Detox Diet Dangers

Several years ago, detox diet could be a trend. Many people followed him with only consume fruits and vegetables, to remove toxins and of course lose weight.

However, according to David Bender, a professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry, diet has no benefit at all. He emphasized that there are no shortcuts to losing weight, including a detoxification diet.

This detox diet is widely recommended earlier because it is considered quite healthy, just eating enough fruits and vegetables including the increase of drinking water and avoiding caffeine, sugar and alcohol.

The effect of this diet touted to increase energy and allow the body to focus on 'self healing' or self-healing. Professor Bender denied this, stating that the term 'detox' has now been developed from the actual meaning.

"The term detox has been far from the original, which actually describes the chemical reactions in the production of urine. Now more a marketing term that has no meaning," said Professor Bender, quoted from Telegraph.co.uk.

He also revealed that detox diets that have been done a lot of people, not unfounded, and an error and even dangerous. "I'm not sure of the self-healing and energy could be improved is nonsense," said Bender.

According to him, increased body weight due to the imbalance between food intake with physical activity. The key to losing weight is actually very simple. "Just need more exercise and reduce food portions," said Professor Bender
