“Detox” diets may be all the rage, but experts say they’re not necessary and may be unhealthy.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers advice on “cleansing” your body naturally:

• Drink plenty of fresh water.
• Eat five-to-nine servings daily of fruits and vegetables. Opt for green and leafy veggies, plus berries, leeks, turmeric, onions, garlic, artichokes, milk thistle and green tea.
• Eat plenty of whole grains, nuts and seeds for fiber.
• If your diet lacks any nutrients, consider a supplement.
• Fight gut-microbe toxins by eating fermented foods, such as kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi and yogurt. Or take a quality probiotic.
