Juice detox – before I talk about it, let me give you an idea of today’s life and eating habits.
Obesity is one of the most common issues today, especially with the nature of life we’re living these days.
There’s much less room for natural food and remedies. And there’s too much “artificial”, “synthetic” and “fast food” stuff around us. This has enormously changed our eating habits, and even living habits.
An unwanted and unhealthy by product of this living style is “obesity” or being overweight.
There are various ways that people usually adopt to lose that unwanted weight. One of the most effective and most natural ways is juice detox.
How to do Juice detox and detoxify your body?
Juice detox is nothing but being on a fast for a certain number of days ranging from 2 to 10 days.
During this period any other kind of food is totally avoided and only freshly pressed juice (and water) are consumed.
If you are on a juice detox diet you need to only consume fresh juice and/or water for the number of days you’re on the diet and the quantity can be up to 2-3 pints a day.
The whole point of juice detox is to detoxify your body; that is, to get rid of the toxins from your body.
But the cool by product of this whole process is that you can lose a good amount of weight too!
The juices you consume can be made of fresh juices, vegetables, greens and/or water.
It is indeed good to have a variety of juices to avoid boredom during the juice detox period.
Since you are not consuming any other food items, it is important that you do not get into the privilege of adding more sugar as a sweetener in your juice.
If you can consume some of the juices without any sugar at all, it’ll be so great (coz, most fruits have a natural taste and don’t need sugar to be added anyway).
However if you absolutely need to add sugar (in case of vegetable juices or other fruits that don’t taste very good) make sure you add lesser amount of sugar.
So what are the benefits of juice detox?
- As the name “juice detox” explains itself, being on a juice detox will help eliminate (flush) the toxins from your body.
- Inclusion of fresh fruits and vegetables will naturally boost your immune system.
- You can sleep tight.
- You probably know that most fruits are associated with skin care and beauty. Without any doubt, being on a juice detox program can improve the texture of your skin, make it clear and can also eliminate aging effects (if you take up juice detox sessions quite often, regularly).
- Ironically, even though you don’t consume solid tight food, after a juice detox session you will find your energy levels to be elevated actually.
- And probably the most interesting stuff for you could be this – juice detox aids in weight loss, very effectively.
- Juice detox program is also known to deal diplomatically with your chronic issues.
Really, it is no big deal.
A few notes on Juice detox
Make sure you juice fast for a number of days you can manage. Do not exert yourself. Do not be on a fast for more days and make yourself faint.
In particular, you have to start with fasting for 24-48 hours and not more than that; that is, if you’re doing juice detox for the first time, don’t go for a 5 or 10 day fast right up!
You’ll only do harm and you might totally stop liking the idea of juice detox.
Start slow and get used to the program. Once you have mastered yourself you can increase the number of days you’re on a fast.
In general, it is good to fast once or twice a week for one day, rather than fasting for 4 or 5 days in consequence.
And, remember to include at least one juice element in your daily diet even on days when you’re note on juice detox.
Juice detox: Takeaway
Juice detox is one of the most wonderful ways to flush the toxins out of your body and YES, to lose weight.
If you go on juice detox in a regular fashion you can visualize great and obvious results in your scale.
Juice detox will help you look beautiful on the outside (skin, eyes, good figure etc.) and will make you healthy on the inside (getting rid of the toxins, dealing with chronic issues etc.).
And to be on a juice detox program, you don’t need a big budget unlike for other weight loss programs.
And unlike other crash diet programs, you don’t do any harm to your health by being on a juice detox program; you only do great good!
So ya get into juice detox and enjoy the benefits!
Chandru, the weight you lose on a juice fast is water. A short term juice fast may be fine for some people but it should be a predominantly vegetable fast to avoid fructose overload and insulin spikes (what people mistake for detox symptoms much of the time) and even then, care should be taken to add in a little fiber in the way of flax seed, chia seed, or even avocado to help the colon flush those accumulated toxins. Juice does not do that. Smoothies are superior to juices in the respect that, for long term detox, the fiber is utlized to aid detoxification and slow down detox symptoms which makes detoxing easier to stick with.Juices and smoothies in the form of veggies, should be used in conjunction with one another and then, and even then, should be unequivocally veggie heavy!
I’m a big fan of juice fasting. I do it every 3 months or so for a day. I find it jolts my digestive system, gives my body a chance to recuperate from heavy food and gives me a break as well. Thanks for the post
Juice is one of my favorite beverages. Many people claim that juice can help improve the health. However I’m not sure if they use too much sugar, sweetener, milk, flavorings to increase pleasure of the taste of juice. It will make them gain weight. I’m sure about that.
Hi Jane
I will admit I don’t drink a lot of juice I eat quite a bit of fruit mainly bananas. This sounds a better way I’d detoxing though than some of the other methods I have read about. I still think good old exercise is a good way of clearing the body by getting the heart pumping and getting the juices flowing that way I suppose combining the two is probably a good solution.
So thanks may give it ago now that the new year is here lee

These detox method is way more better than other ways being advertised. Juice detox should be properly done though. And your post is just right and contains helpful information for interested people.
A friend said it taste so-so, but I guess she has a different palette. I will try it for myself! Besides, the aftermath is what’s important! 🙂
At first, I thought it was weird but I realized that it is indeed going to work alright. Not only, our internal system would be cleansed but it will definitely show off the result within our skin. Thanks for sharing this to us.
