Fasting for a few days can detoxify.
It is not advisable to "abstain from eating and detoxifying", and a balanced diet is healthy.

The term "detoxification" is not accurate.

Nowadays, "fasting and detoxification for health" is not a new word. Feces, urine, sweat, etc. The normal excretion of human body contains some toxins, but not all of them are toxins. For example, the secretions of some animals (such as feces) are often used as Chinese herbal medicines to treat certain diseases. Therefore, it is not accurate to simply focus on "detoxification", and not all toxins are excreted.

And now all kinds of "fasting and detoxification" methods basically don't eat solid food or whole grains a day, just drink fruit and vegetable juice or add some protein powder. This "fasting" has nothing to do with "detoxification". The normal excretion of human body can take toxins out of the body. You don't have to fast for a few days to "detoxify". It's bad for your health not to eat for a few days.

"Hunger therapy" is more scientific

Experts pointed out that compared with fasting and detoxification, "hunger therapy" (that is, stopping for a meal or two or fasting for a few hours) is more scientific and belongs to the category of dietotherapy. If you eat too much, there will be stagnation in your body, which will lead to excessive burden on your stomach, so fasting for a few hours can give your stomach a full rest.

Therefore, for patients with diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation, hospitals often adopt this fasting method, which is also very effective when children have a fever.

A balanced diet is the healthiest.

A balanced diet is an important guarantee for human health. To put it simply, a balanced diet means not eating too much or not eating every day, paying attention to nutrition collocation and eating reasonably according to your physical condition.
