How Beneficial is a Health Detox?

A health detox can be beneficial for recuperation. The human body is continuously fighting with the toxic components and maintaining the homeostasis or equilibrium to make you feel healthier (Michaels, 2016). Too many poisonous substances like high calorie foods and alcohol can be burdening on the body. Although a health detox isn’t always easy, the final product of a healthier brain and body can make it worthwhile.

There Are 3 Main Stages of a Health Detox:

          1.) Production of water-soluble components:

Fat-soluble toxins are converted into intermediate, less fat-soluble substances that are more reactive than previous compounds. Antioxidant nutrients of the body neutralize the free radicals produced by Phase I enzymes.

          2.) Neutralization of water-soluble intermediate compounds:

The conversion of reactive intermediated produced in the Phase I reactions takes place. Phase II reactions combine the reactive toxic-water soluble compounds to the non-toxic-water-soluble compounds to make their excretion easy.

          3.) Excretion of Neutralized/Conjugated Compounds:

Conjugated Phase II compounds are released into bile for excretion. Dietary fiber attaches to biliary and intestinal substances and helps in excretion.

1.) To improve health and maintain the body’s equilibrium.

2.) To make a proper body function.
