Miracle diets have always existed and people cling to them with the desire to lose those extra pounds that bother them. Detox diets are currently the most popular and consist of drinking a lot of fluids in order to eliminate toxins and impurities in the body and thus lose weight and reduce fat. According to experts, the detox diet should not last more than two days, enough time to purify and detoxify the body. Next I will tell you about some of the dangers that these diets entail for the health of your body.
What detox diets we should not do
- Vitamin deficiency. This type of diet is based on continuous fluid intake, the problem is that the body is burning energy and does not provide the necessary vitamins or nutrients. Lack of vitamins can cause weakness, headaches or vision problems.
- Muscle deterioration. By not receiving the necessary nutrients, the body will begin to take energy from your muscle tissue and thus be able to function properly. This will slow down your metabolism and make it harder and harder to burn calories.
- Hair loss. Depriving the body of essential vitamins and minerals causes hair to easily become dehydrated and severely weakened. The lack of nutrients will make the hair grow more slowly and gradually fall out.
- Detox or detoxification diets cause the blood sugar level to drop, causing depressive symptoms together with a low energy level due to a lack of nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin B12.
- Weak immune system. In the absence of nutrients and vitamins that the body needs, the immune system is dangerously weakened and makes the body more prone to contracting diseases and any viral process.
