The Craze Of Cleansing And Detox Diet

 Health and fitness is a much-talked about topic now with more people becoming conscious of losing weight and maintaining a lean physique. Cleansing and detox diet are being chosen by many – one of the most obvious reasons will be due to these methods being popularized by fitness experts and celebrities as the ultimate solution for weight loss.

It is advisable not to follow the trends blindly. Think practically – if you are avoiding particular foods to clean out bowels and other organs, then it is fine to a certain extent, but you are essentially depriving your body of other important nutrients if you continue for an extended period of time. Since the number of calories is being restricted, you will experience some weight loss for sure, due to the mix of muscle, the excess water your body stores at a given time, and a little bit of fat. This is an extremely unhealthy combination for the body!

If you suddenly drop your calorie intake, the results can be fatal. Cleansing and detox diet claim to wash out harmful toxins, but they are actually modifying the body’s cellular structure completely. Your body basically goes into “reset mode”, which means that the food energy in the body will be stored and not utilized when you go back to providing nutrients normally.

Scientifically, there is no proof that cleansing and detoxing actually helps in weight reduction because there is no research to support the theory. Yes, it is important to maintain healthy eating habits because consuming unhealthy food leads to accumulation of toxins in the body that is detrimental to it. Your body has to flush it out, but that can be done by eating a healthy amount of vegetables, fruits, and protein-based foods.

Following a fad just because “everyone is talking about it”, is a bad idea. We all want a lean and fit body, but it takes time and effort to achieve that. It will not be done overnight. You don’t want to starve yourself and then end up in the hospital due to your weakened system, right? Experimentation with the body is a strict no-no. Each body type is different, so what works for one might not work for the other. Analyze your diet or better still, consult a dietician or fitness expert as to what you can eat and what foods need to be avoided. Combined with eating properly, exercising on a regular basis also helps in weight loss.
