We work day in and day out every day to make our lives easy. In the process, we often get stressed, tired and sometimes sick. To get rid of this tension we take a break from the routine and either rest at home or leave for a vacation to detox our mind and soul.

Similarly, we need to detox our bodies from the toxins that we have put in it because of our unhealthy diet. Just like stress makes us inefficient in our everyday task, these toxins too reduce the efficiency of the organs, thereby, gradually making us unhealthy and prone to diseases.
