Do you buy expensive green juice to clean your body after a big party?
2
Or do you stop eating for three days and only drink lemon water to detox?
3
Welcome back to Everyday English Talk.
4
I'm Ben.
5
And I'm Anna.
6
Hello everyone.
7
Today, we are talking about a very interesting health topic.
8
It is a big question for many people.
9
Exactly.
10
We are looking at detox drinks.
11
Do they really work, or are we just wasting our money?
12
My friends spend so much money on these special drinks to clean their bodies.
13
Do you believe in detox drinks, Ben?
14
Oh, I definitely think they are a waste of time and money.
15
Let's get into it.
16
So, let's talk about the problem first.
17
When I look at social media,
18
everyone is doing a three-day juice cleanse.
19
Have you seen this, Ben?
20
Yes, I see it all the time.
21
People buy five or six bottles of special green juice,
22
and they do not eat any real food for three whole days.
23
Exactly.
24
They do not chew anything.
25
They only drink these expensive juices.
26
They hope it will help them lose weight quickly and clean out their stomachs.
27
But how do they feel during those three days?
28
Do they feel healthy and full of energy?
29
Not at all.
30
My friend tried it last month.
31
She felt terrible.
32
She was always hungry, very tired,
33
and her head hurt a lot.
34
She was also very angry because she had no energy to work or play.
35
That sounds like a terrible experience.
36
Why do people do this to themselves?
37
There is a very big misconception here.
38
A wrong idea that many people believe about their own bodies.
39
What is the wrong idea?
40
Why do people want to drink so much green juice?
41
People think their body is like a dirty, messy room.
42
They think their stomach and blood are full of dangerous trash from eating fast food,
43
sugar, and bad fats.
44
Yes, I hear people say that a lot they feel dirty on the inside after eating a big pizza or a hamburger.
45
Right.
46
And because they feel dirty,
47
they believe they must pour special magic water or expensive detox juice into their bodies.
48
They think the juice will wash away all the trash,
49
just like soap washes a dirty floor.
50
That makes sense in my head.
51
If my car is dirty,
52
I use special soap to wash it.
53
So if my body is dirty from bad food,
54
I need special juice to wash it.
55
It sounds logical, but it is completely wrong.
56
The human body is not a car,
57
and it is not a dirty room.
58
We do not need magic soap to clean our insides.
59
Really?
60
So my friends are starving for 3 days and paying $50 for juice,
61
and it does not even wash their bodies?
62
Exactly.
63
It is a very sad situation.
64
People suffer because they do not understand how their bodies actually work.
65
We need to look at the real science to find the truth.
66
Let's find out how the body really cleans itself.
67
Welcome back, everyone.
68
Let's look at the facts.
69
Do we really need to buy expensive detox juice to clean our bodies?
70
I am very curious, Ben.
71
Please tell me the truth.
72
If the juice does not clean my body, what does?
73
The amazing truth is that your body already has a natural cleaning system.
74
You do not need to buy anything from a store.
75
Your body is born with the perfect tools to clean itself every single minute of the day.
76
A natural cleaning system?
77
What does that mean?
78
Does my body have its own washing machine inside?
79
Yes, basically.
80
Your liver and your kidneys are your natural filters.
81
They work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
82
They take your blood, clean out all the bad things,
83
and push the waste out of your body when you go to the bathroom.
84
Wow.
85
So my liver and kidneys are already doing the job for free?
86
A $10 bottle of green juice cannot do a better job than my own liver?
87
Exactly.
88
If your liver stops working,
89
a bottle of celery juice cannot save you.
90
You would need to go to a hospital immediately.
91
Your body is incredibly smart and strong.
92
But Ben, I have a question.
93
My friends say they feel so much better and their stomachs look smaller after a three-day juice detox.
94
If the juice does not clean them,
95
why do they feel so light and healthy?
96
That is a great question.
97
The answer is very simple.
98
It is not because the juice has magic powers.
99
It is because during those three days,
100
they cut down on all the bad food.
101
Oh, so because they are only drinking juice,
102
they automatically cut down on eating pizza,
103
fried chicken, and sweet cakes?
104
Yes.
105
When you cut down on eating heavy,
106
greasy food and stop drinking alcohol,
107
your stomach gets a break.
