A new wave of detox diets has been gaining in popularity, promising to deliver higher energy levels and a cleaner colon, according to an MSNBC report.

These cleansing diets combine a mixture of fresh vegetables, fruits and spices that are aimed at replacing the processed and often unhealthy options that many Americans eat on a daily basis.

People avoid alcohol, sugar, animal products and caffeine during the course of their cleanse. These are all substances that exert stress on the body, detox experts say.

Among the benefits touted by detox fans include weight loss, a well-regulated digestive tract with a rebalanced pH level, and a purified liver.

John Gray, who developed a 30-day detox plan, told the news provider that there are a number of advantages to be reaped from a cleanse.

“Detoxing gives you more energy – and more energy gives you more libido,” he explained.

In addition to a detox diet, those who are looking to restore their energy levels and boost libido may want to try pH balance supplements that are aimed at counteracting the effects of an acidic diet.
