With little time in our busy lives, it’s nice to know there are a few simple things you can do every day that can make a big difference to how your body functions, and in turn – make you look and feel healthier.

Yes, its detox tea. The trend of detoxing is progressively taking the fitness realm by storm. Drinking detox teas have become a popular practice for people who wish to cleanse their body with an overload of toxins.

How does Detoxification work?

It typically involves following a specific diet or using special products that claim to rid your body of toxins, hence improving health and fostering weight loss.

Also, it means removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also removes toxins through the intestines, lungs, kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin.

Drinking detox tea is in vogue than ever among people wishing to detoxify their bodies. Even celebrities and influencers recommend it, citing its multiple health benefits. Some people are even guilty of gulping two-three cups of tea in a day, considering its perks.

Detoxing your body with tea will always consist of two parts, the morning being the refresh and the evening being the colon cleanse. The refresh in the morning should focus on replacing the lost vitamins and electrolytes from the evening colon cleanse tea, and failing to do so will inhibit the full potential of a tea detox. It should contain a blend of ingredients that have high levels of anti-oxidants, vitamins, and general various other goodies. You can also add other complementary ingredients such as: Acai Berry, honey, mulberries, ginger powder, or lemon juice.
