In today’s hectic lifestyle, our bodies are exposed to a lot of toxins through air pollution, food and water. Use of preservatives in packaged food, presence of pesticides in vegetables all lead to toxins depositing in our body. Some of the harmful effects of this toxicity are indigestion, headache, tiredness, skin problems, poor concentration, etc. It is important to go on a detox diet in order to flush the toxins out of our system. Our expert nutritionist Neha Chandna gives us a sample detox diet that we can follow. Also Read - Beware! Excessive thirst could be a signal of serious health problem
