hey, guys. sean nalewanyj here at www.seannal.com-www.bodytransformationtruth.comi got a question recently over on my facebook page which you can join using the link inthe description box if you haven’t already. and the question was in regards to “detoxdietsâ€, they’re also called the “cleanses†and whether or not they are actually of anyuse. this is actually a huge industry now. if you go down to your local supplement storeor health food store, you’ll see tons of
easy detox diets to follow, products in this category. you know, detoxkits, teas, pills, powders, recipe books and the basic claim is that these products aregoing to help you cleanse your body and cleanse your organs by removing toxins that have builtup in your system. the reality is that this is complete bullshit. there is no scientificevidence to show that detoxes or cleanses
done through your diet or by using supplements.no evidence to show that they have any effect on removing toxins from your system. and there’salso no specific agreed on definition of what these toxins actually are in the first place.in medical terms, detoxification means to remove a harmful substance from your body.so that could be alcohol, it could be drugs, poison and this is done in a hospital usingproper medical procedures. but when it comes to detox diets and cleanses, you’ll neveractually see a proper explanation about which toxins are being removed and you won’t findany scientific information on how the product actually goes about removing them. and that’sbecause this stuff is basically just snake oil. it’s either that or it’s just misinformationput out on health blogs or youtube channels
by people who don’t really know what they’retalking about. and i’ll actually linked in the description box below a paper thatwas done in 2009 that looked at 15 different companies selling detox products and it foundthat no two companies out of the 15 gave the same definition of what detoxing actuallymeant, and none of them could give any scientific evidence to support how their products worked.now, this doesn’t mean that detoxification isn’t an important of staying alive andhealthy. it’s crucially important. but the way that you do that is pretty simple andthat’s by having a liver, and having kidneys, and lungs, and skin, and there are other organsthat assist as well but your body is already wired up and programmed to flush out wasteproducts that it needs to get rid of. and
drinking a citrus green tea, detox smoothie,or following a 5-day apple cucumber juice plans; that’s not going to help the process.assuming that you’re otherwise healthy, this all gets done on its own. now, that doesn’tmean that you can’t support your body and support your organs for proper functioning,you can and should do that by eating a healthy nutrient dense diet, exercising regularly,getting proper sleep, not drinking or smoking excessively, things like that. but beyondthat detox diets and cleansing supplements are really just a waste of money. you willhear people that follow some special detoxification diet and swear by it because they lost weightor they felt better after it was done, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with theremoval of toxins. most of these cleansing
diets are very low calorie because they’reusually based on consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables, and that’s going to causeyou to lose weight fairly quickly but it’s basically just water and glycogen loss. andas soon as you go back to eating your regular diet, most of that weight is just going tocome right back. and if you felt better, again it’s not because you were removing toxinsbut if you were eating a high calorie intake before and you were consuming, you know, largeamounts of processed foods and the you go ahead and do one of these cleanses and youreduce you calories intake, and you start eating a lot of fruits and vegetables anddrinking more water, yeah, you’re going to feel better. because your mood and energylevels are going to go up because you’re
now getting the micro nutrients that yourprevious diet might have been lacking. and then on top of that is the basic placebo effect,which is also extremely powerful where if a person really believes that a certain supplementor a diet is going to have a particular effect, then they really will feel like it’s workingeven if it’s not having any actual benefit in their body. you know, if you have the mindsetthat, “my body was filled with toxins and now i’m purified, and i’m toxin free.â€then, yeah, you’re going to be in a mental state because of that. but anyway, there’snot much else to say on this. don’t fall for the stuff. it’s pseudoscience. there’sno evidence for it and your body already knows how to detoxify itself all on its own. thanksfor watching guys. if you appreciate science
