How to make a juice cleanse work for you
There’s no one size fits all when it comes to cleanses. You can either do a 3-day Weekend cleanse, a 5-day cleanse or a 7-day cleanse, or you can do a one-day cleanse. You can either do a full juice cleanse where you only consume fresh juice or you can do a partial cleanse where you consume fresh juice and eat some whole food. You can even do a combination cleanse where you do a few days of only juice followed by a few days of only whole food. It’s really up to you and what you’re hoping to achieve. If you’ve never tried a juice cleanse before and don’t know what to expect, it’s always best to start with a shorter cleanse. A five-day cleanse is a good place to start for your first cleanse. This will give you enough time to see the benefits of the cleanse but it’s not so long that you get bored or frustrated with it.
Things to consider before committing to a juice cleanse
- How committed are you? It’s important to go into a cleanse with the right mindset. If you go in halfheartedly, it will reflect in your results. You need to go into it with a clear intention of why you’re doing it and what you’re hoping to achieve.
- What’s your goal? Ask yourself what you’re hoping to achieve with the cleanse. Are you doing it for weight loss, for better digestion, or for clearer skin? You may want to consider a different cleanse than someone else who is doing a cleanse for weight loss.
- What’s your budget? Purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables from your local supermarket can be costly. Do some research and see where you can find affordable produce to do your cleanse. One Co.’s juice cleanse packages and subscriptions are an excellent option which are easily affordable.
- What’s your schedule? It’s important to consider your schedule when doing any kind of cleanse. If you work full-time, you may not have enough time to squeeze in a 7-day cleanse. Keep these points in mind when deciding if a cleanse is right for you.
