Gross… yes! True… no way.

I just received the 48th email this week about how my colon may have 25 pounds of undigested waste that could be easily cleared by drinking a berry potion. This would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. People actually believe, and buy into, this garbage.

It seems almost every internet, MLM, or infomercial based detox product propagates the lie about waste building up in your system. Do you think your body could actually function with 25 pounds – or even 5 pounds – of undigested food or waste rotting away inside you? You would be rushed to the emergency room if you didn’t die first! Elderly people sometimes become “impacted” – a severe case of constipation. It’s a serious condition that requires immediate attention. Doctors don’t wait around for them to accumulate a pound or more of waste and then “detox” them. 

So before you believe another false claim of promising easy answers for weight loss, I beg you to use some common sense. Our bodies have evolved by magnificent design to naturally detox. They don’t need help. Through our 3 natural detox systems — perspiration, expiration, and elimination (which includes our amazing liver, kidneys, and colon) – we get rid of the junk that doesn’t serve us. If you still have “build up” it’s probably fat!

Here’s a simple recipe for a detox that actually works: 1. Eat a balanced diet. 2. Drink plenty of water. 3. Move your body enough every day to cause a sweat. 4. Get a good night’s sleep. That’s it – simple, but definitely not marketable. I bet you won’t see an email or infomercial wanting you to buy that!
