Our food isn't the same as what our ancestors ate, but looking at different religions like Muslim, Christian orthodox, Buddhism and others these religions all have something in common fasting.

They may fast for different reasons but it is also to cleanse the body from toxins. Isn't that what also the fad diets of Detoxing, Cleansing & Juicing do also.

With more doing research on detoxing and cleansing over the last few weeks, just scratching a little of the surface with fasting I really don't know much about it, but know people that do it for religious reasons.

Looking at the fad diets of detoxing and cleansing are people over doing the length it should be done for?

Should people that want to detox, cleanse, juice their system be looking more at fasting as it's been around for way longer with huge followers that have a more understanding of the foods they intake than experimenting with our systems?

Is cleansing, detoxing, fasting meant to be followed by a maintenance diet after wards to keep your system ticking and working?

In many of these fad diets there are foods that shouldn't be eaten at lengths of time, or should be prepared differently than they are being shown, like raw cabbage and raw beetroot apparently these can harm your liver if you eat too much or don't prepare them right, after eating both of them raw and not preparing them right, I did suffer pains in the liver.

In any diet you do everything should be in moderation and foods should be rotated so you are not eating the same thing over and over again, but can detoxing, cleansing, juicing be harmful to our body's if we do it for lengths of time, with fasting it's done for between 15 - 30 day's with eating light meals at certain times cutting out certain foods.
