Question 1

whats a good detox diet?

Accepted Answer

Detox?: What are you trying to detox?  Alcohol? Drugs? Caffeine?  There is no medically valid "detox diet".  Eating a well balanced diet rich in fresh vegetable and fruits and low in meats and fats; and exercise are important for healthy living.

Question 2

is the lemonade detox/cleanse good for you?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: You're planning to ingest nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup and cheyanne pepper for two weeks, right? The famous actress who did this lost weight, but this happens on any limited, boring diet. I suspect these protocols are invented as cruel pranks. Why not join a fitness club instead? You'll meet people who are healthy without being crazy.

Question 3

is detox tea a good diet? or is it bad for your health and body?

Accepted Answer

Detox tea: The short answer is that there is no medical literature supporting this as beneficial, and no guarantee that it may not be harmful.

Question 4

what foods are good for the liver detox?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure: But chelating agents, oatmeal - ingested fiber, all help in reducing toxins that get absorbed.  Reducing far and meat intake and using less drugs which are detoxified by the liver would help.

Question 5

what are some good recipes for a juice detox?

Accepted Answer

Detoc: Obtain a good juicer and blender.  Use only organic and fresh fruits and vegetables.  Use a higher proportion of densely colored fruits and vegetables in varous combinations to suit your taste.  Vary the ingredients frequently.  Drink slowly and drink juices that are cool but not ice cold.

Question 6

liver detox - what is a good product to choose?

Accepted Answer

No such thing : There is no such thing as a liver detox. The best way to take care of your liver is by not drinking alcohol excessively, not overeating or being obese, and not taking other  unnecessary medications.

Question 7

is detox water good for you and will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: First, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by detox water. There are many detox water recipes out there...one of the most popular includes lemon, pepper, perhaps some palm syrup. Certainly, drinking LOTS of water is good for you and may help with weight loss; if you are more likely to drink it flavored with lemon, go ahead. But water only diets aren't good; you need fiber (veggies/fruit)/protein.

Question 8

please describe a good detox diet for an ectomorph body type?

Accepted Answer

There is none: There is no such thing as a good detox diet. They are all worthless.

Question 9

i want to get on a detox diet so i can start a healthier lifestyle. what are some good supplements and where can i get them?

Accepted Answer

No "detox" needed: A person can eat healthy foods in proper amounts (less food, fewer calories, than before), exercise several times a week, avoid sugar and simple starches, avoid drinks containing sugar, and lose weight (plus keep it off) without any special teas. The "detox" or "weight loss" teas and supplements are sold to earn money for the merchants and manufacturers. They are not needed.

Question 10

is a juicing detox good for  asthma?

Accepted Answer

Neutral: Asthma is not a toxic reaction but an inflammatory reaction in the airways. I am not aware of any detox program which works for asthma although fruit juices may have other benefits.
