Myths and Legends Revealed: Part 7
Other methods for passing a drug test that people have employed over the years are sometimes simpler to explain away. Fiber is the perfect example of this. Often times, people have believed that a high fiber diet for the week leading up to a drug test would help them pass. The reason people have believed this is because a diet that is high in fiber redirects a greater portion of the fat soluble metabolites present in your digestive tract away from your urinary tract and towards the colon. Meaning that it acts almost like a crossing guard for the foods and liquids leaving your stomach after digestion, what would normally and naturally head towards your kidneys, to then be processed out as urine, is then sent towards the colon to be processed out of your body as fecal matter.
However, while this in theory is a good idea, a high fiber diet will only lower your toxin level, and it will only do this for a short period of time. The effects only last so long as the fiber is still in your system, meaning that if you’re not doing a constant intake of foods that are high in fiber your stomach is not doing a constant inventory of the things leaving it and marking them for where they should go. You only eat so much during the day, but all day long, every moment that you’re awake – and even sometimes while you sleep – your body is burning fat cells that contain the drug metabolites. So long as your body is processing these metabolites they will find their way into your blood stream and urinary tract, and that’s just the truth of the matter.
Besides, a high fiber diet can lead to digestive tract complications that end up keeping you tied to the bathroom all day long. Be careful if you choose to help along a previously purchased Detox Product with a high fiber diet that you don’t overdo it. It’s a good idea to exercise and eat the right foods, but you can just as easily make yourself sick if you don’t follow directions and do a little research before starting any new diet program.
