Detox
Diets
By Galia Ivanova
Detox Diets are the last craze in dieting, that’s why the
number of people searching for detox diets is growing everyday.
You
may have heard about toxins, detoxification, cleansing, purifying
– they are all related to detox diets.
Toxins
are harmful chemicals affecting your body. They are all around
you (in your food, water, air) and inside you (as waste products
of metabolism). Your body eliminates most
toxins and the rest are stored within body fat.
These
stored toxins combined with stress can affect your health in very
unpleasant ways:
-
weight gain
- headaches
- feelings of fatigue and weakness
- heartburn
- sore muscles and skin
- joint pains
These
symptoms will fade when you start detox. Well, you may feel some
discomfort in the very first days, but that is a normal body reaction.
You
may feel headache or sore muscles, but that is because the toxins
are released faster then your body can eliminate them. These symptoms
will not occur again if you detox regularly.

is the process of releasing and expelling the stored toxins through
the elimination organs of your body - the intestines, liver, lungs,
