What is a Detox?
A Detox is the “elimination of toxins by a living organism”. Toxins are elements present in excess in the body that come from food or pollution.
Is green tea Detox?
We tend to naively think that drinking green tea is a Detox in itself. At the risk of disappointing you, so-called “Detox” herbal teas and teas alone will not enable you to cleanse your body and liver or eliminate toxins.
Indeed, green tea is not really a Detox food. However, green tea still has benefits for your body thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants (catechins). While it is not Detox in the strict sense of the term, green tea may have an interesting draining action for eliminating toxins by stimulating the kidneys. Another notable benefit of green tea: it allows you to increase your daily water intake and therefore optimise your hydration.
It may therefore help facilitate the elimination of bodily waste while contributing to good hydration thanks to the hot water in a cup of green tea. Not bad, is it?
A successful Detox?
HYDRATION, OR THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING SUFFICIENT WATER LEVELS IN YOUR BODY
Let us remember that the main aim of a Detox is to stay well hydrated, as drinking is the best way to flush out toxins. For an effective Detox, hydration is key: 1.5 to 2 litres per day are recommended. Your liver will thank you, as dehydration can directly affect the liver's detoxification capacity. The diuretic action of green tea may be good for your liver, as it helps flush out pollutants during a Detox.
This is why green tea is also said to be a slimming ally.
FOOD: HEALTHY AND VARIED
In addition to green tea, if you are looking to do a Detox, limit fatty and sugary foods or those containing many additives. Also watch your alcohol consumption. Finally, favour a diet based on fruit, vegetables and healthy ingredients.
Why do a Detox?
If Detox is on trend, do not start one without medical advice. It is obviously advisable to consult a doctor before undertaking a Detox. Changing your habits is never insignificant for the body.
But what is the point of a Detox? A Detox could relieve certain organs overworked by an unhealthy lifestyle. Some of our organs, such as the liver, kidneys and intestines, are heavily used and can become tired. A Detox could help with digestive and skin problems, allergies, a weakened immune system, urinary infections…
