Detox: 3 days to detoxify and get back in shape

• to the disorders of the hive, not always and only constipation, but many times an alternation between constipation and diarrhea;


• the appearance of unexpected spots on the skin ;


• persistent difficulty concentrating, tiredness and exhaustion;


• bad breath and changes in the smell of sweat and urine.

In these conditions, in fact, the liver, kidneys, intestines, but also the skin and lungs work a lot, removing energy from the nervous system, the immune system but also the muscle and the gastrointestinal system.

Such a debilitated organism can be easy prey to bacteria and viruses, and easily get sick.

• pharmacological therapies that are protracted for a long time, or are particularly aggressive;


• periods of severe work or psychological stress;


• season changes.

In the preventive phase, the detox diet could perform its maximum effectiveness, restoring the balance in a slowed and clumsy system.
