The weekend is an ideal time to start a detox diet. Once the weekly stress has passed, whether it is caused by studies or work, we can dedicate some time to ourselves and prepare delicious recipes that help us purify the body.
It must be taken into account in this regard that detoxifying food routines base their planning on the almost exclusive use of fruits and vegetables, so most dishes will be juices, creams or salads.
