The Ultimate Guide to Detoxifying Juices

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and seen models advocating for Juice Cleanses? Have you thought to yourself, ‘Hmm, that looks nice, plus they say it tastes good!’ only to try to get into it but have no idea where or how to start? Well, consider yourself lucky because this is a guide on Detoxifying Juices and everything surrounding it! So get your cups ready and let’s start cleansing.
First of all, we need to understand what a Juice cleanse is. A juice cleanse, sometimes known as a juice fast, is a type of detox diet where you consume vegetable and fruit juice (often exclusively) for a set period, typically three days. Advocates, like the models mentioned earlier, believe that drinking juice will flush toxins and waste out of your body while providing healing nourishment. However, it’s important to note that experts warn juice cleanses lack fiber, which aids in controlling appetite and facilitating the body’s natural cleansing processes. Like any diet, it’s essential to monitor our health daily. It would also be beneficial to consult with your doctor to determine if a juice cleanse is safe or worthwhile for you, as safety should always be a priority.

Let’s say you’ve visited your doctor, and they’ve given you the green light to do a juice cleanse, or it’s something you’re certain won’t pose any danger along the way. Now what? Well, it’s time to cleanse using those juices! As we’ve discussed, a typical cleanse lasts for one to three days, but those days are usually preceded by a preparation stage lasting three to five days. So, all in all, it takes a week for this detox plan. During the cleanse, what’s most recommended are raw, organic juices. You can either make them yourself or buy them pre-made; there’s no right or wrong in this, as long as you’ve researched the pre-made juice you plan to buy and ensured it’s 100% organic and fresh.
