MYTH 2: DETOX DIETS ARE EFFECTIVE

Fact: Most detox diets are restrictive and low in essential nutrients. They may lead to temporary weight loss, but it’s mostly water weight, not toxins.

MYTH 3: DETOX PRODUCTS WORK MIRACLES

Fact: Detox teas, supplements, and wraps often lack scientific evidence and can have side effects. They’re not a magic solution.

Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get enough sleep. Your body has the detox game covered!
