SAFELY DETOX YOUR BODY WITHOUT CLEANSES

Cleanses can be a powerful way to detox your body, lose weight, and feel healthier. However, it’s not necessary to do the typical cleanses of liquid-only diets or green shakes to achieve results. 

Typical cleanses drastically reduce calories and can leave you hungry. They can also lower your blood sugar and make you feel dizzy, tired, and irritated. An all-liquid diet or green shakes can leave you without enough protein or fat. They may also lack essential vitamins or minerals. 

Even if they do detox your body, it’s not easy for you to stick to cleanses while you work or take care of a family.
