7 reasons to do a juice cleanse More and more people are interested in finding natural ways to regain their health and lose weight. Many of us are addicted to processed foods, animal fat, meds, caffeine and alcohol, which are all toxic to the body. Reversing the negative effects that those products have on us may seem impossible, but it isn’t. Eliminating the addictions, changing the diet and resting the body is the solution. A complete body cleansing can be the starting point to a better life for you. Here are 7 reasons to detox your body with a juice cleanse:
1. Resting the stomach Going on a detox or a juice cleanse allows the stomach to rest because no solid food is taken. Juices require less digestive work from the stomach (acid, pepsin and churning) and their nutrients can be absorbed right away. People suffering from dyspepsia, ulcers or acid reflux, and those who do not produce enough stomach acid can benefit from doing a 3 to 7 day detox.
2. Resting the liver The liver is the main detoxifying organ of the body. Every bit of food that is absorbed through the intestinal wall needs to pass by the liver for filtration before entering the rest of the body. Due to our unhealthy behaviours, the liver often has too many toxins to handle, letting some of them pass into the circulation and making us feel sick. Different reactions can occur, such as skin rashes, headaches and allergies. A 7 day detox with broccoli juice can boost the liver’s detox enzymes and rest the liver until food is eaten again.
3. Repairing the gut An imbalance in the gut microbiome is very common in our days, due to our unhealthy lifestyles. We consume toxic food daily (refined carbs, saturated fats, additives, allergenic foods and pesticides), we drink alcohol, we often take medications (antibiotics, aspirin, antacids and antihistamine) and we are constantly stressed. All these can can impair our intestine’s functioning and create serious damage. A condition called leaky gut may develop, weakening the intestinal wall and allowing harmful substances into the body. Going on a 7 day juice cleanse with lots of nutrient rich vegetables will help repair the gut and nourish every cell of the body. Taking natural supplements that can kill an overgrowth of Candida Albicans and parasites will also be helpful to heal the gut.
4. Changing eating habits Juicing for 7 days without any solid food can shift you away from bad habits like binge eating, coffee addictions or fatty/sugary diets. Portions may also be reduced after a cleanse, because people feel like their stomach has shrank (even if it did not), which gives a feeling of being satiated after a smaller meal. Doing a detox is also great for weight loss because it can change the relationship we once had with food. It is common to see our cravings disappear after a 7 day cleanse and suddenly want to eat healthier food.
5. Eliminating allergies If your belly suddenly feels great after 2 days without food (no more bloating or pain), you might want to look into this closer. On a detox, most allergenic foods are eliminated, giving you time to realize that something was wrong. If you usually have headaches, digestive problems, acne, skin rashes, strong body odour, brain fog, or any other symptoms that instantly disappeared on the cleanse, you might have a food allergy or intolerance that needs to be addressed. The usual allergens are dairy, gluten, fermented foods and industrial sugars. Reintroducing them one by one will help determine which ones are causing the problems.
6. Nourishing the body Fresh organic fruits and vegetables retain vitamins that would have been destroyed by cooking. Doing a juice cleanse provides the body with readily available nutrients like vitamins and minerals, replenishing our reserves and rejuvenating the body. After the first couple of days of the detox, most people report having more energy than ever. This can be a huge change for those used to stimulants like coffee and sodas, which provide a spike in energy followed with a crash.
7. Detox for weight loss A cleanse does not only make you feel great, it also makes you look great. Weight loss usually happens after 3 days on the detox (before that, weight loss is mainly from food, stool and water). People usually lose 5 kilos on a 7 day detox and colon cleanse. The best way not to gain the weight after the cleanse is to follow a detox diet meal plan composed of whole plant foods. Avoiding animal fats will permit more weight loss and will protect against heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
