Toxins in the body accumulate over time. When the body becomes overwhelmed with toxins and cannot eliminate them it stores them so that they do not affect the rest of the body. The toxins are stored in places like joints, resulting in arthritis, or in the stomach, resulting in cancer. Toxins make the body sluggish and tired. Toxins can cause arthritis, cancer, chronic fatigue and skin ailments among others.
The best way to detoxify the body is to drink juiced vegetables (preferably organic). Vegan detox juices fill the body with enzymes, vitamins and minerals. The delicious vegetable juices bathe the body with nutrients and help the body to release acids and toxins that produce disease.
