Detox Using A Diet - Does It Work?
Detox yourself? Is it possible? These are the questions The Daily Mail newspaper tested writes their reporter Rosalind Ryan.
As Rosalind says, "
Detox diets can last from anything from one weekend to a whole month and are designed to eliminate the build-up of waste toxins in your body and also boost the body's natural detoxification process so it can function more effectively in future."
Your body's kidneys, lungs, liver, skin and your white blood cells and your lymp system provide you with the ability to remove most toxins.
If you consume or are exposed to many toxins your body may store them until it can flush them out.
Some toxins, such as mercury and pesticides are stored in fat cells in your body and are bio-accumulative. That means they're not going to be removed by your body's natural detoxification process and as more go in the levels of toxins goes up.
A detox diet is thought to help you excerete some stored toxins.
If you drink around 2 litres of water each day it'll certainly help your kidneys flush toxins through more effectively.
It was noted that whilst mini-detox diets take a weekend a "normal" detox diet takes about 30 days.
The Daily Mail decided to ask for 4 volunteers to each try a different detox diet to check whether detox diets "deliver what they promise" and whether you can "really detox your body in less than a month."
Their results are in the Daily Mail's article. In summary the diets did make people feel more energetic but some of them required you to drink revolting liquids that would be difficult to continue for any great length of time.
Obviously we're unaware as to whether the detox diets removed toxins such as mercury or pesticides. However, as the diets are simply a different way of eating or drinking that's unlikely.
Get Dr. Sherry Rogers very readable book called "Detoxify or Die" and you'll note she goes into exactly how toxins get into the body and the best way to get rid of them.
At the Ultimate Sauna we've produced a free report showing different ways to detox ( as specalists in infrared saunas we also believe very strongly in the ability of infrared to detoxify you).
