GOOD OR BAD - Fruit Detox Cleanse

 Is a Fruit Cleanse Detox Good?

Fruits are packed with natural sugar in the form of fructose and many vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene. Some research even shows fruits can reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.

Therefore, Fruits are purely organic. The foods we eat from fast foods and whatnot, you're harming your body with those toxic chemicals and nutrients.

See - Fruits contain fiber, which can help lower your cholesterol and encourage regular bowel movements. 

Which helps with the detoxing/cleansing process. It's important to remove toxic buildup but nourish the body afterward. So, fruits in this situation are beneficial because they're loaded with proper nutrition to provide healthy nourishment.

Fruit is naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. This makes it perfect for detoxing. Not overeating, nor accumulating any toxic buildup.

A Fruit Cleanse works by:

It gives your digestive system a break from overprocessed foods; lets low-calorie, fiber-rich fruits (and some vegetables) clean your system; and puts your body into fat-burning mode. Cleansing and releasing toxic, stagnated buildup, and more.

Many fruits contain vital nutrients such as potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate, all of which help revitalize and cleanse the body.

Foods that fruitarians are allowed to eat include:

• Acid fruits: Citrus, cranberries, pineapples 
• Subacid fruits: cherries, raspberries, figs 
• Sweet fruits:  grapes, melons, bananas 
• Oily fruits:  coconuts, olives, avocados
• Vegetable fruits: Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash
• Nuts: Hazelnuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, walnuts 
• Seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, squash
• Drinks: Coconut water, fresh fruit juices, and water

Fruits contain several bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity (vitamins, minerals, fiber, polyphenols, and other phytochemicals). These compounds might reduce oxidative stress and inflammation which are major contributors to liver steatosis.

Con's Of A Fruit Diet

Fruits will be deficient in nutrients, including protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B (including vitamin B12) and D, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids

Those types of nutrients the body needs in order to remain healthy. You cannot 100% rely on Fruits without being deficient and prone to health issues.

Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acid, and potassium (mackerel, salmon, cod liver, flaxseed, tuna, eggs)

Beef, fortified cereals, liver, tuna, chicken, lamb, and spinach contain B, B12, Vitamins, and Zinc.

"Fruit makes a healthy addition to any diet, but alone can't meet all your nutritional needs. An all fruit-diet may lead to malnutrition, bowel discomfort and changes in weight."

 

Summary

Fruits are very healthy and nutritious for us. It helps cleanse, detox, and revitalize the body. Improving functions, hormones, and so forth. Enabling the body to restore itself to become efficient again.

However, fruits do lack certain vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in order to remain healthy.

I wouldn't recommend Living on Fruits, but I highly advise eating them on a daily basis for health regulation and to cleanse the body from toxic materials.

So, if you're trying to lose weight - a fruit cleanse can work. Don't starve yourself though as it could be very harmful to an individual.

Don't become obsessive with the fruit diet - your body needs nutrients such as Protein and other sources to become properly nourished (as mentioned before, You need vegetables and meat in order to provide proper nourishment).

Make sure to have a variety of fruits within your diet - the more fruits - the better. An array of fruits provide different nutrients, therefore, better nourishment.
