It has been stated that detox diets and products - do no harm - but - neither do they do any good!

What is Detox?  It is supposedly the cleansing of the kidneys, liver, bowel and stomach.  It usually combines an eating and excercise program with herbal supplements...to purify and purge your body of all 'toxins'.  To cleanse the colon inner walls allowing larger amounts of waste matter to pass through the bowel. Detox - claims to prevent and cure diseases - giving you more energy - but...with no scientific proof!

Why detox?  Because the liver can become overloaded - especially when our lifestyles become unhealthy.  These are short term diets - not aimed at weight loss - but rather to cleanse the system.

What Detox diets mainly have in common is that they usually include several days of liquid diet followed by eating organic raw fruit and vegetables - then gradually re-introducing other foods, but excluding red meat, wheat, sugar, eggs and packaged foods.

Nowadays you just have to purchase a detox kit from the chemist, healthfood store, or supermarket shelf - swallow some supplements, follow the diet and wow - you are cleansed!

To ramp up these detox effects the diets also include laxatives, salt water drinks, digestive aids and tonics - to induce bowel movements.  This is intended to regain vitality and lose weight.

But - can years of drinking alcohol, over eating, eating the wrong foods, taking drugs - be magically reversed by a brief detox program?
Is fasting... purging... eliminating a lot of food groups... good for you?
If you're looking for a quick fix solution - then it's fine for short term.
But - how quickly we revert to our old habits.

Or..perhaps something as simple as drinking freshly squeezed fruit juices - first thing in the morning on an empty stomach  can be the healthy alternative to detox - fruit acids make very effective detoxifiers!

So - study all this sites latest articles and news items - before you make the decision - to detox, or not!!
