10 Accepted Health ‘Facts’ That Are Actually False

Myth no. 7: The human body needs regular detox

It seems that nowadays, there’s a detox plan for almost everything. And while detoxing your body is a good thing, most people don’t know exactly what they are detoxifying from their bodies. Do you? Well, if you couldn’t find a clear answer for that, it’s probably because our bodies don’t really need regular detox.

Soup diets, juice cleanses, or detox supplements are nothing but money thrown out of the window. Our bodies are smart enough to cleanse themselves naturally. A detox supplement is not as smart as our liver, and, in most cases, it doesn’t need any help with its tasks.

Your liver’s main task is to detox your body by regulating chemicals in the blood and clearing it of potentially harmful substances.
