WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM DETOX WARNING?
“Detox can have negative effects on health if it is done for a long time and uncontrolled,” says dietitian. Adequate and balanced nutrition should be the main principle in supporting detox to get rid of toxins,” he said.
Turkey Medicals hospital member Dietitian said that many methods that are suggested to be supportive of detox today are spreading through social media. Dietitian stated that detox, a metabolic event that occurs to eliminate toxins in the body, purify the body and maintain health, can have negative effects on health if done for a long time and uncontrolled. “Detox can also be defined as the process by which the body excretes chemicals and metabolites through the urine, feces, sebum, and sweat glands.
.
The main detox organs are the liver and kidneys. The skin (through sweat) and the lungs (through breathing/expelling carbon dioxide) are also considered to be detox organs. The intestines and urinary tract are extensions of the organs where waste is disposed of. In short, our body has created its own detox mechanism.

Is detox done only to lose weight?
Expressing that many methods have been developed that are suggested to support detox, Turkish Dietitian said the following:
“We can say that this information has reached a wide audience, especially with the influence of social media. According to the results of a study conducted, it was reported that about 60 percent of adults conduct health information research on the Internet. Information about various diets, vitamins and nutritional supplements on the Internet is cited as one of the most common reasons why people use the Internet.
Many people around the world are more closely interested in popular diets based on fast weight loss methods, rather than evidence-based scientific diets for reducing body weight. Detox diets, gluten-free diet, ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting diets are some of the popular diets used for weight loss purposes. But the necessity of carrying out these popular diets for weight loss and weight maintenance is controversial.”
Adequate and balanced nutrition should be the main principle
Drawing attention to the fact that if the detox is carried out for a long time and uncontrolled, it may have negative effects on health, Dietitian noted:
“Adequate and balanced nutrition should be the main principle in supporting the detoxification process to get rid of toxins. A diet consisting of main meals with a predominance of vegetables and fruits, whole grain foods, dried legumes, healthy fats, oilseeds, and foods containing probiotics is a form of detox that can easily be applied at home.
Limiting alcohol, regular focus on sleep, your body is to drink enough water to make an effort to reduce the consumption of sugar and processed food, consuming foods with high antioxidant capacity to care, care to be active during the day and reduce your salt intake to the body, organ health, and will support the detoxification process.”
Who should not detox?
Detox diet pregnancy, breast feeding, old age, childhood and adolescence in individuals with chronic disease and drug use in people who are risky in patients with organ failure, noting that Escapes, “clinically evaluated with the data, short-and long-term shows that there are potential risks.
Therefore, it is not recommended to do the detox without contacting a specialist. Although there are studies that suggest that weight loss may be present in the overall results of detox diets, it seems that there is body fluid loss without fat loss,” he said.
