Detox, in simply terms, is getting rid of the toxins that are in our bodies. There are different body organs that are used for this purpose and the main ones are the lymph glands, the kidneys, the colon, the lungs, the liver, the skin and the blood. The toxins in our bodies cause the body to be susceptible to illnesses and allergies among other things.

Some of the benefits of detox are:

• A body free of toxins will have a stronger immune system.

• Because detox cleanses the body off toxins, detox can add years to your life.
