Cleansing and detox concepts have been around for perhaps thousands of years.

Juicing provides instant nutrition to the bloodstream. When you juice your foods, you’ll feel and almost instant burst of energy to begin living at an optimum level. Your metabolism is recharged without the use of coffee and caffeine!
Feeling heavy and bloated after eating meals? Not so with juicing. The colon has very little bulk to digest when you drink fresh juice. Without solid food to digest, the colon then gets to work on eliminating the toxins built up in the body.
Experience a flatter stomach and initial weight loss from the juice detox diet. When toxins are flushed, the and the body removes toxins you’ll feel and see the difference in the mirror.

Workout During a Juice Detox?

Both working out and cleansing with a juice detox are beneficial to your health. But should you do both at the same time? Exercise releases toxins primarily through the skin and since releasing toxins is also the goal of a juice detox diet it might seem a good idea to double your results by applying both techniques. However, rigorous exercise is not recommended during the juice fasting period. This is due to the fact that a juice only diet does not contain enough calories to fuel your body for a workout. You may crash and burn which may cause you to break the cleanse in an unhealthy way or may even cause health problems for you.

Instead of working out during your fast or cleanse, try a more relaxed approach and pamper yourself. If you are looking to release toxins through the skin try these helpful tips:

Dry Brush – In the morning before showering, dry brush your skin with a body brush for 5 minutes. This will help exfoliate dead skin cells and increase circulation in the body thus encouraging the detox process.
Hot/Cold Shower - When showering, alternate the water temperature between hot (whatever is normal for you) and cold water. One minute at each temperature and do this a couple of times to invigorate the body.
Easy Exercise – Instead of a heavy weightlifting workout, try stretching exercises and take an easy stroll around the neighborhood to keep limber and support healthy circulation and digestion.

Cleansing the Mind Body and Spirit

Fasting is an age old tradition of cleansing the mind, body and spirit. Historically this may have meant a water fast, but today we know much more about the complexities of nutrition and the detox process. Fasting with fruits and vegetables is therefore now recommended. The juice detox method is one of the safest and gentlest forms of fasting and is therefore recommended for beginners.

For the body: Juice fasting offers a way to periodically remove waste and toxins from the body. Digestion is eased and energy is often increased. The body may shed a few pounds and be relieved of many symptoms of pain.

For the mind: Once the body begins to operate more efficiently, the mind also benefits. Thinking may become clearer as more energy is circulating around the body and the brain. This electric and magnetic energy travels then through the nervous system to all reaches of the body and back, creating what is called body intelligence.

For the spirit: Fasting has long been associated with the spirit and is practiced in some religions. When the body is free from food the mind and spirit are no longer focused on such earthly desires and some proclaim a connection with a higher power or realize a great life change.

Whatever your desire for conducting a juice or water fast, the potential benefits are great. You can see why this natural body detox method is recommended by so many.

Juicing Helps In Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing, also known as detoxification, is an essential biological process to obtaining and maintaining health. Normally the colon can perform this function on its own, but sometimes it needs help. There are many products with pills that you can buy to aid the internal cleansing process, but I also recommend the tried and true method of juice detox. Success on this detox diet results in more energy, stronger digestive health, clearer skin and better mental focus.

To benefit most from this plan, prepare by eating some raw foods and eliminating caffeine and drugs from your system. Get a juice extractor to make juice from fruits and vegetables. This will separate the juice from the rest of the food so that your colon can digest it easily. The vitamins and minerals in this juice detox diet will absorb into your blood stream, cleansing the blood, then travel to the cleanse the liver, a vital organ needed for detoxification. For the healthiest juice, buy lots of green vegetables such as spinach, kale, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, artichokes and asparagus. You should make the juice fresh every day. To make this easier, prep your vegetables the night before.

It won’t take long to start feeling the good effects of this program. Continue drinking only juice for one to three days for your first juice cleanse. After the cleanse you should introduce solid foods back into the diet slowly. This is a perfect opportunity to begin a new health routine. Good luck!
