Bad teeth and gastrointestinal problems: what are the downsides of the most popular diet

According to some sources, the number of diets existing in the world exceeds 28 thousand.

The drinking diet, which is quite popular among those losing weight, has its place in this “pantheon”.

The problem is that not all people who choose this option for weight loss know about its disadvantages.

However, such a diet can have serious negative consequences for the body.

It is worth starting with the fact that a drinking diet involves eating food exclusively in liquid form.

In turn, digestion is a multi-stage process, in which chewing food plays a special role. When we chew, impulses are sent to the brain that signal that it is time to produce saliva and digestive juices with the enzymes they contain.

In addition, chewing food has a beneficial effect on the blood supply to the gums, which, as you might guess, is important for maintaining healthy teeth.

And in general, a drinking diet is a serious stress for the whole body.

Such drastic measures can be harmful to a person, especially if he suffers from any chronic disease.

If you do decide to try the liquid diet, limit it to two days.

Longer periods of time – weeks or even months – are guaranteed to harm your health, exceeding the expected benefits of losing weight.

But even in this case, it is recommended to follow this diet only for medical reasons and under the supervision of a specialist.
