Detox diets are often used to detoxify, or clean, the body and remove toxins. These can come in many forms, including pesticides, preservatives and chemicals found in household cleaners. Detoxing is also a great way to boost your immune system after an illness, especially if you are weakened by medication.

Juicing is a great way to clean the digestive system out. The process of juicing takes out all the tough, insoluble fibres, leaving behind only vitamins and minerals in liquid form. These can then be easily absorbed by our bodies. Juices also provide natural sugars, which help replenish the cells with energy very quickly. 

Try this lovely rosy coloured juice for an immune system boost. Red apples are rich in antioxidants and help digestion; red grapes contain resveratrol which can improve heart health while adding sweetness to this drink. Add lemon for added detox benefits.

A great cleansing juice to try is ginger, beetroot pineapple and pear. Ginger is also great for reducing inflammation.

If you don't like the earthy taste of beetroot, swap it for cucumber for a really refreshing detox juice. You can also swap the ginger for the slightly milder taste of turmeric. 

For best results, you should have no solid food for the length of time you are on the cleanse. If you want to see results in your body, I recommend doing a one-day or three-day cleanse. Do not opt for any longer than this as the body needs protein and fat which juices do not provide. There is no harm in having a one day juice cleanse once a week or a three day detox once a month.
