§ Increase your Water Intake. Your body basal function is driven by water, hence you can see it as the most valuable tool for detoxifying your body; we are advised to consume a minimum of 3-5 liters of water daily to aid its detoxifying function. Water first in the morning and last at night.
§ Decide to Eat Rightly. Choose to eat freshly cooked meals with organic fruits and vegetables over-processed, fast food, alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats.

Consult your doctor before using any health detox packs.
