Common Detox Options
There are different forms of detox diets, which can be short-term, lasting only several days, or last a few weeks. The drinks and foods included can vary greatly as well. Despite these differences, most detox diets tend to involve at least one of the following factors:
– Fasting in a few days
– Consuming fresh veggie and fruit juices, tea, water, or smoothies
– Taking herbs or supplements
– Avoiding foods containing allergens, contaminants, or heavy metals
– Using enemas, colon cleanses, or laxatives
– Avoiding refined sugar, tobacco products, coffee, and alcoholic beverages
– Working out regularly
Depending on your option, these factors can vary in terms of duration and intensity. [4]
