Nigerian Celebrities Promoting Detox Tea Don’t Use It, Be careful It Can Damage Your Kidney – Certified Dietitian Warns

Adesina Isabelle,a Nigerian-American certified dietician says that using detoxifying tea for weight loss does more damage to the body.

Adesina, who spoke to NAN on Sunday in Abuja, said that detoxifying tea, also known as detox tea was becoming trending among young adults who want to lose weight.

According to the dietician, the internet health trend, which has become a lucrative business, is not sustainable.

She said that internet health could cause major health problems for people who relied on it for weight loss.

Detox tea is usually taken by some people for weight loss.

“There are various detoxifying tea brands circulating the market and trending on social media.

“Paid celebrities usually help promote these tea brands on their websites, even as they themselves don’t use the products.

“The contents of some of these tea brands are dangerous to the health of the consumer,’’ he said.

According to her, the tea normally requires the consumer to ingest it for a specific period of time.

Adesina said that the concept of detox began with the belief that the body had to be flushed of toxins once in a while to give the liver a resting period and to also clean the liver.

“We know the liver and kidneys help filter the body by taking up toxins and expelling them from the body, but the filter also has to be cleaned.

“This is not true because the consumption of fruits and vegetables already help clean and maintain healthy organs and the liver does a good job by naturally detoxifying the body regularly.
