There is a constant brouhaha over detoxing. Millenials do not just want to live life to the fullest but responsibly too. They are cool giving up drinking or fast food. Sashaying with green shakes in hand entering a gym, the younger lot is in sharp contrast with the earlier generation that indulged in indoor smoking and no holds barred approach when it came to red meat. Thanks to more awareness and better acceptance, the future looks declutterd and healthy. We spoke to detox specialists, who have curated the best ideas to get the best of cleansing plans.

Keep your liver stress free Our liver and kidneys are at work, ridding our body off harmful toxins every minute. The liver works in two steps: breaking down or neutralising the elements, followed by washing out toxins using detergent, bile.

Detoxification is not mere fasting as is believed by a few. If we are not grazing on food the entire day, our organs are less stressed and more efficient at their detox jobs. Luke Coutinho, Holistic Lifestyle Coach in the field of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine wants us to pick a day or two devoted to ourselves, when we want to go down the detox road.
