Deep dives

Detox diets: What are they and why are they popular?

Detox diets are popular in the wellness industry and are marketed as a way to cleanse the body of toxins and improve overall health. However, the concept of detoxification is often based on generalizations and misinformation. Many detox products and therapies are sold online, involving fasting, supplements, herbal products, teas, or specific diets. While some people may experience initial changes and identify as healthier individuals, the majority of detox methods lack scientific evidence and do not lead to significant long-term results. The idea of purification and redemption appeals to human psychology, and the marketing power of these products often relies on scientific jargon and half-truths. Overall, people are spending a significant amount of time and money on solutions that do not effectively contribute to their well-being or help them achieve their goals.
