Spring is still hanging around, reminding summer that it’s too early for it to bring hotness to our homes and cities, and that people still need time to detox from winter’s toxins and bring their bodies to balance and healthness. Each person has their own manners of taking care for themselves and building their strong healthness (health and wellness) life. Detoxifying your body from time to time, as an addition to a balanced and nutritional diet, is necessary. Except drinking fruit or fruit-infused drinks, you can clean your organism with homemade natural juices. These juices can satisfy your cravings for coffee and sweets – when your mind makes you think of these two vices, stop and think deeper.
