9 things you should know before you go on a detox diet - nutrition detox

  • Put your kitchen in order and make a softer diet. It is important to prepare the body to be able to purify it afterwards. "It is important to take care of your diet during the previous days so that the change is not drastic. It is recommended to avoid red meat, highly processed or industrial foods [e.g. pastries], alcohol, tobacco or coffee.... This way we will optimize the results and our body will eliminate more toxins", explains Dr. Conchita Vidales from Drink6 by Nutrimedic -specialized in detox treatments-.
  • Drink plenty of water. It is essential to stay hydrated and avoid headaches and other undesirable 'side effects'.
  • Do it with the help and supervision of a professional. Food is an important issue that influences our daily lives, so, although it is possible to make juices at home as a complement to a balanced diet, when making a detox plan it is important to have nutritionists who measure in detail all the steps, who have studied in detail the composition of each juice both for its nutritional value and its taste. This way you will get a much easier and healthier detox.
  • Make sure that the juices are providing the necessary vitamins and nutrients. "It is important to know what ingredients, in what quantities and at what time of the day we have to drink the juices. Our smoothies, for example, are made with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, up to 15 different ones, to also have a variety of nutrients and, in addition, a contribution of lipids for the system to recover at night," explains Dr. Vidales.

  • A purifying treatment based on juices may not be for you. If you are pregnant, if you suffer from some kind of eating disorder or are diabetic, follow a treatment with anticoagulants ... it is not the most advisable. In any case, consult your family doctor if you have any doubts.
  • How long should the detox last? If it is your first time, you can start for one or three days and, in any case, no more than 5 days in a row. "The ideal is to incorporate it into our life habits and routine to be able to do it one day a week continuously or 3 consecutive days a month to achieve the best results".
  • Under no circumstances prolong the detox several weeks without rest. "It is necessary to know that in detox plans, the contribution of proteins and fats is the minimum -only in the last juice for the renewal and maintenance of membranes and better functioning of the central nervous system- to, in this way, use the reserves and purify the body. If we prolong the detox too much we could have headaches, diarrhea by increasing liquid intake and fiber in the diet or constipation by reducing the amount of solid food, fatigue, anemia ...", warns the expert.
  • A before and after in your diet. Be aware that one or more healthy days is fine because you will ingest many vitamins and nutrients, but one day is useless if you do not maintain a healthy eating habits and lifestyle. Including a fruit and vegetable juice in our regular diet as a complement is a very healthy and highly recommended practice. Read: 3 healthy smoothies that will help you lose weight.
