The primary goal of a detox diet is to cleanse the body by flushing out toxins that can accumulate due to poor diet, pollution, or chemicals.

Detox diets typically emphasise whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbal teas, and water. Some versions may include fasting, juice cleanses, or eliminating sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.

These diets are often designed to be short-term, lasting anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Drinking plenty of water is key in any detox plan, as it helps flush out toxins through the kidneys and supports the digestive system.
