I think the word "detox" is an extrememly successful marketing gimmick that has somehow influenced or even brainwashed smart reasonable people into spending lots & lots of money for all kinds of detox products & programs.
Truth is our body is equip with expectionally efficient organs (liver & kidney) that will remove unwanted & harmful substances from the body. If our bodies stored toxins as much as manufacturers of detox products would have us believe, then mankind would have extinct long ago!
Enough Water, exercises & good circulation is all that we need when we do over indulgent. If you really need to........ go on a water or fresh juice fast for a day, that'll do the trick!
Hmmm.... good point....
ReplyDeleteI'm going on a water fast this weekend, hoping to flush out all the junk :)
ReplyDeleteIs it like whole day drinking nothing but water & no food????
DeleteYes.... will try, hoping it'll work. Warning ,People who are prone to gastric please dont do this !
DeleteAlways wanted to do something like this, BUT never have the discipline to go through with it! weekend is always going out for makan time !!!!
DeleteThat's what I thought too... weekends always there's some kind of gathering & always involve food! Maybe this tues on hari raya I could do it :D
DeleteHi Eva, I don't agree with what you wrote. Sure we have all these organs that are suppose to be able to remove all the toxics we consume. But don't you think the effectiveness also needs to depend on how healthy they are?
ReplyDeleteWhat if they are not so healthy?
Very True !!!! Thanks for pointing that out :-)
DeleteI'm beginning to see the wisdom of 'fasting' , start slow, start with a day! Feel fresh after:))
