Detox diets are short-term dietary interventions that aim to rid the body of toxins and help promote weight loss . They typically involve juice cleanses , periods of fasting, supplementation, and strict plant-based diets (via Medical News Today ). While detox diets are often marketed as a way to flush out your system and cleanse your body, they are largely unnecessary. That’s because your body already has its own detoxification system involving the liver, kidneys, and skin. In fact, your body has several processes, like sweating and urinating, that help remove any potential toxins and unwanted substances from your system. There is no concrete evidence to suggest that detox diets even work. According to a 2015 review in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, studies examining the effects of detox diets are limited and often only tested on animals. The review also found that there have been no randomized controlled trials conducted to assess the effectiveness of commercial detox diets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
