Ask yourself this question: Have I ever done a juice diet\/cleanse\/detox juice cleanse? If you answered yes, did you go into it thinking your insides would be detoxified and cleansed?
\nDid you answer no? Really? I don\u2019t believe you \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I have some news for you. Foods don\u2019t cleanse or detox. They do not rid your body of toxins. Your organs do that, not food. Juice cleanses do not wash away your calorific sins – I really wish they did though.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s this thing we sometimes forget about when we want a quick fix, you\u2019ve heard of it I\u2019m sure. It\u2019s called science. Science tells us carrot ginger juice cannot clean your insides, that\u2019s just not how it works. Celery juice is not an internal detox brush that can brush away impurities. The skin, blood, liver, kidneys, and intestines do an adequate job of eliminating environmental or ingested toxins.<\/p>\n
You wouldn\u2019t ask your DJ to pick out the bridesmaids dresses would you? Are you going to ask the best man to pick out your shoes? Delegate the responsibilities to the subject matter experts. Your liver and kidneys are the detox masters. Let them do their job.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a true believer that a good relationship with food facilitates healthy personal relationships. Do you remember that \u201c Pros vs. Cons\u201d list we\u2019ve all made? Ya know, to determine whether or not we want to keep that someone special in our lives. Let\u2019s go ahead and make that list with Mr. Juice Cleanse Detox. The pros list will not have \u201cdetoxes the body\u201d because it simply doesn\u2019t. Remember we\u2019re being reasonable and practical, let\u2019s use our heads and not our emotions right now.<\/p>\n
The Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n What about all those other claims? Healthier skin, better well being, more energy – I like those! But you know what happens when you juice? You eliminate other things\u2026. processed foods, chemicals like MSG, preservatives, simple carbohydrates like white breads and cupcakes. It could be that these other positive side effects are due not to juicing but to the absence of unhealthy junk foods.<\/p>\n When you see detox in the headline, the article had better be about the liver, otherwise it\u2019s pseudo-science marketing. But if the idea of \u201cdetoxing\u201d appeals to you, you might try clean eating that focuses on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, minimally processed foods and lean protein. This approach will be more likely to give you the results you want, especially if you make exercise a habit.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying drinking a glass of green apple ginger lime juice is not delicious, because it is. But it\u2019s NOT detoxing my body. It\u2019s usually in addition to a healthy breakfast of scrambled eggs and roasted sweet potatoes. It will definitely help my systems run smoothly which in turn allows my liver to work efficiently. Give your body what it needs to stay clean and vibrant. \u2026a healthy balance. Like a mimosa and strawberries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ask yourself this question: Have I ever done a juice diet\/cleanse\/detox juice cleanse?
