In the world we live today, we are always bombarded with toxins from all areas of our lives.
We are exposed to toxins from pollutions from car exhaust fumes, generator exhaust fumes, industrial machines, toxic metals, pesticides we use at home, chemicals from processed foods we eat, poisoned air in some environment etc.
Overtime, this can slowly build up and these toxins stores up in the cells of our body and lock up fatty tissues making weight loss a problem.
And that is why most weight loss program you come about follows a detoxification process before the actual weight loss process begins.
In fact, there are now endless variety of products in the market promising to help us detoxify our system. Some of them are juices, others are just capsules, portions etc.
