In a given day you should get 5 servings of vegetables and fruits (5 each) because these contain the building blocks the body uses to produce many of the things the body needs to perform, and to stay healthy and fight disease. If your not getting the right amount of these foods then you are creating a corrosive system. Add to that the bad foods you ingest into your body and you have a compounded problem. Detox diets are all about restoring balance and bringing about a stronger system. By adding vitamins and the fruits and vegetables into your body you are replenishing the body’s needed amino acids and more!
