2. Apples
Apples are detoxifiers, packed with natural antioxidants. Rich in vitamin C and fibre, they deliver lots of benefits. Include an apple into your daily diet since you can get this fruit anywhere! No excuses.
3. Water
As water makes up 70% of our bodies, it is the most essential part of your internal cleansing routine. Stay hydrated by consuming the recommended eight glasses of water a day! Try drinking a glass of water before and after each meal. Not only does it help with digestion, it’ll also keep you from consuming more calories with that sense of fullness.
Psst. Here’s another tip for you: Drink a glass of water right after you get out of bed every morning to boost your metabolism.
