  2. Prevents diseases that caused by exposure to too much toxins.
    The toxins that we may have in our body are responsible for chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological diseases, heart disease, and others. Our body has it’s own way of detoxifying our body. Our lungs, liver, colon, kidneys and skin helps in removing the toxins through our breath, bile, urination, elimination and pores. But, remember that if the toxin is too much too handle for these organs, it may give up which will result to many diseases.

Eating foods that detoxifies our body like garlic, lemon, broccoli sprouts, mung beans and raw vegetables. You can also try raw/alkaline diet—consuming of uncooked fruits and vegetables together with raw nuts, seeds, and sprouts and juicing—drinking organic and fresh juices from fruits and vegetables.
  5. Drink more Water
    Water is an essential tool in detoxifying our body. It helps your body to produce saliva and helps in perspiration which helps to get rid of the toxins.​ “Water is tasteless”, “Drinking water is boring”​ — as some may say.
