Detox Challenge, Health & Wellness
My 7-day sugar detox ended yesterday (9/16). It was an exhausting, irritable, and a wonderful week! I began my detox on Monday and decided to not consume any sugar, sugary products, rice, or bread of any kind for the next 7 days. I am sure that you all know the long list of benefits to quitting sugar. Some persuasive reasons …
