Skip Juice Cleanses Because They Remove Fiber
- Avoid juice cleanses for gut health because they remove fiber, a key component of fruit.
- Caitlin Hall explains fiber is the most important element for gut and brain health and juicing strips it out.

- Say bye-bye to detox teas since evidence for health benefits is lacking and the liver already removes toxins.
- Caitlin Hall warns detox teas offer no proven gut or weight benefits and are a waste of money.
