today we're going to be looking at some
of the myths and truths about detoxing
and cleansing if you've been keeping up
with diet Trends you'll have heard about
detox diets they're everywhere these are
the diets that claim that they can
cleanse your body from toxins and
pollutants that accumulate from the
environment from around us from a
stressful living and also from eating
unhealthy foods and usually the detox
diets make you fast they change your
diet by making you eat fruits and
vegetables and sometimes you got to
drink only water or tea and then take a
bunch of supplements sometimes the
programs even include enemas to clean
the toxins out of your colon like the
tailpipe of your body so as a medical
doctor as a researcher I want to
actually give you the truth behind the
concept of detox turns out that the
detox diets themselves don't do anything
to remove toxins from your body they do
not remove toxins from your body your
body ACH is hard wire to remove toxins
all by itself here's how it actually
works your liver is a powerful
detoxifying organ that removes virtually
all harmful chemicals from your body it
breaks them down it eliminates them your
kidneys filter your blood produces urine
which you pee out and often you can pee
out stuff that's accumulated in your
body as well those are two ways that
your body uses to detoxify your liver
okay and your k kidneys and that's why
by the way if you have liver disease or
kidney disease often times toxins do
build up in your bloodstream but really
those organs are the ones that do all
the heavy lifting now there are some
toxins that are not so easy to get rid
of even though your body does a pretty
good job to eventually get rid of a lot
of it and some of them are toxic like
heavy metals like lead or cadmium or
Mercury you can get these from foods
that absorb a lot of these heavy metals
from the ground or if there's they're
growing in contaminated environment
some chocolates are like this very high
in heavy metals or Seafoods that are
high in the food chain if you eat a lot
of it if you eat a lot of tuna if you
eat a lot of swordfish for example heavy
metals will accumulate in your body fat
but even then most of them gets
eliminated over time and flushed out of
your body all right so here's the thing
your body does all the heavy Li lifting
and there's no evidence that the detox
diets themselves actually break down or
remove toxins that have accumulated in
your body so what do the detox diets
actually do well here's the truth a
detox diet keeps you from building up
new toxins in your body and partly it's
because they stop you from eating
unhealthy Foods so by going onto a
plant-based whole food diet and
specifically they are removing these
detox diets are removing from you Ultra
processed foods that can contain
artificial preservatives and additives
you're eating less toxic material to
begin with so less toxins in gives your
body a chance to naturally remove the
toxins that are there without more
buildup most detox diets also remove
alcohol from your diet okay now what
does alcohol do alcohol is a toxin for
your liver so when your liver is
compromised by drinking alcohol guess
what you your blood starts to build up
more toxin because your liver doesn't
function as well as it should out with
the alcohol in a detox diet your level
will recover liver is a really
regenerative organ and it regains its
detoxifying capacity so yes um uh by
removing alcohol you're allowing the
liver to recover and then to do its
thing all right the third thing is that
detox diets give people permission to
focus on their health if you're somebody
who's going on a detox diet chances are
that you're you know you've decided it's
time to put a little attention uh to try
to get healthier so you're going to eat
less you're going to eat more healthy
foods you're going to drink more fluids
that help flush uh your blood uh use
your kidneys to it's their own advantage
and you're going to focus on becoming
healthier people who are naturally more
focused on their health tend to have
healthier behaviors and their body will
respond accordingly and become healthier
by the way an enema does nothing to
remove toxins from your colon so don't
even go there you don't need to get
anybody to stick something up your butt
in order to flush out toxins that's not
where toxins get cleaned out all right
now an enema will uh clean out your
colon but then you know that should be
something you do before a colonoscopy to
check for PPS and make sure that you
don't have colon cancer all right just
remember anema does not flush out
accumulated toxins because your poop
doesn't accumulate toxins that need to
be flushed out in order for Better
Health okay so what's the best way to
achieve a dtox diet whether you go onto
a a prescripted diet or not here's my
recommend
number one if you want to actually just
be healthier overall and it let your
body do all the work to detoxify all
right here's what you do switch your
diet away from Ultra processed foods to
whole plant-based Foods vegetables
fruits okay uh legumes nuts and seeds
healthy oils that will actually be
tremendously healthy for uh to help your
uh body overall your health defenses
overall um uh get better
uh cut out without ultr processed foods
and all those things that have
artificial coloring flavoring
preservatives and additives and
emulsifiers all those things actually
interfere with your uh Health overall
and uh so less toxins in uh faster you
can actually clean your liver can
kidneys can clean out the toxins that
are already there third uh stay diluted
all right drink water tea coffee those
are all great ways to remain hydrated
the more fluid you have as part of the
uh start for your to help your liver
push out and process those toxins and
your kidney to eliminate them the better
it is the key if you're drinking tea or
coffee though is avoid sugar sweetening
them or putting additives you know when
you go your favorite driveby and you
order your pumpkin flavored whatever
don't do that enjoy tea straight okay uh
that's what you would do in a spa do it
on a detox diet or coffee straight okay
if you want to put a little bit of uh
something that cut the strong Taste of
coffee use a nut-based um milk right so
almond milk oat milk soy milk those are
actually fine all right uh and avoid
soda you definitely don't want to be
drinking soda whether it's regular soda
or diet soda uh just stay away from
those when you actually want to clean
out your body and help your body reset
here's the other thing don't overeat
don't overeat if you want to actually
help your body clean itself out all
right stick to to the uh confusion
principle of hara Hai bunme hey I want
to share another resource with you it's
my free guide on boosting your
metabolism I'll let you in on something
that most health and wellness experts
don't talk about and that's that you can
actually enjoy your food while eating to
improve your metabolism and if this
sounds like a paradox I explained in
this guide how science is teaching us
that it's true in my guide I share five
foods that activate your body's
beneficial Brown fat and tell you how it
works to burn down the harmful body fat
you want to lose the best part healing
your metabolism can taste great check
out my guide on boosting your metabolism
available right now it's free in the
caption below now back to the video
harachi banii is a Japanese saying
coming from confusion principles which
means stop eating before you are uh
stuffed stop when you're about 80% full
when you eat slowly and you uh and you
pay attention to how your body feels
you'll know when you're about 80% full
so your hunger is satisfied but you're
not feeling stuffed leave before the
party is over that's actually the best
way so you don't overwhelm your
metabolism with calories all right if
you want to push this a little bit
further try intermittent fasting now we
already do intermittent fasting every
single day because when we're sleeping
we're not eating when we're not eating
we're fasting so we're always
intermittently fasting but if you
actually want to push your health a
little bit more uh you can actually try
deliberate intermittent fasting the
traditional intermittent fasting program
is 16 hours of fasting with eight hours
of eating look the research shows that
if you just fast for 12 hours half the
day and you eat for the other half of
the day which is a much more reasonable
way actually to do this that's something
I can actually do in fact I do do that
every single day that's a healthier and
easier more practical way to actually
practice intermittent fasting all right
and when you're actually doing
intermittent fasting the key is that
when you are uh eating you're going to
be hungry don't overeat and don't eat
junky food all right so this is a
five-part solution I just gave you uh to
actually help you detoxify naturally
without having to go on someone's
program without having to get an enema
all right this program I just gave you
helps you cut out um some of the harmful
toxins so that you're not building up
more in your body and let you take that
time gives your body the room to breathe
to be able to do its own detoxification
by dilution with fluid with your liver
working uh on its own to be able to
churn out um and get rid of all the
toxins and from your kidneys to be able
to pee out anything that you shouldn't
be accumulating in there this is the
most natural way to detox I hope you've
