Belief in some form of a detox diet abound regardless of the lack of any scientific evidence for it.
While the link between food and health is obvious, it is not the case that normal foods are somehow toxic and the body demands help in detoxifying itself.
Indeed, our liver, along with other organs and systems, perform such activities naturally.

A detox diet, however, claims to do just such a job.
People are encouraged to follow any number of typically healthy practices, such as consuming vegetables.
Some variations of such diets, however, are absurd and scientifically unfounded.
For instance, one common type advises consuming nothing but wheat grass juice for a few days.
The most intense form even calls for nothing but sunlight and water!

Many a detox diet is possibly harmless enough, to be sure, but others are not.
And even the harmless ones are still silly, dependent as they are on a outrageous misunderstanding of just how the human body really works.
The point of the matter is, people simply do not get sufficient exercise throughout the day on a daily basis.
Eating large amounts of fats, sugars, and salt has not harmed otherwise normal folks who engage in thorough physical activity each day, from infantrymen in the field to Amish farmers.

Actually, soldiers on maneuvers or perhaps in combat are fed copious degrees of fat, sugar, and salt specifically because they burn so many calories and sweat so much.
And several research indicates that Amish farmers – as opposed to sedentary Amish craftsmen – are healthy in spite of a diet high in fat, sugar, and salt due to all the manual labor they engage in.
So it’s clear that for the vast majority of people, the answer simply lies in regular exercise throughout the day.
The real challenge, then, is situated not in following some diet plan or other but figuring out how we can get exercise during our day – not just once a day, but throughout the day on most days.
