Before you start a multi-day detox diet, you usually empty your intestines with the
help
of special tablets or capsules.

cleansing or detoxifying substances
that are supposed to support the effect of the diet by
promoting digestion
and
having a positive effect on
the intestinal environment .
This is followed by several
juice days
, on which only fruit and vegetable juices are consumed instead of solid meals.
Plenty of water and herbal teas are also permitted and recommended in order to
stimulate the
metabolism and digestion.
This is followed by a
high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables, or raw vegetable juices
recommended.
As with a fasting cure, solid foods should only be eaten again slowly.

effectiveness of these detoxification
cures is disputed and the
