Signs you may want to consider a healthy detox diet

Think back to the time in your life when you felt the healthiest. How does your current state compare? If you feel significantly less vital, or you've never felt that great to begin with, then it could be time to rethink what you're eating and try a detox.

According to functional medicine practitioner Will Cole, D.C., IFMCP, here are some signs it could be time to make a change:

• You crave sugar and carbs.
• You experience digestive distress like bloating.
• You feel spacey or foggy.
• You're always exhausted.
• Your joints are achy.
• You're stressed, depressed, or anxious.
• You can't lose weight.
• You have trouble sleeping.
• You can't concentrate.

Of course, some of these could also be signs that you are sleep-deprived or dealing with another health condition, so be sure to consult your health care provider if you're concerned.
