Hidden Dangers of Detox Diets

Colon cleansing and the detox diet fad are not new but lately have become more popular.  Experts believe that colon cleansing solutions are usually not necessary because our body performs a natural detoxification process, provided that we maintain a healthy diet that includes foods rich in fiber.

"Get-thin-quick" weight loss remedies often do more harm than good.  Rapid weight loss can deprive our body of vital nutrients and result in conditions such as:

  • Hair loss
  • Vitamin deficiency
  • Brain damage
  • Muscle breakdown
  • Cardiac arrhythmia
  • Depression
  • Anemia
  • Reduced immune system

    I agreed with this article 100%. Very good job!  As long as we keep a good diet, eat and drink the rights things, we are fine.  If it is not broken, why try to fix it?
