Juice Cleanse To Help Rid Your Body Of Toxins
If you are feeling tired and run down and feel the need to cleanse your body of toxins, the juice cleanse can be just what you need. Fruits and vegetables are good for you and provide a lot of health benefits making the juice cleanse diet a good choice over other questionable diets that are out there. Because you will only be consuming juices, you should only attempt this for a short amount of time, one day to three days at the most. The juice detox is basically a liquid diet that cleanses out toxins.
When choosing fruits and vegetables to juice, use fresh ones, they are the best for you. You should avoid or limit citrus because it may upset your stomach. A good way to make the juice taste better is to disguise the taste of any vegetables that you don't like, by mixing them in with the fruits. You will taste the fruits, making it easier to drink. Putting some berries, watermelon and spinach in the juicer is a good way to get the vitamins and minerals from spinach without the taste,if the taste is not something you enjoy. This is also a good way to get your children to eat vegetables.
The juice drinks will give you a lot of vitamins and are easily digested. Your body will also be removing toxins but because you are only drinking juice, you will not be adding new ones to your body. This gives your liver time to repair itself.
There are some guidelines that you should follow when doing a juice cleanse:
Spring is the best time to begin the juice detox diet. The body needs more than just juice in the cold winter months. Before you begin the diet, maybe a week or so before, start eliminating certain things from your diet. Do not eat dairy, sugar, meat, alcohol or caffeine. You can replace these foods with beans or fruits and vegetables for the week before you begin.
You should drink at least 32 ounces of juice per day and no more than 64 ounces per day. Do not drink all your juice at once, space it out throughout the day.
If drinking juice all day is too hard for you, you do have the option of eating a meal each day and juice the rest of the day. Make it a well balanced, low fat and no sugar meal that is healthy and good for you.
When you are getting ready to juice your fruits and vegetables make sure to remove any seeds or pits, if it's a fruit with tough skin, peel that off.
When you are finished with your juice cleanse and ready to resume eating solid foods it is important to do so slowly over the course of a week. You have to introduce solids slowly to avoid upsetting your system. Start with a couple of solid fruits, then a vegetable that has been steamed, with no butter added to it. Continue adding foods in small amounts slowly each day. Add salads, rice, then move on to eggs and some dairy. Finally after a week or so you can add fish and chicken, then other foods back into your diet. If you feel hungry during the time when you are slowly adding foods, you can continue to drink juices to make you feel full and satisfied.
Drinking only juice for a few days can be difficult. You may feel deprived and even a little crabby because of it. Sticking with it is a good choice though, you are helping your body to get rid of the bad things inside it and helping your body have time to heal and get back to functioning normally. The benefits are worth it. This is also a good way to jump start your weight loss plan.
