Dietitian's Corner:

 Our body is meticulously designed to naturally detoxify any harmful toxins we may ingest, inhale or absorb from our day-to-day living. Unfortunately, due to the high demands of our modern lifestyle, we put a lot of external and internal stress to our bodies. This overload can put a toll on our organs responsible for detoxification, making our body retain some of the harmful toxins we have acquired. This is a point wherein most diseases eventually develop and thrive. One way of giving "support" to our body's detoxification systems is by taking in foods that help bind, neutralize and deactivate those toxins. This smoothie has been formulated to contain powerful compounds to do just that! Have this smoothie as part of your healthy lifestyle so you can give your body the helping hand it needs!
