Currently, there are numerous ways to lose weight and out of these methods, detoxification-diet has become popular among many individuals, such as teenagers and middle-aged women. The word “detox” comes from detoxification meaning a metabolic process, which makes food less toxic in the human body and prepares them to be excreted. Mizpah Matus (B.Hlth.Sc(Hons)) stated that, “[a] Detox Diet (also called a cleansing diet) will remove toxins and poisons from your body.” Nowadays, there are beverages that contain mixtures of detox foods, such as pineapples, avocados, basils, apples, onions, and parsley. Although detox diet is not a clinically proven method to help individuals lose weight in a healthy manner, countless celebrities such as Beyonce, Oprah, and Gwyneth Paltrow tried out some kind of detox diet to quickly lose weight. The goal of detoxing is to cleanse one’s body for a healthy life by removing toxins and wastes from the body. This, however, provokes a controversial question: do people truly maintain a healthy lifestyle from detox-dieting, and is it necessary? Few experts agree that detox diets are healthy, if under the watch of physicians, because of the many benefits for the body that follow from detoxing. ND, PhD Linda Page (as cited in Davis, n.d.) stated, “It’s a way to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew. Anybody can benefit from cleansing. The body is coming out of what might be called hibernation. It’s a way you can jump-start your body for a more active life, a healthier life.” Detox diet may benefit the person by enhancing the function of the liver and kidney, as well as the immune system to easily fight off infections and increase the person’s energy vitality.  Mary L. Gavin, MD (as cited from TeensHealth from Nemours) stated, “There are lots of claims about what a detox diet can do, from preventing and curing disease to giving people more energy or focus.” Also, fasting for one or two days is considered good because they burn off fat along with toxins accumulated in it. Donald Hensrud, M.D. (as cited in Mayo Clinic) stated that, “Researchers aren't sure why, but it seems that regularly fasting - severely restricting food and drink for one to two days a week - can potentially improve your heart health.” New York dietician Cher Pastore (as cited in Pearson, 2011) stated that she was fine with the idea of “cleansing” the body for one to three days because cleansing is healthy and said that the “juice cleanse” was a method that she would use.