108
Your body feels lighter because you are not putting junk food into it.
109
You stop doing the bad things, so you feel better.
110
That makes perfect sense.
111
If I stop hitting my head against a wall,
112
my head will stop hurting.
113
It is not because of a magic juice.
114
So, what is the real solution?
115
How can we help our bodies stay clean without starving?
116
I have three very simple and cheap solutions for you.
117
Solution number one is to simply hydrate your body with normal water.
118
Just normal water?
119
I do not need to put expensive powders or special salt in it?
120
No, plain water is perfect.
121
When you hydrate your body by drinking enough water every day,
122
you help your liver and kidneys do their job.
123
Water helps flush the bad things out easily.
124
Just drink water when you are thirsty.
125
I can definitely do that.
126
It is free and easy.
127
What is solution number two?
128
Is eating fruit better than drinking juice?
129
Yes, absolutely.
130
Stop making juice and start eating whole fruits and vegetables.
131
When you put an apple in a juice machine,
132
you throw away the most important part, the fiber.
133
Fiber?
134
What is that?
135
Why is it so important for my stomach?
136
Fiber is the tough part of the plant that your body cannot easily break down.
137
Think of fiber like a little broom inside your stomach and intestines.
138
It sweeps the inside of your body and pushes all the solid waste out.
139
Oh, I love that idea.
140
So if I just drink the juice,
141
I throw away the broom.
142
My stomach has no broom to clean itself.
143
Exactly.
144
You just drink the sugar water of the fruit,
145
which makes you hungry again very fast.
146
But if you chew the whole apple,
147
you get the fiber, you feel full,
148
and your stomach stays clean and healthy.
149
That is brilliant.
150
I will stop buying juice and start buying real apples and carrots.
151
Now, what is the third and final solution?
152
The third solution is the most important one for long-term health.
153
You need to stop doing crazy three-day diets.
154
Instead, you must build a balanced diet every single day.
155
A balanced diet?
156
Does that mean I can never eat a hamburger or a piece of cake again?
157
I love cake.
158
No, you can still eat cake sometimes.
159
A balanced diet means you eat a good mix of healthy things most of the time.
160
You eat fresh meat, plenty of green vegetables,
161
good rice and whole fruits.
162
You give your body the energy it needs.
163
So, a balanced diet is about eating good food every day,
164
not just drinking juice for three days and then eating junk food for a month.
165
Exactly.
166
You do not need to rescue your body with a detox if you treat it well every day.
167
Give your body a balanced diet,
168
drink plenty of water to hydrate,
169
and eat lots of fiber.
170
Your amazing natural liver will do the rest of the work for you.
171
This is the best news ever, Ben.
172
I am going to save so much money,
173
no more expensive green juice for me.
174
I am going to eat a real dinner tonight.
175
Enjoy your dinner, Anna.
176
Just remember to chew your food and drink a glass of water.
177
So, let's quickly recap today's episode.
178
Detox drinks do not have magic powers to clean your body.
179
Your body already cleans itself for free.
180
Exactly.
181
Save your money.
182
Just drink normal water and eat healthy food every day.
183
Now, let's review 5 important words from today's talk.
184
Ben, what is number 1?
185
Number 1 is natural.
186
This means something that comes from nature or from your own body,
187
not made by chemicals in a factory.
188
Your liver is a natural filter.
189
Number two is cut down on.
190
This is a very useful phrase.
191
It means to reduce or do less of something.
192
For example, you should cut down on eating fast food to feel better.
193
Number three is hydrate.
194
To hydrate means to give your body enough water.
195
You need to drink water to hydrate your body every day.
196
Number four is fiber.
197
Fiber is the tough part of fruits and vegetables that you chew.
198
It acts like a broom to clean your stomach and keep you full.
199
And the last one, number five, is a balanced diet.
200
This means a healthy, daily eating plan.
201
A balanced diet includes a good mix of meat,
202
vegetables, and fruits every day.
203
That is all for today's episode of Everyday English Talk.
204
We hope you learned something new and useful for your health and your wallet.
205
So, what about you?
206
Will you eat a whole apple today,
207
or will you buy an expensive detox juice?

210

211
And always remember, keep moving, keep smiling.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
