When it comes to detoxification, everyone may have a different understanding. Some people think diarrhea is detoxification, while others think sweating is detoxification. In fact, detoxification itself is a very general concept and there is no exact definition.
Drinking fruit and vegetable juice can't actually help the body detoxify. Because the human body has a perfect detoxification system, such as skin, respiratory system and digestive system, which can prevent harmful substances from entering the body, the immune system can identify and remove foreign harmful substances.
According to the practice of many people taking fruit and vegetable juice for contemporary meals, not only the ideal benefits are not obtained, but also some side effects are brought to the body.
This is because fruit and vegetable juice is low in calories, and mainly provides some carbohydrates, a small amount of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, but lacks protein, fat and some micronutrients. If you simply drink fruit and vegetable juice without paying attention to the intake of other nutrients, it will easily lead to dizziness, nausea, fatigue and other side effects. This is really not a good thing for people who study and work.
In addition, some people have diarrhea after drinking fruit and vegetable juice, which is considered as detoxification. In fact, this is probably caused by the health problems of fruit and vegetable juice itself or lactose intolerance.
In short, there is no reliable scientific evidence to prove that fruit and vegetable juice can detoxify.
Compared with drinking fruit and vegetable juice, it is more important to maintain the health of human detoxification system by maintaining comprehensive and balanced nutrition, insisting on moderate exercise and ensuring adequate sleep and good mood.
