The Today show took a look at the trend and spoke with Dr. Ian Smith, the author of The 4 Day Diet, about it.  He explained that many of the popular cleanses that a lot of celebrities use are not very healthy.  He went on to say that in order to really detoxify your body, you need to stimulate your liver.   A nutritionist for the New York Giants said that our biggest problem is that we bog down our diet by overeating bad food. 

The main suggestion is that, instead of taking supplements or doing colonics/laxatives, we need to help our body cleanse itself naturally by eating nutrient-rich foods.  It was an interesting segment (even though the experts seemed to be speaking over each other) so, if this is a topic that you’ve been wondering about, it’s worth watching!
