Please explain if it is really a good idea to "flush out" my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what you mean by "flush out." if it means drinking water, that is a good idea, but i would not do it to excess. Too much water can actually be harmful to your health. If that means taking a laxative, i would be wary. Moderation is the best policy.
