Simple steps on how to do a juice cleanse

Some want to have a healthy detox, have more energy, sleep better, reduce aches and pains in muscles and joints, stabilize bowel movements, eliminate stored toxins or lose weight. There are some juices that specify benefits directly to the kidneys, colon, and liver. Whatever your reasons, you can try doing this three-day juice cleanse or also called quick cleanse.

This type of juice cleansing consists of limiting the diet to raw fruit and vegetable juices for three consecutive days. Juice fasting manufacturers believe that when your body takes a break to process solid food, a high level of detoxification occurs. The juices you drink are excellent sources of vitamins and antioxidants. Here are the simple steps on how to do it.

1) You should choose a three day period or long weekend in which you can spend time to do this. It is highly recommended that you do not do strenuous activities when cleaning. Take this opportunity also to read, reflect, meditate and relax in silence. Ideally, you can do this during the summer months.

2) Prepare your mind and body by reducing or eliminating all your intake of sugar, alcohol, dairy, nicotine, caffeine, fish, meat, wheat and eggs from your daily diet. Eat only organic fruits and vegetables or beans.

3) Drink at least 32 to 64 ounces of fruit and vegetable juices each day. Take a sip of the juices during the three-day cleanse.

4) You can process fruit and vegetable juices yourself. Or you can buy fresh juices at a health food store or at a juice bar. You can include fresh apples, carrots, blueberries, pineapples, spinach, beets, kale, and cabbage in your juice for low-acid juices. Consider adding sprouts or green leafy vegetables that have high levels of chlorophyll.

5) After the three day juice cleanse, gradually return when consuming solid food. You can start by adding two pieces of fruit to your meal. Then, add steamed green leafy vegetables the next day. Next, add brown rice, fresh salad, eggs, and yogurt to your daily diet. After five to six days of quick juice, add fish, meat, or chicken.
