The importance of removing toxins in the body has become more of a lifestyle, as people are more aware about the dangers of it when the humongous amount is deposited in the body. This knowledge then comes hand in hand with going green and being engaged with different physical activities in order to rinse away unnecessary components and maintain a better health.
Colon detoxification has been a practice since the ancient age, however its hype has become stronger due to the rise of health awareness and fitness fads that’s been popping rapidly on different nooks and corners of the improved shape and strength seeking population of the world.
While different ways of detoxification have been available and being offered in the market, the argument whether it is necessary is still ongoing. While it is true that eating healthy and proper exercise stimulates the body’s ability to shoo away unwanted and unimportant components and wastes in the body, some believe that the latest vogue when it comes to dieting in the form of detoxification removes the essential nutrients in the body and might trigger eating disorders.
According to Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokeswoman Heather Mangieri, RD, CSSD, the body is built to remove the toxins from itself. “There is absolutely no scientific evidence that our body needs to fast or detox in order to cleanse itself from toxins,” she said. “These diets are so popular because they feed off the fear that our environment is full of chemicals, and therefore detoxes are necessary. But our bodies have their own built-in defense system—such as our lungs, liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract—to help eliminate toxins.”
It is also being argued by Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, author of the book The Doctor’s Detox Diet that in order to remove plaques and cholesterol in the system to improve kidney and liver function, food is actually needed like fruits and vegetables as well as right amount of fluids like tea and herbal juices.
Other perils that those who do not believe detox really works include dehydration, changes in electrolytes. It can also trigger and nausea because due to hunger and the lack of food stored in the stomach.
While this is the case, a number of believers think that detoxification promotes wellness by removing radicals stored in the layers of the digestive and excretory tract. Detox gives ‘lighter’ feeling for improved movement and energy.
Another argument by those who are on the side of pro-detox is that it provides a better immune system and a body that’s stronger in protection to other health risks like cancer. It also delivers better circulation that’s not only beneficial physically, but mentally as well. Those who are in detox religiously claim that fatigue, brain fog and trouble in sleeping are being reduced and eventually disappear.
Whether you try to detox or not, it is still important to do everything in moderation. Eating healthy in right amount and interval will bring the ideal rhythm that the body should have in order to perform digestion, circulation, dissemination of nutrients and removing toxins in the body.
