What is a juice cleanse?
Juice cleanses are becoming more and more popular among people these days. And more and more expensive. Just take a look at some of the juice cleansing websites out there and check out their prices. Crazy! And all for juice. I completely understand the need to be healthy. I try to eat/drink healthy to keep my skin nice and stay in shape. I'm more of a smoothie person and I have a great lens of healthy smoothies if you want to check it out. But I feel like juice cleanses are all the rage and needed some attention here.
Issues With Juice Cleansing
If you're like me, you're probably skeptical of that green beauty in the picture. I'm not much of a vegetable person. I could eat fruit all day, every day. But veggies are not as appealing. Mostly I just eat a lot of zucchini, edamame, mushrooms, peas, green beans, tomatoes, yellow squash, and eggplant for my vegetable intake. But in a juice? I don't think so. Maybe I could try carrots in juice...maybe. But for me, I just make pure fruit juice. I've found it to be a bit weird to try at first, but it gets better. And it's good for you.I definitely would not say I'm on a juice cleanse. This lens is just to give some healthy juice cleansing ideas that are not as strict as a "real", expensive juice cleanse. I think pure juice cleanses are not all that healthy for you because it's almost completely eliminating protein from your meals. That is NOT healthy for anyone. I don't care if you don't eat meat, but you need to get some type of protein in your body. Whether it be from cheese, beans, fish, etc.
Juice Cleanse Books
If you do decide to do the full juice cleanse, I recommend reading one of these books first. It's important to keep your body healthy and get all the nutrients you need to survive. Juice cleansing isn't for everyone. Be cautious if you go this route.

Yes, it seems like it would be

Certainly, any natural juice (eventually without any extra sugar or honey) is a perfect treat to our body, and we shall use them more in our daily habits.
No, I think there can be negative side effects

- I wouldn't necessarily call it a cleanse, but juicing is a good way to eat more vegetables in particular raw vegetables which are better for you. While it sounds strange (at least it did to me at first), you can add carrot juice to almost any green vegetable juice and make it palatable. Carrot juice is pretty much the base of all juices I drink, except for fruit blends.
