JUICE DETOX

Will be doing my 1 day juice detox once a week from tomorrow again :) to DETOXIFY, let my digestive system relax a bit and for clearer mind :) who is joining me??
 
OK.. so for my JUICE DETOX for tomorrow you will need: juicer, fruits and vegetables. I will prepare my juices tonight.

For fruit juice I will probably juice apples, green grapes and nectarines or kiwis (all have high water content so you won't need a lot of them).

For vegetable juice I will juice celery, cucumber, fresh mint leaves, coriander, spinach,kale, ginger and a carrot (broccoli, cabbage, beets are great for juicing too)

During the juice detox you drink juices all day, I drink a glass of juice every 2 hrs- it should be half glass juice, half water (best filtered or good quality bottled water), remember to drink lots of water throughout the day, herb teas are also allowed.

What are the benefits?
Our bodies work really hard on getting rid of toxins all day every day, through juice detoxing you help it detoxify. When you're not eating solid food, your body isn't focusing on digesting it and by supplying juices you flush out toxins out of your cells and you're nourishing them with all the vitamins and minerals from juices which go straight into your bloodstream!
Another benefit is weight loss!
And you would be surprised how clear your mind gets too!

Some people prefare to do a juice detox once every 3 months for 5-7 days, I do 1 day every week as if you do it for longer than 1 day your energy will go from day 2-3 usually so me being a busy bee I prefer to spare one day a week (and during that first day your energy levels will usually increase!)

You can notice some changes in your skin, spots etc- that's how your body usually gets rid of the toxins or ear wax or furry tongue- these are all good signs!

Another important thing is- after the detox don't overeat!

So again.. who is up for juice detoxing with me tomorrow?? :)
