Detox
diets, drinks, and supplements are everywhere – promising to flush out toxins,
reset your body, and boost your energy. But is detoxing the miracle it claims
to be? Let’s separate the myths from the Science. 👇
🔮 Myth #1: You need a detox to cleanse your body.
🧠 Science says: Your body is already equipped
with robust detox systems – your liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin do this job
24/7. You don’t need a special juice or tea to make it work better.
➡️
Support it naturally by drinking water, eating fiber-rich foods, and
getting enough sleep.
🥤 Myth #2: Juice cleanses remove toxins.
🧠 Science says: While juice cleanses may provide
vitamins, they often lack protein and fiber, essential for real detox processes
in your body.
➡️
Plus, extreme cleanses can mess with your metabolism and blood sugar. 🍏🥴
🧽 Myth #3: You can sweat out toxins.
🧠 Science says: Sweat is mostly water and
electrolytes – not toxins. Your liver and kidneys do the heavy lifting when it
comes to detoxification.
➡️
Exercise is great for overall health, but it won’t detox your body in the way
many believe. 🏃♀️💦
💊 Myth #4: Detox supplements are always safe.
🧠 Science says that many detox supplements are
unregulated and may cause more harm than good, especially those with strong
laxatives or diuretics.
➡️
Always consult a healthcare provider before trying any detox product. 🚫⚠️
✅
