We’re surrounded by toxins which are everywhere around us. The poor quality of life and the unhealthy diet we all lead is surely taking a tool on our health and allowing toxins to accumulate in our body. Once they do, they can do a lot of damage from the inside and easily ruin our health. This is why our body needs a nice cleanse every now and then.
The main signs of accumulated toxins in our body are insomnia, dark circles under the eyes, brittle hair and nails, fluid retention and depression. Once you notice these symptoms, it’s time to turn on the alarm. Our body is a complex machine that can get broken if not maintained, which means we must keep it in perfect shape.
