How to Cleanse the Whole Body With Algae

If you find yourself feeling sluggish, want to shed a few pounds, and restore shine to your hair and a healthy glow to your skin, you may decide to do a cleanse. Algae is an excellent addition to a full body cleanse because it is rich in chlorophyll, a substance that can help to remove toxins from your body. While you may decide to fast, it's not necessary to do so. By simply eliminating toxins from your body, staying hydrated and supplementing with one or more forms of algae, you can achieve noticeable results.
