1. Resting Your Digestive System

Drinking only whole-food juices reduces the amount of input and stress on your gut and digestive system. Your body uses this time to heal and recharge! Doing a juice cleanse is like pressing a 'reset' button on your health and giving your body enough time to play catch-up. This is just one of the many reasons to go on a juice cleanse!

2. Reducing Your Appetite

Juicing eliminates the habit of comfort eating and makes you feel satisfied with less food than usual. When I finished my juice cleanse, I no longer craved those midnight snacks. It opens your eyes to the times you eat when you're hungry vs. the times you eat when you're bored. This provides a big psychological boost to help you start changing habits.

Frequently asked questions

3. No Stress

It's a lot of stress to think about what you're prepping for dinner every night. Juicing makes it easier because it's focused on consuming fresh whole food produce every few hours. It keeps you feeling full which keeps you from feeling stressed all day long!

4. Eliminate Harmful Foods

While on a juice cleanse, dairy, wheat, gluten and fermented foods are eliminated from your diet (as well as coffee and alcohol). Being off these things -- and other common trigger foods -- and then reintroducing them to your body can also help define what foods are causing your body any problems.

5. Weight Loss

At the end of my 3-day juice cleanse last month, I lost four pounds! Results might be different for others; some may lose more, while others lose less. Either way, it's a great way to jump start a diet because it helps control appetite and cravings and is serving your body with all it needs in a low calorie count.

6. Improving Energy

During my juice cleanse, I felt so energized! The first day had me feeling a bit hungry (naturally) but throughout the second and third day, I began to feel much more energy and clarity. I even had enough energy to hit up the gym on those days! By consuming only fresh juices, you'll feel so much better than if you were to drink caffeine.

7. Glowing Skin

As better hydration, removing toxins, and flooding your cells with healing nutrients begins to transform how you feel and look, you'll begin to see a positive transformation in your complexion as well. I definitely noticed that my skin looked clearer and felt smoother after my cleanse!

8. No More Chronic Ailments

Most of the time, our bodies are fighting off our toxic behaviors, contaminated environment, and poor food choices. However, when you give your body a break, you’ll start to see regular symptoms like headaches, general aches, congested sinuses, fatigue, bloating, camping, etc. start to go away. Isn't it amazing how much of a difference a juice cleanse can make in your body?

9. Your Taste Buds

After three days of juicing, your tastebuds will thank you for making them feel so alive. You might even discover a new love for these fruits/veggies!

Well, there you have it. These are just some of the ways that juice cleanses can help get your health back on track. Will you be trying one?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Sabrina I couldn't have said it any better ! Thanks for filling everyone in on the fats! Love good fats especially in the winter when my skin is like cardboard! Definitely agree that juicing needs to me taken slowly and you need to listen to your body. If your body isn't used to juicing, then there may be some adjustment. If you are feeling sick or what not I find having a handful of almonds or cashews ( nuts of preference), will bounce you back pretty fast.

A good tip is to eat healthy fats or incorporate healthy fats ie. flax oil or avocado with the juice fast. Because without the fat (good fats) you will not absorbs the much needed minerals and vitamins and you Qi (energy) will be off. So to stay grounded and in harmony incorporate good fats to slow down the digestion of fast absorbing juices. And feeling a bit yucky is normal because your body is detoxifying and it's perfectly normal to feel unwell. But the more you juice fast the better you can handle them. Remember though, baby steps. Perhaps start with having juicing in place of your lunches for a few days and eating light all other times. Then juice fast for only half a day and build up to a whole day then the next fast make it 3 days.

I think it might be alright if you can stay home and relax, but when I tried one I was really busy with my kids, running all around and stuff. I felt so horrid. Like I was going to faint, and all confused too. I was also unbearably hungry. I lost a few pounds, but when the cleanse was over I was so famished and miserable that I feasted on everything I could find and gained it back in 2 days flat. Plus, during it, people kept asking if I was OK because I looked so sick. I'm never doing that again!

This article doesn't at all talk about any of the possible negatives associated with a juice cleanse, not to mention, a lot of weight lost on a cleanse is water weight that is regained easily
