Countless celebrities have endorsed doing a detox diet, and thousands more have followed the trend, which begs the question: is it really just a trend, or is there something more to this idea?
Well, think about it like this. Most people today care about the environment and the impact that we as humanity are having on it. We recycle our grocery bags, or bring our own, use energy-saving light bulbs, buy hybrid cars, recycle pop cans and so on. Yet, very few people stop to think about how pollution directly affects their bodies.
Even the person who lives in the most remote part of our country is still exposed to toxins in the environment, whether through air, water, food, or other means. These toxins are very hard on the body, and difficult for the body to process. In fact, more often than not, these toxins are simply stored in our fat cells until the body is more equipped to safely handle them. As time goes by and these impurities build up, serious ailments can happen as a result. This is why a detox diet is a good idea.
While not every detox diet is the same, and some frankly are quite bad, there still remain a few good diets that can benefit your body greatly. A detox diet can provide your body with the time, space, and nutrients it needs in order to safely handle and evacuate toxic buildup.
There is one suggestion you should strongly consider, however. If your chosen diet doesn't already include this, then pick one up: an anti-oxidant supplement. Anti-oxidants will take care of free radicals that are loosed during the cleaning process, and will give your body an extra layer of protection.
A detox diet can not only help to prevent future diseases by eliminating toxic buildup, it can also help you lose a little weight as well. Pollution should be on our minds, yes, but it shouldn't be in our bodies.
