Detox, short for detoxification, is the body's natural, ongoing process of neutralizing or eliminating toxins from the body. Toxins(anything that can potentially harm body tissue) are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted via stools or urine.

Sources of toxins include those produced in the body during normal functions, such as the ammonia produced during the breakdown of protein, and chemicals such as pesticides, household cleaners, food additives, drugs, pollution, cigarette smoke, and heavy metals like lead that enter the body when we ingest or inhale them.

• Cut down on chemicals ingested (e.g. by the use of organic food).
• Emphasizes foods that provide the vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants that the body needs for detoxification.
• Includes foods, such as high fibre foods and water, that draw out and eliminate toxins by increasing the frequency of bowel movements and urination.
• Calculation of what exact intake should be in grams per day according to your activity, current fitness and goals
