Remember, the lemon detox diet is considered a short-term and restrictive cleanse. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any detox program to ensure it is safe and suitable for your individual health needs. Additionally, this type of detox is not recommended for everyone, and its potential benefits and risks should be carefully considered.
