So what does detox mean to the experts?
However, these diets have no scientific basis, are unnecessary, and can be harmful to health.
Detox diets are temporary, extreme, and lacking in essential nutrients, says Herrero.
When talking about detoxifying the body, we have to talk about toxins first.
After consuming a lot of excess food or drink, how many toxins does the body accumulate?
In fact, it could even make things worse.
Its useless and can be counterproductive, says Herrero.
These diets are usually very low in calories and nutrients, which can cause imbalances and affect your metabolism.
Lasting changes are not achieved in two weeks, Herrero continues.
But it is with a dietary plan tailored to your needs and goals.
The foundation on which a rich and healthy diet is built on are our daily habits.
