Why is it a perfect detox juice?
So almost every fresh juice you have is going to give your body a detox. This is because you are supplying your body with the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are coming from the fruits and vegetables without the need to break it down to digest it to use it. Your giving your digestive system a break, which allows the juice to flush out toxins in your body easier and quicker, leaving you feeling 'lighter' and more energised. This type of juice is especially great for after you've had a big night out, or eaten too much, or had a lot of sugar as the vegetables help to detoxify those chemicals from your body quickly.
