Detoxification basically means cleaning the blood. This is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren’t properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

Detoxification, when done right, can provide many health benefits, including:

1. Resting the organs through fasting;
2. Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body;
3. Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin;
4. Improving circulation of the blood; and
5. Refueling the body with healthy nutrients.

There are many ways that you can detoxify, I prefer having healthy drinks. Here are 2 of my favorite recipes that I follow when I detox my body.

1. 1. Lemon Detox Drink

This is an easy recipe. All you need is lemon and water in a glass (this can either be cold or warm), just squeeze a lemon and drink every day before you consume anything and before you go to bed.

This lemon detox drink can make your skin beautiful and more elastic, while clearing acne.

2. Kale Detox Drink

This kale drink is good for you if you like green vegetables. It comes with vitamins A, C, B6 and K, along with copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, and other minerals. For this simple recipe, all you need is the following ingredients:

A handful of kale leaves

Half an apple

One cup of coconut water

Once the ingredients are ready, simply remove the hard ribs found on the leaves of kale. Then, add the leaves to your blender along with the apple and coconut water. As with other drinks, all you need to do is blend the ingredients together until they are completely mixed. Drink cold or consume right away.
