Detox- myths and truths

nutriento web00007

Many of the available diets suggest starting off with a detox session before making any dietary changes happen. Their purpose? To cleanse the body of toxins and to accelerate the fat burning process. The outcome? Up for discussion.

So what would be the best ingredients for such a cocktail and how can detox become efficient?

First off, detox is recommended to cleanse the organism, but it should only be done so many times. The factors to influence this process are linked to the initial lifestyle and diet of the individual and how habits are changed afterwards. 

Then, it is important to keep track of what foods are in season. Our DNA still has strongly embedded nutritional functionalities that were developed over decades through our ancestors’ heritage- daily meals were conditioned by what was available in every season. Locally sourced ingredients are also highly important as they are also in connection with how our genes developed to function. Introducing new superfoods is beneficial, but if we are faced with a confusing variety of sources, the outcome may not be the one we expect.

It is important to make full use of plants that benefit us and we can preserve them- mint, cherry tails, burdock, dandelions. 

The efficiency of a detox does not translate into wonder-effects that are promised through elaborated marketing, but rather comes in completion of dietary changes. Cleansing the organism should mean that the change will be further kept, but it cannot be considered a factory reset per se. Detoxes consist of a minimum effort that make way for new diets. But is a detox necessary or is it rather a recommendation? Detoxes present for a fact a series of benefits that our bodies can make the most out of and can lead to wellness.

So what is the recommended frequency to undertake such a procedure? Perhaps once or twice a year, but it is important to maintain the new changes according to how we feel after a detox session. Besides, it is important that all the ingredients we use are fresh and natural.
