It’s a common belief that detox diets and products can cleanse your body of toxins, but let’s unravel the truth.

MYTH 1: DETOXING CLEARS YOUR TOXINS

Fact: Your body has its own built-in detox system. Your liver, kidneys, and digestive system work around the clock to eliminate waste and toxins.

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.
