What is a Juice Cleanse?

The next step might be to follow a detox program and for many, a juice cleanse is a great way to go. We hope to help you with the decision making process by detailing what exactly a juice cleanse is and how it works. 

Claims aside, if you think about what exactly a juice cleanse is, you might feel more comfortable about the entire process, let’s break it down.

• A juice cleanse is really a juice feast with pure plant-based nutrition. Flooding your body with the nutrients from fresh pressed vegetables and fruits such as ginger, beet juice, cucumber juice and many more, in high concentration. Your body will receive way more micronutrients than you’d normally get in a regular day because it’s in juice form. It's concentrated nutrition that's real, plant-based, and it can't get any purer than this!
• The process of creating cold press juice varies from “standard” juicing practices because it allows plant-based nutrients to stay alive longer. It removes most of the fiber so that your digestive system can quickly and easily absorb a very high amount of those nutrients which then enters your bloodstream. Since the fiber is removed, it means that the nutrients are quickly and easily absorbed with very little effort by your digestive system.
• It allows your digestive system time to heal and repair because it hardly has to work when you're on a juice cleanse. If you’re wondering how to flush out junk food and reset your body, then you’ve come to the right place. Every day, the food we eat puts stress on the digestive system to break down nutrients, move the foodstuff along the tract, and absorb the broken-down nutrients. The average Canadian and American diet causes harm to the digestive system with “anti-nutrients”, inflammatory foods, and foods that cause sensitivity or allergic responses, these can have long term debilitating effects. A juice cleanse is a great way to begin healing the damage that unhealthy habits may have caused.
• Juice cleanses are calorically restrictive and this puts the body into a defensive “food scarcity” response causing the body to conserve its energy and up-regulate apoptosis (programmed cell death) of old, diseased, or less optimal cells. This is especially important at halting cancer growth and if you want to read more about this topic, we recommend taking a look at The Gerson Institute.
• A juice cleanse will enhance your body’s detoxification systems by giving all the right empowering conditions and nutrients it needs. Equipped with a super-dose of highly absorbable vitamins and antioxidants, your body will be fueled with the right nutrition.
