There are so many spammy and terrible supplements and juice drinks out there trying to sell everyone a quick fix. Thankfully there are ways you can really have an effective cleanse and detox yourself, with the use of real juicing, juice fasting, and green smoothies. and this can be done with your own store bought produce, on your own time.
On this lens i'll go over my basic 3 day juice fast, along with other tips produce and juice reccomendations as well as other great advise to help you in your cleansing routine, or maybe simply to try out just because your curious and want to better your health. Always remember these are guidelines and tips, i am not a doctor or liscensed practitioner in any way, just someone who has benefitted from these methods, ALWAYS consult your doctor first before attempting any cleanse or fasting regimen.
The Basic 3 Day Juice Fast Cleanse
This is my simplified and easy to follow 3 Day Cleanse Routine
I'm going to keep this as short and simple so your not reading through tons and tons of endless banter and text. so lets get to it!1.Make sure the night before you officially start your juice fast that you eat light, and preferably items that are as unprocessed as possible and high in fiber to encourage waste removal. within a couple hours or so of going to bed for the evening make sure you take a gentle but natural laxative to help remove the water in your colon. I recommend using magnesium citrate, its a gentler oral laxative that essentially tastes like soda,
I advise buying it ahead of time and chilling it like you would a soda so it goes down easier. its often a 10-12 oz. bottle and you must drink the whole thing in one shot, its perfectly safe, but always be sure to consult your doctor ahead of time before performing this total cleanse. You can typically find this product at a local drug store like a CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens etc. for about 4-5 dollars so its fairly cheap and easy to find. It will take affect quickly and when your having your bowel movements it will sound and feel as if you are urinating, this is what it is supposed to feel and sound like, that means it is working, just grit and bare with it, it will eventually subside and you will have a much cleaner bowel to start receiving the nutrients from the juice.
2. I'll keep this short and simple, if you have access to a juicer, please do that as the juice is much more potent and effective due to it being fresh, un-pasteurized and having live enzymes, which make for much more effective and efficient nutrient delivery and total cleanse. Always buy organic produce and make sure even with the organic produce that you wash all of it thoroughly to removes pesticides, wax, and dirt. your are juicing and therefor concentrating everything, so be sure to not skip this step.
If you cannot find a juicer or afford to juice in general, you can use bottled juices as well, its not as potent, but it will work. Always buy organic whole juices, nothing from concentrate. please stay away from juice cocktails and blends, make sure its one type of juice and just that nothing else. The juice i recommend buying and drinking throughout the day is cucumber juice, beet juice, and carrot juice for vegetables, celery and other veggies juices as well will also work well but the first three i mentioned are best.
For fruit juice you want to be a bit more selective due to sugar content. Generally any whole organic fruit juice is okay, but you want to go with fruit juices that are gentler on the stomach but provide adequate nutrition. The Juices i would go with are Grape, Apple, Pomegranate, and Pear Juice, Only have smaller amount of orange juice if you must, only to get sufficient vitamin C, you don;t want too much on an empty stomach as any citrus juice is very acidic.
3. Drink these beverages throughout the 3 days, along with a large amount of water, water should be the number one drink you should consume over juices, juice is meant to replace the snacks and meals, but water you should consume throughout the day to help total cleanse your liver. please only used filtered or high quality bottled water, not anything straight from the tap with no filtering.
You might feel dizzy, light headed, and faint during this process, you may even start to smell, and get headaches, this is because your body is expelling toxin's that are stored within your colon and especially your stored fat, just make sure to bare with it and shower regularly. the more you feel these symptoms the more likely you needed to do this in the first place. If however you feel you need to seek a doctor or hospital please do so, as you should let your doctor know what you are doing before you ever start a total cleanse or fasting routine.
4. When you have come to your fourth day, you CAN eat again but take it slow and in small portions, i recommend only eating grains, veggies, and fruits, along with the continued juice and water you were taking the last three days. In order for this total cleanse to really have the biggest impact you should continue to eat high fiber, organic, and whole foods for the bulk of your dietary choices. DO NOT eat processed foods or beverages along with any meats the day after as your body is much more receptive to everything that is bad within these products, and you will make yourself sick.
Green Smoothies
How Green Smoothies can help Continue a Cleanse
Juicing is great, but its not always the quickest and easiest way to continue keeping your body in tip top shape on a daily basis after you perform a total cleanse. Smoothies are already very potent and popular but a recent trend has been the surge in the use of green smoothies. A green smoothie is essentially a fruit smoothie with added greens, not veggies but greens like kale, spinach, chard, and other leafy greens. This has become an extremely popular and effective way to get some of the most healthy things we can consume as humans because the fruits end up overpowering the taste of the greens thus making this an effective cleanser.The added fiber along with all the vitamins and nutrients available in these smoothies can make these very good meal replacements and snacks. All you need to do is add some protein power along with some flax seed oil to make this a complete meal replacement. I recommend whey protein but for those that are vegan or vegetarian, you can use soy protein although its less effective as a protein then whey. The high doses of naturally occurring fiber allow the total cleanse to have a lot more life and longevity because your keeping your colon relatively clean, because the fiber is helping to move food and ultimately waste quickly through your digestive system instead of lingering and contributing to clogging and disease.
Some Apppliance Types and Reccomendations
Some of my personal suggestions for what to use to accomplish everything.
If you going to use a juicer when you do a total cleanse instead of using store bought juice i recommend getting any decent single auger style juicer. These are great because they are often more durable, easier to clean, and vastly more efficient in there juice yields. They also because they are slow turning, don't heat up or oxidsie the juice nearly as much as a cheaper centrifugal juicer you will typically find for under 100$. I have been using a single auger juicer by Omega juicers to great success so i highly recommend them.
A blender doesn't require as much forethought, but the real point here is to get something that is durable, easy to clean for convenient daily use, and of course is powerful enough to provide the right consistency and properly break down the tough greens and harder fruits. I advise either getting the total blender from blendtec which would be my first choice or also the very excellent vitamix blenders from vitamix, these blenders are very strong and durable and will give you the smoothie your looking for.
