A lot of people these days opt for detox diets and detox drinks as a way to flush toxins out of their body. But the question that arises here is are these drinks and diets really effective? Talking about drinking detox drinks, a lead nutritionist said, "Some may find it a breeze, others may find it a challenge. Some may see some positive weight loss (most people in fact), but this is about more than short-term weight loss; it's about breaking habits, giving your body a rest and finding the healthiest version of you."
Leading Harley Street Nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, says, "Any suggestion that the human body can be detoxed with a juice cleanse is incorrect. We are naturally designed to remove toxins using our liver and kidneys - a juice cleanse won't perform such a detox." He continued, "Our bodies are perfectly capable of ‘detoxing’ themselves. Using a juice to ‘detox’ may also lead to digestive discomfort and an unhealthy relationship with food. There is no better way of maintaining a healthy body than eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit and veg, essential fats, whole grains and protein."
