Don't Let Your Self Get Distracted by Detox Diets, Best Diet Plans are Quick
and Easy.
Everyone has 4 organs in their body that do all the detoxification we need: the kidneys, liver, skin, and lungs.
April 16 2009: Forbes Magazine
Detox (short for detoxification) diets are based on the principle that you need to get rid of certain “toxins” from your body to lose weight. The mistaken belief is that so called “toxins” are preventing weight loss and slowing metabolism and eliminating them will make you lose weight and become "healthy."
All of the claims are false - so called “toxins” have nothing to do with gaining or losing weight. Our liver, kidney, skin, and colon remove all of the “natural toxins.” The body does not need any help. There is nothing to cleanse!
Natural Detoxification of Our Body: We All Have Enough Equipment and We Don't Need Any Help!!
Kidney and bladder system:
This detox system regulates the amount of the minerals including sodium, chloride, potassium, phosphate, as well as urea and hydrogen in our body. It excretes them via the urine. It determines the amount of salt in the body and excretes if it is too high.
Liver filters the blood as it makes new chemicals:
The liver is involved in breaking down toxic substances like drugs, alcohol, artificial chemicals, and pesticides. Basically it converts these toxins from its fat-soluble state (which means that the body would find it difficult to excrete out) into water soluble chemicals, so they can filter and removed by the kidneys. It removes bilirubin, which is a chemical released when our red blood cells die.
Skin serves to remove natural toxins from the body:
Skin excretes waste product and excess salt from the body. It helps regulate body temperature by increasing or decreasing the amount of sweat.
Even the lungs are involved in natural detoxification:
With each inhalation, oxygen -the fuel all the cells and organs of our is extracted by the lungs from the air we inhale and infused into the bloodstream.. With each exhalation, we dispose of the carbon dioxide that is the by-product of our bodily processes. Besides gas exchange, the lungs filter out a host of alien substances including pollens, dust, viruses, bacteria; the constituents of the air in our homes and offices and factories,
If you think some “bad foods” are in your body stop eating them. In a few days the body will eliminate then naturally. Detox diets are a scam, they are dangerous as well.
Save your time and money. Quackwatch has a great review of the detox hoax that is everywhere you look.
If weight loss is your goal, then find a diet plan that appeals to your. There are hundreds. Keep the changes simple and make small changes at a time.
What are the "normal" toxins?
Normal products of metabolism are not toxins but the normal end products from ingesting food or the breakdown products of normal body cells as new cells replace old ones. These normal end products of metabolism are excreted by our liver, bile, kidney and colon and interfering in this normal process may even cause damage.The FDA has sent out more than 7 warnings that colon cleansers are have no value for any problem except for preparation for a x-ray study.
What are the real “toxins?”
Other chemicals that are ingested usually by mistake are toxins if they do damage. Such toxins might be lead, arsenic and smoke. These are all dangerous substances and the effected person needs a physician.
Do normal “toxins really normal interfere with weight loss? - NO
“DeTox”-Diets, are they real?
Why do some people lose weight on these detox diets?
Simply because they reduce the calories by changing the foods. Fill up with water or eliminate fecal matter from your colon and you will lose a lb. or two. They are really 1600 calorie diets.
Other unproven claims about toxins and weight loss:
Some believe that there may be unhealthy foods such as caffeine, alcohol, several types of processed foods, pre-made foods, salt, sugar, red meat, fried foods, that are keeping you from loosing weight.
Sources of other toxins include those produced in the body during nor such as the ammonia and chemicals such as pesticides, household cleaners, food additives, drugs, pollution, cigarette smoke, and heavy metals like lead that enter the body when we ingest or inhale.
None of these so called “toxins” have anything to do with losing weight. In the end, its all about calories in and calories out. Eat less or burn more and you will lose weight.
