Get your free Recipes for Detox Diet plus general adice on how to detox your body .
Detox drink recipes seem to be in great demand at the moment as detoxifying the body seems to be the “in thing” to do. The process of detoxification of the body is though not a new process and has been part of some cultures for thousands of years. In the western world it is a fact that we are filling our bodies with toxins on a daily basis. Polution, junk foods, processed foods plus the general way we live all add toxins to our bodies each day.
It is a fact that those who live in American are eating more processed and junk foods than ever before. Americans are also eating less fruit and vegtables than ever before. Knowing these facts it does not take a genius to work out that there is a major problem with many of our diets.
Many associate the process of detoxification with drinking buckets full of water and then throwing this back up and so basically washing out the body. This is an extreme to say the least and a detox diet plan can be simply consuming just healthy foods and drinks for a short period of time whilst abstaining from junks foods, alcohol and caffeine.
Personally I think that restricting your drinks to water only is a major mistake whilst you are detoxifying as you are missing out on the natural goodness of fruit in juices. For me juices play a major part in my detox diet plan and this is a view that is also shared by many.
Let me give you a couple of detox drink recipes so you can make your own mind up. You will need a juicer to make the drinks but buying a juicer could turn into one of the best investments of your life.

60ml (2 fl oz) of carrot juice
