The is a wide choice of drugs or plans to help a person remove the toxins from their body. Spas invite dieters to spend thousands of dollars to starve themselves in exotic locations. There are a lot of professionals that dispute the way that these programs work and say that they can do more harm than good.Like other fad diets, detox diets promise quick weight losses that are ultimately unsustainable, and many other benefits that can occur naturally because they are based on junk science rather than a true understanding of how the body works, but worst of all, extreme diets like the Master Cleanse can cause serious side effects to people who are in vulnerable groups. These diets can give people a false sense of security. A cleansing system is a short term program and people will return to what they did before they started the program. A person turns to a cleansing system to correct the effects of their lifestyle that they are leading.Detox proponents say the body is under constant assault from toxins such as smog, pesticides, artificial sweeteners, sugar, and alcohol and without a periodic cleansing trough a detox diet, these poisons accumulate in the body and cause headaches, fatigue, and a variety of chronic diseases.Research has shown that the idea of removing toxins with supplements does not work. The body already has multiple systems in place for eliminating toxins from the body. This usually happens within hours of consumption. There is no evidence at all that any of these approaches augment the body’s own mechanisms. A person might find the foods that they are supposed to eat are very limited and very tough for them to follow. The use of supplements is another popular way for people to cleanse their systems.There’s a grain of wisdom in detox diets since it is true that the average person doesn’t drink enough water or consume enough fruits and vegetables, but the problem is most detox diets are so restrictive that they’re ineffective for long-term use, and the weight loss that occurs is usually temporary unlike a plan that will help a person lose fat naturally.For people who follow these programs there have been some good things reported. But the reasons they feel better might not have anything to do with the removal of the toxins. The lower caloric intake that many of these plans have a person follow will help a person lose weight because they are taking in less and not because of the removal of toxins.It has been reported by some that they feel a sense of euphoria while detoxing. It is one of the ways our body protects itself when it senses it is not getting enough food. It likely evolved as a way to help a person evade threats and locate food.There is something to be gained from avoiding large quantities of alcohol, smoke, junk food, or anything to excess. For most people they should not do anything in excess. Most of these regimens are anything but moderate.If a person has other health issues a detox program can be very dangerous. The group of people who should be aware of the dangers of detox include people with immune problems or other issues that are controlled in part by diet.The use of laxatives in detox diets also raises red flags among dietitians. Laxative abuse is commonly associated with eating disorders. Colonic irrigation, another fixture of some detox diets, carries the risk of bowel perforation or infection, both of which can cause death.Many people think that a cleansing system will perform miracles. In fact they are just another round on the diet treadmill. You can change your life in 10 days. There is no simple way to a healthy body. It would be better for a person to start to replace their bad habits with good habits to help them feel better. Keep the good habits in your life forever. Continue reading Read More

Civilization has realized the benefit of removing the unwanted poisons from our bodies for many centuries and it is not a new phenomenon. Detoxification, in its simplest form, is the removal of environmental and dietary toxins or those harmful substances that we either breathe in or eat. A detox diet aims to get rid of food-related toxins, like those found in alcohol, sugars and some fats, which have been linked to a whole gamut of problems: exhaustion, digestive ailments and depression and several cultures have celebrated the detox diet over the centuries for the health benefits that emerge from simply reducing or eliminating harmful foods and introducing a toxin-fighting diet rich in fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables.Detox programs vary widely. There are cleansing programs that have people eating or drinking certain types of foods. Some plans call for a restriction of processed or refined foods. Usually, the detox diets last for seven to 10 days, with the first days primarily reserved for the consumption of raw foods and vegetable and fruit juices, while the remaining days one adheres to a schedule of nutrient and fiber-rich foods, such as fresh vegetables, legumes and whole grains, cutting out the stuff that is not so good for you. One of the most pleasant side effects of detox is a more trim physique. The reason for this is because of the diet that a person is following is usually healthier for them. A detox is about more than food. There are other sources of the unwanted chemicals that build up inside of us. Our environment is full of things that end up accumulating in our body. The detox program focuses on the whole body. The natural foods should be a regular part of your diet. When using a cleansing system, a person should still get some physical activity. The added benefit of working out while restricting your food intake is that a person will find themselves getting slimmer. Getting rid of the toxins inside of you is also beneficial to a person’s skin. Toxins can have a very negative effect on your skin and removing them will help the skin stay moisturized and healthy looking. This can be attributed to better hydration. One essential part of a cleansing system is keeping yourself well hydrated. Some of the cleansing systems have people drinking a mixture that includes lemon in their water to aid in the detox process. They should continue to drink glasses of water throughout the day, as opposed to reaching for a dehydrating can of soda.Drinks full of sugar give a short buzz, but detox provides the real thing. Many people feel stronger because of this. Most people should understand that this will occur. After all, those following the regimen are eating the right foods. These are foods that can then be efficiently and effectively turned into energy. By combining diet with exercise, a person has the recipe to feeling better at all times.Many people opt for detox as a last resort because they’re often tired or sick. If you start a detox to lose fat naturally and you find the program is making you feel more nauseous, fatigued or more prone to headaches, the program is probably too rigid and restrictive. The beginning of making the right choices for your body can start with one of these programs. One should not complete a detox program and jump right into their old habits again, as then all the benefits will be canceled out. Unless someone makes the right choices they will find themselves riding a rollercoaster as they lose and gain weight. Continue reading Read More
