full body detox - #25937
I am really confused about this whole full body detox thing. Last month, I decided to do a cleanse because I’ve been feeling pretty run down and bloated all the time, ya know? A friend said a full body detox would help reset everything, make me feel lighter, and even help with my skin, which has been breaking out like crazy! I went on this 7-day detox plan that involved only juices and tons of herbal teas, but oh man, I felt awful by day 3. Tired, headachy, and even a bit dizzy at times. I thought I was doing something good, but then I read some stuff online and now I’m not sure if full body detoxes are really safe or actually helpful. Like, does our body really need this kind of help? I mean, I thought our livers and kidneys handle detoxing naturally? My friend claims a full body detox can boost energy and mental clarity, but all I got was fatigue and a cranky mood. Also, is there a right way to do it? Should I be feeling worse before I feel better? Should I just stick to eating healthy instead of going through such extremes? Anyone else had experience with a full body detox? What’s the deal?
