Detox is a natural process of cleaning the body overloaded with toxins through food, drugs and alcohol. Toxins lead to the sluggishness of these organs owing to overwork. So to flush out the toxins, the body needs external help. There are several types of detoxifications like Alcohol Detoxification, Drug Detoxification and Dialysis, performed on patients suffering from failed kidneys. It is claimed that detoxification helps in eliminating toxins through the liver, kidneys and skin, reducing inflammation, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. So here we are with the foods to detox our body at home.
