Natural Antibiotics That Are Hiding In Your Kitchen
The word antibiotic was derived by combining the words ‘anti' (against) and ‘biotic' (life). Antibiotics are designed to kill the bacteria in your body, but there are two main problems with antibiotics that are manufactured synthetically.

Secondly, bacteria develop resistance to them over time, so they become ineffective.

What's All This Fuss about the Juice Cleanse?
The juice cleanse is basically done with the purpose of detoxifying the digestive system. A good detox will help you feel fresh and cleansed. Our body is exposed to pollution (both indoor pollutants and outside toxins) which results in oxidative stress, i.e. depletion of antioxidants in the body. It is critical to purify the body. The process of detoxification in the body requires a wide range of vitamins and minerals along with fluids. Juices are one of the best methods of nourishing the body without adding any toxic load or challenging the body's resources.
