Question by mikeburman11: Is it possible to detoxify my body while trying to gain weight?
I am a 21 year old, 6’2″ tall male, weighing 181 pounds.
I’m rather skinny, and I’m trying to put on weight – about 10 lbs.

However, I’ve recently been concerned about my body’s overall health, for a few reasons (past years of eating more than my fair share of daily fast food, and lots of it………..as well as the fact that I’ll be off of my parents health insurance, and thus I want to keep any potential health costs low).

Is it possible for me to GAIN WEIGHT, while trying to DETOXIFY my body?

I’ve heard of diets to detox your body, but all of the ones I’m aware of include skimpy meals or food intake.

I’m currently on a high-calorie/high-protein diet (since it’s otherwise EXTREMELY difficult, if not, impossible for me to put on weight, no matter how much I eat).

It’s already super hard for me to put on weight, and I have gained about 7 or 8 pounds in the last 4 months or so, and don’t want to start all over again.

Is it possible? If so, please give explanation.

Answer by Susan S
The popular concept of “detoxifying” the body has no basis in fact. It seems people feel more virtuous and therefore “cleaner” after major diarrhea and a lot of urination with little food intake.
Your liver and kidneys detox your body, 24/7. Any arterial plaque from eating bad fats will not go away on a “detox” diet. Exercise will help you have healthy arteries.
To be healthy, eat plenty of vegetables and eat fish twice a week. Get a lot of fiber in your diet, and avoid saturated fats, fast food, and packaged junk snacks.

When you detox your body, you can garner great health benefits, reversing the damage that living with toxins can cause. Toxins are all around you – in the air you breathe, in the chemicals you spray for bugs or air fresheners, the preservatives and dyes in your food and even in your shampoo! A full body detox is your only option to regain the energy you once had that the toxins have been depriving you of unwittingly for so long.


Feeling tired, even after a good night’s sleep, can be caused by a build-up of toxins and skin blemishes, headaches, bloating, slow digestion and lower immunity are other repercussions. You can detox your body and recover all that energy and zest for life that may have been missing. There are a number of ways you can detox your body and while some may be more appetizing or easier than others, you might want to experiment a bit to find the best solutions that fit your body and lifestyle.


Dietary Ways


You can detox your body by changing your eating habits and revamping your food choices for a healthier diet full of natural and organic items. Shun any processed foods and refined sugars as they are not only toxic to your body but they add many unwanted pounds. Choose only foods that occur naturally in nature so as to be sure your food choices are healthy and sound. Ensure that you get healthy doses of vitamins and minerals in addition to antioxidants that are heart healthy and boost energy and metabolism.


Your liver is the primary organ that helps break down toxins so that the body can eliminate them naturally. To detox your body, your food choices should reflect ingredients that best aid in liver function such as vitamin C, fiber foods such as grains, fruit and vegetables and even herbs like dandelion and green tea. In addition, drinking several quarts of water per day can detox your body as well, especially in conjunction with positive dietary changes.


Other Ways


Deep breathing exercises introduce higher levels of oxygen in your body and are a great addition in the process to detox your body. When higher levels of oxygen circulate, your brain has more clarity and your other organs benefit as well. Engaging in activities that promote sweat is another way to detox your body, as sweat is one of the best ways to rid your body of toxins.


Water therapy is a great way to detox your body whether it is alternating hot and cold showers for a period of time or even indulging in an ionized water foot spa. The foot spa can work to draw out the toxins through the pores using ionized water, which will turn colors to show that impurities are being drawn out.


Reducing stress is the final way you can detox your body and it is also one of the hardest to do, thanks to higher costs of living and other personal worries. Meditation, biofeedback, imagery and yoga are just a few ways to detox your body and help reduce the stress in your life. Not every solution works may work for you, so be sure to experiment, allowing enough time to see which ones will work.
