Detox is really popular these days, but unfortunately few people know what it really means. And that leads to a lot of ineffective and often dangerous fad detoxification diets. We humans are so good at making simple things complicated…
Our bodies are very wise. They know what we need, and often more importantly, what we don’t need to function optimally.

No human cultures were originally vegetarian, that came later to accommodate for a population that grew so fast that they ran out of game!
