The detox juices are healthy because they provide many micronutrients and also on taking them without cooking are used most efficiently. They are normally made with highly diuretic vegetables and fruits - celery, cucumber, apple, pineapple, spinach … - and that is why they help combat fluid retention and make us feel less bloated.
It is true that the body itself is already capable of eliminating unwanted substances through various systems. For example, the kidneys are responsible for eliminating excess fluid in the urine, and the liver "cleanses" the blood of toxins. Normally they perform these tasks without problems, but if we overload them (due to a diet that is too rich in sodium or unbalanced, due to stress, lack of sleep or certain medications such as those recommended against hypertension or some anti-inflammatories), an accumulation of toxins.
For this reason, detox juices are highly recommended to boost the purifying function of our body. The dietitian-nutritionist Aitor Sánchez points out that we can take them regularly, but never as a replacement for important meals.
