Myths down: detox is fashion instead of good
Wday.ru found out from an expert what slagging of the body really is, who needs a general cleaning of the body, and who just spends money on useless programs.
There are as many people who want to remove toxins and toxins now as there are recipes for fasting days. Detox on water, juices, smoothies, buckwheat … However, our specialist says to adherents of body cleansing – stop tormenting your body and wallet!
Blood tests instead of detox programs
“I want to unload”, “How to cleanse the intestines from toxins?”, “I urgently need a detox program!” – many talk about this, but, most likely, they do not fully understand what slagging means and how it is actually treated. With food, nutrients enter our body, are digested, broken down, micronutrients are absorbed, metabolized in the liver, and decay products are excreted by the kidneys. If the liver and kidneys do not work, then the waste products build up in the body, and a serious condition called “kidney and liver failure” occurs.
This is slagging in full. In such a situation, no celery stalk or a glass of smoothie will save you. In order not to worry about toxins and toxins, take a blood test from a vein for only three indicators: creatinine, urea and uric acid. The first two are included in the biochemical blood test, but can be taken separately. This analysis in private laboratories costs on average about 270 rubles for each indicator in Russia. If the results are normal, then no detox programs are needed. “
“The fashionable word ‘detox’ came from the medical term ‘detoxification’, continues Regina Akhunyanova. – Detoxification is carried out in hospitals in poison control departments after poisoning and other critical conditions with the help of serious medications, and not with the use of kiwi and spinach leaves. Toxic substances include alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, drugs.
If you have consumed strong alcoholic beverages in large doses for two weeks, smoked, and the food consisted of only coffee and sausage, then after that, of course, you will need to undergo examination and treatment in the gastroenterology center. If you eat a complete and balanced diet every day, then there is simply nothing to cleanse, because the kidneys and liver are doing their job.
Drink plenty of clean, still water every day to help your body eliminate waste products naturally. Such a “detox” is the prevention of edema, salt deposits, bile stagnation and normal blood filtration ”.
