Health Trends To Avoid When You Are A Luna

Trends pop up on social media with all sorts of different methods for weight loss or acne. If you have done these before, you might notice that you may have a different effect after drinking these viral health drinks. Unfortunately, these might do more harm than good and may not even give you the results you seek.




If You are a Luna Type, Avoid These Three Health Trends




  • Watermelon water detox for glowing skin- Cleaning the gut is crucial to have glowing skin. For the Luna type, watermelons are considered to be too cold for the stomach. Since the gut is connected to the exterior health of the skin, the gut can become excessively cold, leading to dry skin. Avoid drinking this every day or throw in some Luna-friendly citrus fruits such as orange for balance.  




  • Cucumber, mint, and crushed ice detox for body cleanse- This is a standard drink to do a total body cleanse after a night out or a month of excessive eating. However, this may do the opposite if your interior core is cool. The cucumber is cold and packed with water. Mint is also considered to be a cold herb. 



The most important thing to look out for is crushed ice. Ice can be detrimental to the core and stomach, causing the meridian pathways to decrease in temperature and become blocked by the cold Qi called Yin. A good substitute is to eliminate the ice and sprinkle in a dash of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. Balance is key. 




  • Papaya, mango, and yogurt detox for weight loss- To put it simply, all three of these ingredients would make a great smoothie, but will definitely reduce the temperature in your system. Side effects from dairy and even Greek yogurt can cause bloating if consumed too often.
