There are several detoxifying organs in your body, such as your liver, colon, kidneys, etc. Detoxification is done for many reasons, such as clearer skin, fat loss, or reduced bloating. Still, there’s no scientific evidence that we need to detox.
You want to make sure that you help your body rid itself of anything wrong by helping it process it. The body should be working efficiently, not overworking. You want to be well hydrated with your metabolism firing. Consuming acidic foods and drinks causes inflammation, so you must maintain an alkaline state to combat it.

Tips for making your detox drinks at home:
- As mentioned before, you want to go for a variety of spices and fruits and vegetables.
- Don't buy pre-made drinks from the supermarket. Instead, make them yourself from fresh ingredients; otherwise, it's no different than fast food and often loaded with sugar and chemicals that you don't need in your body.
- Add water, not too much if your drink is too thick, or you can add a few ice cubes to thin it out.
- You can also try making all-natural or homemade smoothies or juices at home with fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding sugar (which sweetens up your taste buds). A yummy frozen fruit popsicle would be great after exercise as an energy booster.
