Today you can find many ways and recipes on how to remove toxins and toxins from their body. But is it worth doing and what does modern science say? And what does the detox program that the stars use. In essence, detox is the elimination of harmful substances from the body through special procedures and diets.

But does this have a scientific basis?

Doctors-resuscitators are surprised - before, only they knew the concept of detoxification, for example, if a person's kidneys failed and decay products ceased to be excreted or after severe poisoning. Naturally, it is necessary to remove toxic substances and first aid in this case - intestinal lavage. But now everyone writes about detox, and many are sure that our body is simply clogged with toxins.

Including in a glamorous get-together. Many of the stars associate this with poor ecology, low-quality products, chemical additives, etc. And in order to cleanse themselves, people just do not invent. The famous actor Konstantin Kryukov experienced some of these methods. According to him, he would like to eat right, sleep a lot, but this is very difficult and takes time.

There was a period when Kotov was fond of ancient Hindu methods of purification, for example, he drank a lot of salt water and drove it through the intestines with the help of special exercises. Others, for example, have gone even further - they take salt baths and draw water into the intestines thereby.

But what do scientists think about such practices?

And is it worth it to cleanse the liver using oil and lemon juice in large quantities!? But it was this method that Konstantin and his wife also used. True, according to him, they stopped such procedures after his wife became very ill.

And some of the detoxists use enemas and laxatives to cleanse the body, and almost simultaneously.

The essence of the method is to eat nothing for 21 days, but only drink at least 3 liters of herbal teas and water daily. Well, like the cherry on the cake - three cleansing enema procedures with a volume of 2 liters. And they need to be done for at least three days.

There are many special clinics offering detox programs. The cost depends on the procedures included in the program. For example, for ordinary enemas, but more gentle, you will need to pay from 20,000 rubles for a five-day course. Some clinics additionally offer massage, water treatments, and an individually tailored menu. The cost of such "joy" can be up to 100,000 rubles.

How do experts explain this idea of ​​a "dirty" organism, which literally cannot survive without cleansing procedures? According to psychologist Marina Danina, people who are little competent in health issues are often used to such tricks. And their ignorance is used by pseudo-doctors, whose main goal is to extract money.

So, for a couple of years, an organization of young European scientists (about 300 specialists) decided to test some methods and products that supposedly cleanse the body. For example, a body brush that draws out toxins, skin patches that work in the same way, various fruit smoothies that neutralize dangerous radicals, etc. - it all turned out to be fake.

And if you ask the manufacturers of such products, including representatives of the cosmetic concern, none of them will be able to answer exactly what toxins their products remove.

But if juices are at least not dangerous, the same cannot be said about cleansing dietary supplements. In some of them, harmful components have been found more than once, for example, phenol phtolein or sibutramine.

Homebrew liver cleansing methods using oils and juices are even more dangerous. Doctors-hepatologists say that people who use these methods bring themselves to vomiting, fainting, to hours of sitting on the toilet. And doctors are simply terrified of it and do not get tired of repeating - cleansing the liver by this method can cause serious complications that are life-threatening - jaundice, pancreatitis. You can die from this.

But the main thing is that all the torment is in vain. As well as the mythical liver stones, which supposedly leave the body after such a cleaning.

But doctors say that this is nothing more than a product of the interaction of yacitrus acids, bile, oil and food debris.

Are enemas so useful?

No, and even vice versa. Especially in the amount in which it is usually done. As doctors say, this is a real disaster for the body, because from the body during enemas beneficial microbes are washed out, which help to assimilate food, participate in the synthesis of vitamins, strengthen immunity.

By giving enemas, a person exposes himself to a serious risk of infection, since the body has no resources to defend itself. As immunologists note, the microbes in us are part of the immune system, they protect against harmful bacteria. Moreover, the immune system itself is constantly calculating bacteria, adding and removing unnecessary ones.

Surprisingly, bacteria in the gut even affect our mood and food choices. If you disturb the balance with an enema, bad bacteria will come in place of the good ones, because they are more tenacious.

But the main thing is that they are also useless, there is no purification at the cellular level. Official and evidence-based medicine does not find confirmation of this. And there is no such thing as slagging in medicine. It is enough to enter this word in the search box on the WHO website to make sure that there is no information about slagging there.

But there are ways of healing, which can be conditionally called purification, and which science supports. But here we are simply talking about the normalization of metabolism. For example, you need to limit the amount of calories and animal protein IGF1 in the diet associated with aging.

Due to this, the name system will begin to work more efficiently, memory will improve, and in a sense this is detoxification.
