DETOXING MYTHS VS. SCIENCE

An Emirati Magazine publication – Released on July 29,2025 | www.emiratimagazine.com

The idea of "detoxing" through juice cleanses, teas, or extreme diets is widespread, but science paints a different picture. Popular detox myths claim these methods flush out toxins, boost energy, and promote rapid weight loss. However, the human body is already equipped with an efficient detox system—your liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin. These organs naturally eliminate harmful substances without the need for trendy products.

Scientific evidence shows that most detox programs lack credibility and can even be harmful, leading to nutrient deficiencies or dehydration. Rather than relying on fads, the best way to support your body's natural detox process is through a balanced diet, regular exercise, hydration, and adequate sleep. Beware of products that promise quick fixes; if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Detoxing, when guided by science, is about long-term wellness—not short-term gimmicks.
