The idea of a detox cleanse can seem pretty alluring. Lose weight very quickly. Even celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kat Von D have done these risky diets.
Why are detoxes so hazardous to your health? We’ve gathered the facts from Health.com about why detox might not be worth it:
- Our bodies already have natural detoxifiers. Our kidneys, liver and colon already serve this purpose!
- Detoxes, such as the Master Cleanse, can diminish nutrients our bodies need and can be very harmful.
- It can actual cause more toxins! Since your body is trying to burn up so much fat, toxins are released. This can cause bad breathe, nausea and even death in some cases.
If you are feeling weighed down, try eating more fruits and vegetables. The fiber in these super foods will help clear you out in a healthy way!
Has anyone out there had a bad experience with a cleanse?

It’s that time of year again! Youngsters are gearing up to go back to the classroom with that spiffy new lunchbox in tow. However, packing a healthy lunch can be a challenge, especially if you have a picky eater!
A recent study from the University of Texas at Austin has revealed that most packed lunches aren’t safe. Most parents do not included ice packs in their child’s lunchbox, and the ones who do don’t provide as much as they should. Even if your child’s perishable items (like yogurt, cheese and deli meats) stay cool, they most likely aren’t staying cold. This temperature difference can cause a breeding ground for germs and cause your child to come home sick.
There are easy steps you can take to preventing this. Put your child’s beverage in the freezer the night before, it will serve as a second ice pack. Refrigerate items that may not necessarily need it, like oranges. Once again, it will help keep the lunchbox cold. Also, make sure to purchase a well insulated lunchbox for your kiddo. Thin plastic and tin lunchboxes may be cheaper but aren’t nearly as healthy.
How do you keep your child’s food from spoiling between home and school? Which of these tips will you use this school year?
