Detox diets: Unraveling myths and embracing evidence-based practices

Live Mint  

The rising popularity of detox diets in the Indian wellness market has created a whirlwind of trends that promise quick fixes for cleansing the body. With the Indian detox products market expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.01% through 2029, these diets are often touted for their supposed health benefits, yet their scientific validity remains questionable. Myth#1: Detox diets are essential for removing toxins Contrary to popular belief, the body’s organs, especially the liver and kidneys, naturally detoxify by filtering toxins without the need for external interventions. Myth#2: Juice cleanses are the best detox method Juice cleanses may provide vitamins but lack essential nutrients like fiber and protein, which are crucial for gut health and detoxification. To make informed decisions, prioritize evidence-based health information and adopt sustainable practices that support the body's natural detoxification.
