Festive season is the perfect time to indulge in your favorite sweets and snacks. However, indulging in your favourite food during the festive season also increases the calorie count. Whether you are health conscious or have some health issues, a higher calorie count is always a reason to worry. But you can always switch to a detox diet post the festive season to cleanse your system and get healthy. Detox juice diets help you to lose the extra kilos and at the same time stay healthy. Wedding Affair brings to you some of the best detox juice recipes you can try at home.
