“There is an expression in biology: you lose what you don’t use. If you don’t keep your liver healthy for a while, for example by consuming herbal tea, it will actually work less hard.”

Mindfulness
According to Witkamp, detoxification can help you live more consciously. “We call it mindfulness. You pay much more attention to what you put in your mouth. For example, you’re more likely to think: “I’ll eat one cookie, not five.” Being conscious about the things you do contributes to a healthy lifestyle. If you do this over a longer period of time, you have better control over yourself.”
“Detoxifying in this way can be beneficial, but you can also just choose to consciously start your day with a healthy smoothie instead of five sandwiches with a thick layer of butter and sprinkles.”

The nutritionist also emphasizes the downsides of detoxification. “If you eat a one-sided diet for a long time, it can lead to a nutrient deficiency. Imagine subsisting only on healthy juices. You may get plenty of vitamin C, but that’s not all you need. For example, you lack proteins and vitamins B12 and B6. These nutrients are definitely important if you exercise regularly.”

“I’m not fundamentally against a short ‘detox’. But you don’t detoxify with it. You can fast for two days or subsist on herbal tea – if you can hold out. But I wouldn’t do it for a week, otherwise you have to specifically supplement certain vitamins and other nutrients.”
According to Witkamp, you shouldn’t be tempted by all the possible special detox methods that are being sold. “It doesn’t have to be expensive at all. For example, would you like to drink juice? Then do it yourself with fresh vegetables and fruits and don’t be tempted to buy expensive products. Sometimes when I hear sales pitches for detox methods, I think, ‘Guys, just act normal’.”
Tips
And there are countless other ways to reboot your body. “Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and do something about your stress levels. Yoga and relaxation exercises help with this,” advises Witkamp. “Go outside and make sure you eat enough fruits and vegetables. Also pay attention to your social health: for example, do something fun with friends more often.”
