What Is A Panchakarma Cleanse?
Cleanses and detoxes are a popular phenomenon among celebrities. Once we hear how much weight they have lost or how rejuvenated, they feel after, the general public is quick to jump on the bandwagon. It is common for celebs to go on cleanses, especially before an award season or a magazine spread, to shed a couple of pounds so they can look and feel their best. Kim Kardashian went on a Sunfare Cleanse before the Met Gala because she was a bit nervous about fitting into a skintight dress. In this 10-day cleanse, Kardashian only had liquid meals for three out of the ten days to lose six or seven pounds and said, “At the final fitting, I was worried it wouldn’t fit. When I tried it on, though, it fit like a glove. It was perfection!” (via Bravo TV).
Cleanses are super popular to reset your mind and body. It mainly consists of going on a liquid diet and limiting solid foods to give your digestive system a break and flush out all the toxins from your body. Ashley Reaver, a California-based dietician, told Healthline, “Detoxes are advertised as a means to rid the body of excess toxins, rest the digestion and immune systems, and restart [your] metabolism.” Cleanses help you achieve quick results and can be a great short-term solution, but Everyday Health reported that there is no evidence that cleanses give you glowing skin or more energy. Yet, cleanses continue to fascinate us and celebs.
