Type of Short-Term Diets Are Not Recommended For Weight Loss
Why should I detox?
A toxin is a chemical that has harmful effects on our body. Food, water, environmental causes can overload of toxins which are processed by the kidney and liver, and eliminated through sweat, urine and feces.
Some believe that our body can not completely eliminate the toxins, but these remain in the digestive tract, gastrointestinal and lymphatic system and can cause all sorts of problems, fatigue, headaches, etc..
A detox diet allows us to favor the elimination of these toxins and promote cell renewal. They prevent and cure diseases, help to concentrate, make us feel healthier … Proponents of such diets is related to the elimination of toxins, something that has not been proven scientifically.
Normally this type of short-term diets are not recommended for weight loss but to cleanse the body.
There are different types of detox diet. Some require a fast, stop eating a couple of days and gradually introducing foods in the diet. Do you lose much weight in the beginning but really what is being lost is water and muscle could be that up. If this is prolonged fasting could also lead to a slowing of metabolism, therefore, becomes much more difficult to maintain weight or get off later. In addition, generally accompanied by some supplements that are normally laxatives, so they can cause dehydration, mineral imbalances in the body and digestive problems. And that’s not all, such diets can be addictive, because of the sense of purification that produce, can become a dangerous addiction producing other serious health problems.
Above is very important that older adolescents with eating lots of calories and protein for growth and development, do not make such allowances as may be dangerous to your health. Nor diabetics with low blood sugar or those with eating disorders.
So how do I do?
Eating fruits, vegetables, drink lots of water, not bad, the opposite is very good for health, but make sure you consume all the nutrients your body needs protein that includes lean meats, eggs, vegetables, milk, etc.. Therefore, my advice is that if you want to do a diet of this type you get in the hands of a professional to advise you the best for you. And is that detoxification can take many forms, depending on the person in question. For a person who takes a lot of coffee, alcohol or other types of drinks, detox can mean only stopping this kind of liquid. Or someone who already makes a healthy diet may be to quit the dairy and / or wheat. Because detox diets may benefit some but also harm others, depending on the diet already before.
I hope that helps you feel better, or simply feel good.
