What is a Detox Diet?

A detox diet is one of the most popular forms of diets, especially among celebrities. In a detox diet, we aim at getting rid of all the toxins in our body that we intake in the form of junk food, alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, and something which we can’t control; pollution.

It is essential to get rid of these toxins because the lifestyle most of us follow does not give us a lot of time to take care of our body, and the presence of these toxins in our bodies can make us prone to problems such as weight gain, bloating, fatigue, etc.

It can sometimes be challenging to follow such diets, especially in cities like Mumbai, but at the same time, it is worth the effort. To start with your detox diet, the first thing you need to do is, cut down on junk altogether, which includes everything ranging from processed foods to cigarettes and start consuming fruits. Doing this might lead to a reduction in body weight because you don’t have a lot of food choices. It can be a bit challenging for teenagers because once the detox diet is over, they might crave consuming junk food more than they did earlier, and this can induce unhealthy eating patterns in them.

Yes, following a detox diet is indeed no less than a challenge, but at the same time, we can’t ignore the health benefits it provides. Reducing junk food and eating fresh fruits can significantly improve a person’s health. That said, one must not follow a detox diet for a prolonged period as it can lead to a lack of energy, fatigue, and dizziness because even though fruits are healthy, they can’t provide all the nutrients required by our body. For those nutrients, we need to switch to other food products like fish, eggs, etc.
