Juice detoxes are a popular weight-loss tool and can help you to lose between 1-3 kilos. But, juice detoxes also have the following benefits:
- Juicing provides your body with a consistent and clean natural energy boost, as opposed to the highs and crashes from caffeine and processed sugar. Cold-pressed juices are rich in vitamins and energy and give a much-needed break to your digestive system, leaving you feeling healthier and more full of energy.
- A juice detox helps your gut to reset and gives your digestive system a much needed break, especially after an indulgent holiday season. Drinking only raw, cold pressed juices reduces the workload and stress on your gut, giving it time to heal and recharge.
- Most of us drink less than our recommended daily intake of non-caffeinated beverages. A juice cleanse helps make sure you get a full dose of daily hydration. After all, hydration makes your skin glow!
- Drinking juices – and in the process removing processed foods, empty carbs, and saturated fats – normally lead to natural weight loss, and can be the gateway to having a more healthy, balanced diet.
- Following a plant based juice diet helps to greatly reduce inflammation, and can reduce allergies, arthritis, IBS and even cardio and autoimmune diseases.
When you’re doing a juice detox you’ll feel lighter, healthier and have more energy. It’s not all plain sailing though, especially if you’re used to heavy doses of caffeine and large portion sizes. The first day especially can be tough as you shake off that habits and cravings; and after that caffeine withdrawal can test you. But if you can make it through just a 3 day detox, we know you won’t look back.
