“Many people turn to cleanses because they feel off—they’re bloated and sluggish, dependent on caffeine and junk food cravings, breaking out,” says Stephanie Middleberg, a New York City-based registered dietitian. Most people start or continue these types of “detox’s” to rid their body of toxins and eliminate waste, when in reality these diets are doing more harm than good. That really is what your liver (and your kidneys and intestines) is for. “I don’t like the marketing around juice cleanses,” Eric Ravussin, Ph.D., associate executive director for clinical science at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, told BuzzFeed Life. “That it’s going to detox and mobilize all these toxins and all that — this is pure marketing.” When people begin their cleanse for a duration of normally three days as long as they are healthy with no extreme health issues or problems, most physicians will not take their time to fight you on the negatives or the unrealistic outcomes that people expect out of them. If the cleanse makes you feel better for a little bit and boosts your confidence than no doctor truly has any issue with the idea as long as there are no risks within your own body. Most peoples thoughts when first beginning this diet is that the juice they are consuming for every meal is much better being a liquid oppose to eating solid foods than contain more energy their fore making you potentially feeling more full or bloated. Diets come in all shapes and forms but this one is especially controversial in many ways, the nutrition value and the ingredients can be very good for you but when consuming so much of the same thing you put yourself at risk of to over intake specific micro and macro nutrients. When juicing all the ingredients for you meals, people dont consider and realize that when extracting the juices from the fruits and vegetables you are taking in the sugar and extracting all the fibre, which leaves you feeling less full and makes you want to consume more and this can be extremely Un-healthy due to the levels of sugar you are taking in per serving and per day. Your blood sugar begins to rise because you are not taking in the fibre and the important macro nutrients that help with breaking down the sugar in the body. Your pancreas begins to produce more insulin causing some people to develop diabetes, your body tries to regulate all the extra being put in but sometimes too much is added at one time. The lack of sodium that people are having when juicing can cause most to feel very light headed and dizzy. Over all the cleanse has a lot of downsides that people are not particularly aware of and seem to only be interested in it to make themselves feel better or to drop a few pounds, when realistically you are just depriving your body of the things it needs to regulate and be healthy. Many juice cleanses limit you to around 1,000 calories a day (or less). When people limit their calories, “they tend to start feeling a little bit weaker,” Buse says. Low calorie-intake can also make you feel irritable, Leslie Schilling, RDN, LDN, Memphis-based dietitian and owner of Schilling Nutrition Therapy, LLC, Question: Does this information change you perspective on juicing and the bad behind it or would you still consider doing this cleanse to “detox yourself” http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20679227,00.html http://www.doctoroz.com/article/joe-cross-3-day-weekend-juice-cleanse http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Juice-Cleanses-Healthy-20145342 |
