Some detox regimen -- like herbal supplements, spa treatments, and special diets that are designed to mop up pollutants, dietary waste, and even unwanted pounds --can actually do you some good.

Myth Diet Detox

Detoxification is needed because of the processed foods that are being ingested that do not break down. Increased meat (saturated fats) 24/7 without fruits, vegetables, or observance of fasting all lead the liver to partially digest foods and promotes abdominal obesity. Even children are starting to show the big belly often associated with adulthood! Hyper-nutrition (being greedy by one's eye) plus advertising/marketing make you feel you are hungry even though you are not and that adds to the furhter ingestion of food above the limit of normal intake.

Detoxification should not be about weight loss but about cleansing and allowing the body to take over house cleaning.
