Today, I will be sharing 4 best detox cleanse drinks for flushing your system. There are so many health boosting products out there that promise the best results for detoxing the body and promoting weight loss.
Detoxing procedures and remedies have gained immense popularity over the years. Detoxification diets promise to eradicate toxins from the body and boost your overall health.
These toxins are the primary culprits that lead to ill health and an array of health issues that include aches and pains, acne, obesity, dull or dry skin, joint pain, hair loss, and lethargy.
Why Does Your Body Need Detoxing?
Such toxins can be anything like pesticides, environmental pollutants, chemicals used in food additives, farming, metabolic wastes that formed in the body as well as different bacteria in metabolic products. Even though many easy to make drinks and foods can detoxify your system, how do you know which ones are actually helping?
There is limited evidence that is backed by science which supports the effectiveness of external detoxing methods. Our bodies have an integrated detoxifying system which includes the blood cells, liver, kidneys, and antibodies. What really helps is consuming foods and drinks that contain beneficial ingredients for getting rid of toxins.
Following a healthy diet that is rich in fiber, frequent exercise, plenty of water, and getting enough sleep are all factors that promote a healthy lifestyle.
What are the Best Detox Cleanse Drinks?
Detoxing drinks contain different vegetable and fruit juices that offer certain nutrients. However, they often lack calories and protein which may result in you feeling weak or drained. They can also decrease your metabolic rate because your body is deprived of calories.
Most commercially sold detoxification drinks are diuretics (boost urine output) or laxatives (promote bowel movements). Amplified urine output however can cause dehydration that is often perceived as weight loss. But, the results are only temporary and will be returned to the body as soon as you start eating a standard diet. Even though many products claim to detox your body, always consult with your physician or a nutritionist before taking them.
