Detox Diet
Detox Diets for Cleansing
A good detox diet helps the body to cleanse
itself of stored toxins, thus relieving pressure on the kidneys, liver,
bowels and lymph system. A short-term detox or cleansing diet benefits
nearly everyone, especially those people who eat an unhealthy, unbalanced
diet, or smoke, or have a high alcohol or caffeine intake.
What is a Good Detox Diet
A good detox diet should be done relatively
slowly and should last for at least one week. Typically, detox diets start
with a liquid diet-plan or even a short fast (24 hours). Then natural
foods and liquids are added to the detox diet-menu over the following
days. Diet supplements (vitamins, minerals) may be necessary to maintain
optimum nutrition. During the early stage of toxic-cleansing, detox diets
can cause headaches. To reduce these detox side-effects, you may need
to reduce your intake of toxic foods (eg. caffeine) more slowly, rather
than stop abruptly.
Detox and Weight Loss
Detox diets are typically very low in calories,
and may appeal to fad-dieters looking for fast weight loss. However, most
weight loss on detox diets is only temporary, so they are not a good option
for genuine weight reduction.
Advice on Diets
Special diets or diet plans with special
diet foods are sometimes needed for particular health conditions. Ask
your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist about your personal dietary needs.
Otherwise, a balanced diet program containing foods from all the nutritional
food groups is best.
