Hello, I'm nutritionist Son Sejong
Everyone, have you ever heard of detox juice?
(Detox juice famous for its detox effect) Detox juice was once very popular
because it was said to be effective
for dieting due to its detox effect
Many people still choose it
as a diet drink
But is it really effective for dieting?
The answer is
NO
To be exact
detox juice is not a juice
made for dieting
(Today's topic: Detox juice) I will tell you the reason why from now on
(Is detox juice effective for dieting?)
First, what is detox juice?
If you search for detox juice
You will see many names, such as
cleanse juice, detox juice, and ABC juice
(It's known to remove toxins from the body and help lose weight) Although the names are slightly different
They are all known to be effective for dieting
by removing toxins from the body
However, detox juice is
(It's health juice, not a medicine) not a medicine that has a medical function
beyond vegetable juice or fruit juice
(Liver is responsible for detoxification in the body) In particular, the liver handles detoxification functions in our body
If the liver is unable to detoxify
(A doctor's prescription is required at the hospital) You should go to the hospital for a test
and receive a diagnosis from a doctor instead of drinking juice
Then does detox juice
have no effect?
That's not true
(Don't interpret detox juice in a medical sense) Nutritional detoxification of detox juice
should not be interpreted as medical detoxification
What this means is that
(Decreased vegetable consumption compared to the past) modern people have consumed a lot less vegetables than in the past
(Modern people are easily exposed to bad food and environment) In particular, compared to the past
people are exposed to more processed foods, junk food, desserts, fructose, alcohol
and other foods and environments that are bad for the body
which increases the amount of
active oxygen that causes toxins
(Active oxygen: Corrosive substances produced during metabolic processes of cells) If active oxygen continues, inflammation builds up in our body
(Destroys normal cells, damages DNA, and increases inflammation) and becomes the cause of various chronic diseases
This can be thought of as
a metaphorical expression of detoxification
which means that the good ingredients in plants
(Expression in comparison to detoxification) such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, relieve it
You may have also
heard of phytochemicals
(Phytochemicals: Plant-based chemicals with physiological activity that are helpful to health) Phytochemicals are plant-based chemicals
(Strengthens the immune system, mitigates inflammation, helps with hormonal regulation, slows down again, etc.) It is said to help your health by promoting metabolism
and is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables
with primary-colored skins, such as red and yellow
To consume fruits and veggies more easily to help strengthen your body
health juice, a.k.a. detox juice has arisen
When you consume
fruits and veggies in detox juice
It helps with inflammation, constipation, and blood chloesterol
and strenghtens with immune system
It's not good to think in a black or white way
that this juice helps with losing weight
(Detox juice gets rid of bodily waste) Detox juice helps with wasting what's bad in our body
and makes our body stronger
(Partly helps with losing weight in the sense) So in that process, it may help with a slight weight lost
(Detox juice's absorption increases with heat?)
(How to drink detox juice) Secondly, we'll talk about how to drink detox juice
The biggest difference between
detox and health drink is that
(Detox juice is made with heated food instead of raw) you don't put raw fruits and veggies in a mixer
But you heat them once then put them in a mixer
The reason why we're doing this is
Because when you heat fruits and veggies and blend them
the absorption rate increases up to 90%
But this is not scientifically proven
But from a nutritionist's point of view
(Decreased nutrient benefits when they're heated) when you're boiling them in a heated water
they easily lose their nutrients
(Recommending to heat them in steam) So I recommend you to heat them in steam
(Good to eat fruits and veggies raw) It's best to eat fruits and veggies as is
But when you just eat them as is
(Difficult to absorb all the nutrients due to hard cell wall) due to hard cell wall structure
not all nutrients get to absorb in your body
and they just get released
What this means is
(Herbivores have ability to break down the cell walls) Herbivores mainly eat plants or grass
which means they have the ability to break down plants' cell walls
(Can fully absorb al the nutrients in the plants) that's why they get all sorts of nutrients in the plants
But humans on the other hand
we mainly eat carbs
(Can digest carbs and protein) we're turned to digest carbs and protein than those animals
So, to eat all the nutrients
of fruits and veggies
(Recommending raw or low heat cooking method) you should eat them both raw
or cooked in low heat
(Peels have lots of nutrients too) And the peels of fruits and veggies also got lots of nutrients
but the peels can ruin the texture
(Use heat to compliment the texture) So it's good to heat them a bit to compliment the texture
If you heat them above 70 degrees
the vitamin and nutrients lose their benefits
It is best to eat it by boiling or steaming it
for less than 5 to 10 minutes at around 60 degrees
(The recipe for detox juice is different by age?)
