As summer comes to a close, we're sure that with all those BBQs and yummy hot-weather drinks, what you probably need most of all right about now is some detox in your life. Even if you're one of those women who try to stay healthy through summer, the benefits of taking some time to clean your system and eat clean for some time go beyond just losing weight or dropping pounds. As fall starts, it's a great way to reboot your system. Just think that soon, the holiday food fest will be here (Guadalupe-Reyes Marathon anyone?).
