We often feel heavy, bloated, indigested and low on energy, therefore it is important to cleanse our system and treat it with some alkaline food. I detox on one a week and it allows me to regain my energy along with a big boost to my system. My diet is very simple to follow and it also supports you in the weight loss process. Our body is quite capable to natural detox, however, we must support and improve that function by giving our digestive system a break and by nourshing it with food rich in antioxidants.
