Detoxification is a process whereby toxic substances are removed from the body.Naturally,this process goes on in our bodies.In fact,we get exposed to toxins everyday,it might be from the food that we eat,water that we dink ,the air we breathe in and other sources.
Detoxification has many health benefits,we get refreshed mentally and can focus more on our daily activities, there’s also a boost in the performance of the digestive system and we have overall wellness in our bodies.Thanks to the liver,which is the primary detoxifying organ. It is constantly eliminating chemicals from the body on daily basis.
There are several drinks that you can easily make to help detoxify the body. This is one the recipes for detoxification and the things you need are:

Lemon is vitamin C and it contains minerals like calcium,potasium and magnesium.It has a strong cleansing effect on your kidneys,liver and blood.It also prevents digestive problems like intestinal gas,bloating,constipation and heartburn.In short,it boosts the performance of the digestive system.
The juice in the orange stimulates the immune system and lowers the cholesterol level in the body.
The amino acid present in cucumber gets rid of the ammonia present in the liver and kidneys which is a by product of protein the body uses for energy.