(Detox juice recipe) Lastly, let's look at the recipe for detox juice
If you search detox juice
there are so many recipes
It's actually not easy for consumers to judge which one is good
The main ingredients for detox juice are
carrots, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, apples, and bananas
(The recipe for detox juice is different by age?) But when I looked into it, the recipe was slightly different by age
In your 30s, it's good to add lemon to help you lose weight
In your 50s, it's good to add tofu and kiwi to supplement protein and strengthen your stamina
In your 70s, tofu and blueberries are recommended for hormone management
There's a certain point
about supplementing nutrients
that are lacking by age
(You should choose based on your personal health condition) But individuals have different health conditions
So I can't say that this is the correct answer
For example, you would add
a lot of lemon as detox juice
For those with a sensitive stomach
eating lemons frequently
(Can cause Stomach soreness and digestive disorders) might lead to discomfort or digestive problems
I think there are people
who are frustrated about how to eat it
(Mr. Son's tip on making detox juice) Since I'm a nutritionist, I'll give you some tips to use
when making detox juice
First of all, I recommend that you put
cruciferous vegetables or paprika in the composition of detox juice
Broccoli, cabbage, bokchoy, rapeseed, and cabbage
are representative cruciferous vegetables
They are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta carotene
that remove chronic inflammation accumulated in our body
and helps strengthen immunity
Second, paprika is also full of
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin C
so it is very nutritious that helps strengthen immunity, skin health, and eye health
Especially, paprika's texture is really good
so it's good to make detox juice
Second, you have to drink detox juice for at least 3 to 6 months
to feel changes in your body
To put it simply, you need to eat this much
So that you can change into a healthy body
(To the minimum of fruits with high sugar content) So, when you make a recipe
It's better to minimize fruits with high sugar content
Lastly, if you're going to eat it as a light meal
It's a good idea to eat it with nuts
or protein powder rich in omega-3
In addition, it is recommended to add fruits
such as bananas, grapefruits, spinach rich in various nutrients
apples, oils, colabies, and kale
It would be great if it's mixed properly
(It's dangerous to drink detox juice instead of a meal) But you should be aware
that if you only have detox juice for three meals, a whole day
your health rhythm can be broken
So the best is
to drink before your meal
Then detox juice
makes you feel full
so that you can eat less
It can make your digestion
and make going to the bathroom easier
(Mr. Son’s tips about detox juice)
(Add cruciferous vegetables & paprika Drink before you have your meal Have it for at least 3~6 months Add nuts or protein powder to replace your meal)

We talked about detox juice today, how was it?
In conclusion, only drinking detox juice
doesn't have good effect on a diet
Right?
Basically with a regular lifestyle
and exercise, drinking detox juice
will make your body healthy through synergy
Most of all, fruits and vegetables
are known as good for us
(Excessive intake would adversely affects the body) But if you get only certain ingredients for a long time
it can give your health bad influence
I once said that if you consist on a one-food diet
that will affect your health as nutritional imbalance
Always take various ingredients and nutrients
in balance, and you should remember this
(Check the ingredients of detox juice on sale) One more thing! Detox juice on sale
may contain much sugar or synthetic additives
If you take those for a long time
It may affect your body
So, make sure to check the nutritional content thoroughly
before buying
(If you have any health questions, feel free to ask in the comments!) Based on what you learned today, choose the detox juice that suits you best
and make your healthy diet with the one
See you next time
Bye
