The following indications are for information purposes EXCLUSIVELY and are not intended to replace the opinion of professional figures such as doctor, nutritionist or dietician, whose intervention is necessary for the prescription and composition of CUSTOMIZED food therapies.
Detox
Supporters of detox diets claim that most foods contain unwanted and harmful health contaminants. Between these:
- Additives (flavor enhancers, dyes, preservatives, etc.)
- Drugs or pesticides (antibiotics, anabolics, antifungals, herbicides, pesticides, etc.)
- Pollutants (lead, arsenic, mercury, ferodo, hydrocarbons, phthalates, etc.).
The detox diet is not a system accepted by the scientific community, which, in addition to challenging its detoxifying capacity, believes it can induce various nutritional deficiencies.
Not surprisingly, sometimes the detox methods require questionable practices such as: therapeutic or controlled fasting, intestinal washing, taking chelating action supplements, strange therapies (such as the electric one), etc.
Any slimming diet, if applied to an obese person with metabolic diseases, causes positive effects on general health. Detox is no exception but, despite being rich in useful nutrients (vitamins, minerals, other antioxidants and phytoelements), it cannot be considered a healthy method.

To properly perform a detox diet, it is first of all necessary to face a cycle of preparation for the actual diet.
This phase is necessary to eliminate all foods and beverages which (according to the detox principle) could trigger a withdrawal reaction:
- Coffee, food or other drinks containing stimulants
- alcohol
- Added sugars (sucrose and fructose), both in packaged foods or in recipes, and at the discretionary level
- Added salt (sodium chloride), both in packaged foods or in recipes, and at discretionary level
- Gluten: this protein is contained in the following cereals: wheat, spelled, spelled, oats, sorghum, barley and rye
- Milk and derivatives
- Synthetic sweeteners
- "Bad" fats: saturated and hydrogenated (rich in chains in trans conformation); they are contained in: butter, animal fat, margarine and bifractionated oils. The foods that contain them are mainly: junk food, fast food and packaged foods.
- Food supplements and unnecessary drugs.
Detox Diet Organization
Features:

- About 50% in fruit (apples, pears, oranges, bananas, berries, strawberries, melon, watermelon, peaches, etc.) and vegetables (carrots, celery, turnips, tomatoes, ginger, green peppers, aubergines, courgettes, etc.).
- About 50% in cereals without gluten (millet, corn, rice, etc.) and derivatives (crackers, biscuits, biscuits, etc.), large oil seeds (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.) and beverages such as white tea and vegetable milk.
