not be able to cope, and this threatens not only to “jump” from the diet, but even to a health failure.
Preparation for a detox includes a gradual rejection of harmful, albeit familiar foods and the inclusion of recommended ones in the diet instead: replace white bread, and black bread too, with grains, peeled rice with brown, sweets with fruits.

They deliver smoothies and freshly squeezed juices directly to your home. Moreover, with each serving of detox food, you will also receive a schedule for when and how much you need to absorb all this. The duration of the program depends on you. We recommend doing a detox for five to seven days.
