The diets have exponentially evolved in recent years. The importance given to overweight and obesity at the moment is a priority since it is associated with many pathologies. Hence, more and more appear every year, and lately, the  Detox Diet is gaining a lot of strength.

But, the patients who are most successful in their results are those who are concerned about their appearance. The patient should make efforts to obtain a  youthful appearance than to improve his hypertension or diabetes.

Dieting today is a priority for many people. We want to look good, we want to please the opposite sex, we want to dress in style. All this leads to wanting to be thin. However, for a doctor, what matters is the patient’s health.

The doctor should get the patient excited about his appearance. However, its main function and objective are to make you understand that what we see on the outside is happening on the inside. If on the outside I see a younger person, inside I am also younger.

This concept of youth is a concept fundamentally of health. A young person is usually healthier. How can we get to be younger, healthier, better emotionally? With detox diets toxins that interfere in the normal function of our cells are eliminated, there may be a better functioning and cellular exchange, in short, that the body works as when it is younger.

The detox diet aims to eliminate toxins and only with that you are already healthier. The consequence of detoxification is a reduction in weight. As a doctor, when I have a patient explaining to me that he wants to lose weight, the assessment I make is what happens to his body, what imbalances there are, how to get him to turn it around and make it work again as before getting fat.

To lose weight stably, you have to cleanse yourself, you cannot stably lose weight over time if our body does not cleanse itself. We cannot forget the foundations of our biology and our physiology, we have to clean up so that the basic unit works, our cells have all the functions of our body, but in miniature, therefore we have to facilitate those functions by making our cells stay in a healthy environment, and for this, we have to remove the “garbage” that is around it.

Detox diets serve to lose weight stably and to understand why we gain weight. This type of diet requires medical control since it is necessary to understand a series of biochemical concepts that we cannot ignore. In this way, the patient does not go hungry and at the same time is perfectly nourished.

Large obesities have mechanisms involved that escape the exclusive concept of detoxification. It is much more complex and the treatment too, and surgery becomes necessary.
