rnWe have all known individuals who ate all the right foods, exercised relentlessly and had regular checkups and still got the much-dreaded Disease X. This happening has made us feel vulnerable.

Detox, short for detoxification, is the purification of the body by removing toxins. Our bodies naturally eliminate toxins through our skin, liver, kidney and lungs. However due to the massive amount of toxins in our air, water and food supply today our bodies are unable to "keep up" with the amount of toxins invading us daily. This leads to fatigue, weight gain and a whole host of health problems. Therefore it is necessary for us to take steps to detoxify our bodies in order to reclaim our health and vitality. If you are struggling to lose weight you are not alone.

How many times have you heard about your hormones being out of balance, yes it is quite common.

Even if the talk isn’t focused on sugar, it’s the subject on which we invariably spend the most time. They want to know which sweeteners are the safest and healthiest to use. Why?
