DETOX FOR GOOD HEALTH

If you often feel tired, sluggish, lack energy, drive and feel stressed out, your system may likely be
clogged up and needs cleansing. This is where a detox comes in.

A detoxification will help remove toxins and other impurities from your body, boost energy, support
digestion, cleanse the liver and promote healthy skin. Your overall sense of wellbeing will increase,
giving you a more positive outlook on life.

Indeed, performing regular body cleanses and detoxes are essential for the overall health of the body
and mind according to health experts.

As a Lagos based nutritionist, Agnes Okoye noted: “A regular detox is highly recommended to rid the
body of toxins that might have accumulated through food, lifestyle and even the environment.

Through detox, you clear your system of these toxic substances that can become harmful to the body
and cause diseases. One way to detox the body is to embark on a cleansing diet, by taking foods and
drinks that will cleanse the body and enhance the body’s system.” 

Cucumber Mint Detox Drink 

Mint is traditionally regarded as the best ingredients for soothing an upset stomach. Mint also improves
the flow of bile through the stomach speeding the digestion process. Coupled with antioxidant rich
cucumber and lemon, this cool drink is as much a relief from the bustling heat as from the toxic
overload.

Detox drink: Cucumber and mint are known as healthy ingredients which help the body detox.
