DETOXING MYTHS VS. SCIENCE

An Emirati Magazine publication – Released on JULY 14,2025 | www.emiratimagazine.com

Detoxing has become a wellness buzzword, with countless products claiming to flush out toxins, boost energy, and reset the body. But what does science say? Most detox trends—juices, teas, or extreme diets—are based more on hype than evidence. The truth is, our bodies already have highly efficient detox systems: the liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin naturally eliminate harmful substances daily.

No special drink is needed to “cleanse” your system. In fact, some detoxes can be harmful, leading to dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and even organ stress. While eating more fruits, vegetables, and drinking water supports health, there’s no scientific proof that extreme detox regimens offer extra benefits. Instead of restrictive cleanses, experts recommend balanced nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and limiting alcohol and processed foods to support your body’s natural detox abilities. In short, real wellness comes from sustainable habits—not miracle cleanses or overnight fixes.
