Advice on Body Cleansing
The human body does not really need any detoxification treatment, as it does all the necessary detoxification itself. This is the main purpose of the kidneys, the liver, and the lower part of the digestive tract. These organs remove waste products and toxins from the blood and from the foods that we consume, and dispose of them through our urine and feces. If you are consuming any substances that are more harmful for your body and that these organs cannot handle, a detoxification program is still unlikely to help you, especially if you are going to return to consuming these substances. A temporary stop in consumption of these substances (which is mainly what detoxification programs consist of) cannot reverse the damage that has been done or, in the case of more serious toxins, get rid of a build up.
There is also no proof that other detoxification methods such as herbal supplements, enemas, and treatments involving magnets or electricity work either. The best thing to do is to just eat healthily and exercise regularly. Do nothing in excess, including exercising and consuming food that is supposed to be beneficial. In addition, if you smoke and drink, you should try to cut down and preferably stop, particularly smoking.
