Is Detox Really Healthy?

Especially in recent years, since social media started to enter our lives, detox We started to hear the word and those who detox more.

Many individuals started to share their detox salads, smoothies and bowls on social media, and we can say that this has officially turned into a fury. This is what we came up with detox culture We wanted to benefit from her thoughts and experiences by meeting with dietitian Gülşah Kumanova.

Here are the answers of Gülşah Kumanova…

Detox (basically detoxification) is the process of removing toxins from the body. When you experience food poisoning, your body continues to live thanks to this process.

Organs such as liver, kidney, lung, skin, intestines in the body active takes charge. In addition, there is no need for a special diet or supplement for this process.

The instinctive brain may be responsible for people detoxing.

Approved by the society, the media and even healthcare professionals, to miraculous products we love it! These products ensure that things to do for people are simple and do not require complicated thinking, which works for us. Fear is also a super motivating force for action. See: Some form of intimidation of people over the accumulation of toxins in their body.

Detox posts on social media; It should be considered that this is positive so that detox diets and detox drink sales should increase so that someone can earn money!

Writing detox diets doesn’t require a dietitian’s hard work. Detox water, on the other hand, is one of the products with low cost but high selling price. As a dietitian, this situation; your financial interests I am aware that there is a reality that proves that it is in a higher priority position than human health. I can easily say that I am disgusted with this market.

If we continue assuming that what is called detox means very low calorie diets, days spent with only green water;

It’s a non-negotiable topic: for no adult only from cucumber, lemon and parsley A mixture formed cannot provide adequate nutrient intake! We can even say that it invites these people to deteriorate their relationship with food.

Is it possible to lose weight by detoxing? Certainly!

It is possible to lose weight by eating only bread, rice or meat(!) In the acute (quick-onset, short-term) period weight loss it’s pretty easy. In fact, this is why there are so many people around us who lose weight voluntarily. My humble advice on this subject is to ask yourself the following questions: “Why do I want to lose weight?”, “I have been dieting for years and gaining weight back. What could be the reason for this?”, “What do I believe will happen when I lose weight? Is this all reality or fantasy?

Those who eat only by detoxing cannot get enough energy.

Not getting enough energy; it causes weakness, fatigue, irritability, preoccupation with food and suppression of metabolic rate. Besides these; individuals are not satisfied with what they eat, to social isolation can bend over and begin to experience vigorous weight-loss cycles. Health is holistic. You cannot improve your physiological, social and mental health in this way.

If you love its taste, bon appetit. This veggie-fruity drink you like; When consumed as a pleasant snack or a beverage accompanying a sandwich, it can be a fresh start to the day. I still prefer to chew the greens.

Detox culture is actually a type of popular marketing.

While marketing a useless intervention, to user error If you are taking shelter… The individual loses weight with the detox list/drink. Then he gains weight, of course, this is a user error. Then the newly designed detox list/drink is resold to the individual(!)

I work with individuals who are chronically dieting, experiencing explosive eating after their diets, and tired of the weight gain-lose cycle.

I don’t write diet lists in my practice, non-diet I’m working with an approach. Before listing my recommendations, I would like to get to know my target audience better. However, I found it appropriate to end our interview with a few recommendations:

• To catch your hunger and satiety cues, to eat in harmony with these signals,
• Focus on the taste, smell and appearance of the food you eat,
• Work on not having regrets about meals,
• Unfollow accounts that spread toxic diet culture messages,
• Receiving information from reliable sources,
• Observing how the foods you eat affect your body,
• Take care to get quality and adequate amount of sleep,
• Finding a pleasant way to move,
• I can suggest that you care about a varied diet.

Dear readers, since you are reading this interview, you are still alive. Because your body does this very well! Don’t lose your money & health with things like detox. Do not neglect the doctor’s control.
