How to Detox Your Body in 3 Days Naturally
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced world, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins — from processed foods, air pollution, stress, alcohol, and even skincare products. While the body naturally detoxifies through the liver, kidneys, and skin, sometimes it needs extra support to reset and function optimally.
This 3-day natural detox plan is gentle, realistic, and designed to help you flush out toxins, boost energy, improve digestion, and restore your glow — all without harsh cleanses or extreme diets.
What Is a Detox?
A detox is a short-term program that helps eliminate toxins and waste products from the body. It focuses on nourishing the body with clean, whole foods, hydration, rest, and gentle movement.
Remember:
- No crash diets or starvation
- No expensive supplements
- Just natural, whole-body support
