3 Misconceptions About Juice Cleanses

The video discusses juice cleanses, which are popular for detoxifying the body and losing weight. However, these claims lack scientific backing. The body naturally detoxifies through the liver and kidneys, and juice cleanses do not enhance this process. Myths about digestive health, such as the need to cleanse intestines, are debunked. While juice fasts may lead to temporary weight loss, it is mostly water weight and glycogen depletion. For healthy individuals, short-term juice fasts are unlikely to cause harm but are not effective for detoxification or metabolism rebooting.
