I know drinking water is good but I would like to try a drinking detox. I've seen a few here and there on the internet but decided to come here to see if y'all had any that worked?

    No such thing, hon. Any drink which says it is a 'detox' and isn't administered under a controlled environment by a medical team in response to extreme drug or alcohol use doesn't detox a thing. Your liver and kidneys (along with lungs, skin etc) detox you. If they aren't doing their job, you need a doctor, not a detox.

    Add stuff to your water if you like it, and it tastes good.

    ^^ This.

    You're already doing it right. Water is the best cleansing agent you can drink since your body requires it to filter everything properly through your liver and kidneys. Anything else is woo :)

    This one has always been fairly effective at detoxing for me:

    Won't happen because there's no such thing. It's a marketing ploy for the diet industry to make money.

    For Detox my family and I are doing the mean green juicing for about 5 days and so far it's been pretty good for us going on our 3rd day.

    Your body doesn't need a detox period.

    Why? "Detoxes" are just fitness myths. You drop a few pounds of water, but that's just about it.
    If there were actual "toxins" in your blood and cells, you'd need to go to a poison center or get immediate medical help and not try to get rid of them by drinking a concoction of vegetables and fruits.
    The truth is, there are no "toxins" in food or drink that the kidney and liver can't handle on their own.
