DO YOU DETOX?<\/h1>\n
There are a lot of detox diets out there that claim to rid your body of toxins and supposedly will help you lose weight and inches quickly. \u00a0So, is any of this true?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My initial response is that if you\u2019re eating a healthy diet regularly, there shouldn\u2019t be a need to take any such drastic measures to feel better. \u00a0The liver and kidneys are designed to naturally detox your system. \u00a0As long as these organs are functioning properly, there shouldn\u2019t be a reason to follow a detox diet.<\/p>\n

Experts, however, are divided on this subject. \u00a0Current research tends toward those whom say detoxing isn\u2019t necessary and some studies actually indicate that such practices could be harmful. \u00a0By drinking water, eating vegetables, and getting enough fiber on a regular basis, you should be able to keep your system in proper working order.<\/p>\n

The other side, however, says that our diets are full of more processed foods than ever before and so our bodies may need some extra help in order to get rid of all of this junk. \u00a0Rationally, this argument makes sense. \u00a0This leaves us with a lot of information, but no definite answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, I still side with caution and say that when you detox, you get rid of the good things in your body too and it\u2019s just not worth the hassle to lose a few pounds. Besides, you’ll be so grumpy that no one will want to be with you no matter how good you look!<\/div>\n
