Side Effects
While detox diets can provide many health benefits, there are also several possible side effects that you need to know. Firstly, the fasting period can limit your calorie intake, which eventually leads to irritability and exhaustion. In the long run, it would trigger electrolyte imbalance as well as mineral and vitamin deficiencies. A few detox programs would increase the risk of overdosing on diuretics, laxatives, and supplements. This is because there is still a lack of monitoring and regulation. To ensure safety, always seek professional advice from your doctor or healthcare provider. [10]
