Welcome to Episode 141 of the Real World Nutrition podcast! In this installment of our summer series debunking common nutrition myths, Shelley tackles the pervasive myth that you need to detox your body regularly. Detox products, from detox teas to juice cleanses, are marketed as essential for removing toxins and rejuvenating your system. But do you need them?
Shelley explains that your body has highly efficient detoxification systems, primarily the liver and kidneys, which work around the clock to eliminate harmful substances. She highlights scientific evidence showing that these natural processes can handle detoxification without special diets or products. Detoxing, in the medical sense, is reserved for cases of poisoning or substance abuse, not for everyday health maintenance.
Shelley provides practical tips to support your body’s natural detox functions: drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exercise regularly, and get sufficient sleep. These habits help your liver and kidneys function optimally, ensuring your body stays clean and healthy without detox diets.
Tune in to learn why you can skip the detox products and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
