You Don’t Need to Detox! But That Doesn’t Mean You Can’t
It’s Dr. Sladic here, again, with some important information on detoxing and cleanses.
SOLUTION ON PG. 4
Detoxing is often seen as a palette cleanser. It’s thought to be a way of ridding your body of dangerous toxins and re-centering your body’s focus for a healthier, more vibrant, happier you. It can come in many forms, including long periods of fasting, very restricted caloric intake, or the ever-popular juice cleanse. However, detoxing isn’t necessary. Your body already has systems in place that naturally detox for you. In fact, your body’s systems are the most natural form of detoxification you can experience! And it’s happening all the time. Not only are your liver and kidneys constantly extracting toxins from your body, but those substances are also removed anytime you sweat or go to the bathroom. Your body doesn’t need a boost or other compounds to help it do what it already does naturally. Now, that being said, I don’t believe detoxes or cleanses are bad. In fact, my recommendation is that if you have found a program that makes you feel good — and doesn’t stress your body too much in the process — then you should do it! No one knows your body better than you. Science supports the argument that detoxing and cleansing your body does very little to actually help it remove toxins, but participating in a cleanse or detox every few months could be just the mental boost you need! You may feel more energized and focused on your goals, or you could experience a small amount of weight loss. That can be very motivating. If you take anything away from this newsletter, I hope it’s that you understand that you do not need to do a detox, but if it makes you feel good and is safe to do, then you should try it. (But steer clear of juice cleanses, which are often high in sugar!) I’d love to help you establish a nutritional and supplement routine that can help you find your best self, even if that includes a detox. Please call me today at 1-877-861-5927 to set up a consultation.
