The body needs detoxification to get rid of these toxins regularly, and strictly speaking, our kidneys can only do as much as they can.

In order for our body to be detoxified, we need to reduce the intake of these toxins so that the kidneys are able to cleanse them faster. The most regular way is to abstain from food for a few days (fasting) as if you are a sick person, so that the body can purge the toxins faster. However, we all know that fasting is not easy because we are used to a lifestyle of eating good food.

You may want to give the water detox diet a go. This involves the consumption of stuff that contains a lot of water and little energy. Yes, you may guess that fruits can also act as a detoxification agent.

Fruits help to provide your body with nutrients and water, which are essential daily. Furthermore, they contain fibre that helps to soothe your hunger while not contributing to energy intake. This helps to reduce toxin intake, and your body will be able to cleanse the remaining toxins quickly.

A point of advice here is that if you are on a water detox diet, do not try to over strain your body through highly rigorous activities. The body is not taking in much energy, so if you go and do some powerful sports, your body may end up feeling weak. If you really want to play such sports, then you'll need to eat a bit to provide the carbohydrates for the energy. Do not be mistaken that by abstaining from food and exercising strenuously, the faster you can lose weight. This would harm the body in the long run.
Fruit is full of 'energy', its composed of simple carbohydrates, i.e. fructose..

I believe in detoxing by drinking natural green tea and only sticking to water rather than other drinks, and staying with natural foods that aren't processed, but like restricting yourself from proper food in order to cleanse your body really isn't the way to go.

If you would like to show me published medical records to back your claims, please do so, as I'm interested to see how this so called detoxing diet works...
