Cleansing Your Body With Green Juices

Every day a human body receives piles of “garbage”. Toxins “enter” the cells and organs together with food (which people consume daily), water, air, and of course, cosmetic products (such as soap, shower gels, creams, and shampoos).

Fortunately, Mother Nature has thought it through and made our bodies capable of self-cleansing. We just need to actually participate in this process from time to time. To do this, they recommend switching to a vegetable diet. The process of digestion will become quicker and easier, and therefore, all efforts will be steered towards detoxification. And the easiest way to clean the body is to consume green, vegetable and fruit juices. For more information about cleansing drinks, visit organicsproutedflour.net. 

Freshly squeezed green juices enrich human body with a large amount of the elements necessary for great performance. They get into the bloodstream very quickly and spread throughout the body, “saturating” every organ of our body with vitamins.

If you drink green juices for 1-2 weeks, you will notice surprising changes in your body:

• Your mind will become clearer
• You will feel more energetic
• Skin, hair and nail structure will improve
• You will lose a few pounds
• Digestion and pH balance will improve
• The immune system will strengthen
• Your overall condition will improve, and you will feel happier and younger!

We consider it necessary to emphasize here that not all types of juicers are suitable for making freshly squeezed juice from leafy greens. As noted by DiligentChef.com, the best juicer for greens should be an auger type, and the models with two augers are even more effective.  Such auger brands as Tribest, Omega Juicer, SKG, Kuvings, and Hurom have proven to be the best in the US market. However, the question of choosing a juicer for greens is the topic of a separate article, so let’s return to our article and go over the details of body cleansing with the help of green juices.

Juice Dieting

For an extended period of detoxification, the following ratio of juices will work: 2/3 of green juices and 1/3 of fruit juices of the daily ration.

Cleansing with Green Juices

Here’s an example: 1 liter of apple juice and 2-3 liters of juice of leafy greens. Do not use only fruit juices because they may spike your sugar level, while drinking vegetable juices lets you keep it in balance. That is why we recommend starting with green juices in the morning.

Attention! By including green juices into a daily diet, you can start feeling some side effects. On the first or second day, you may feel nausea, weakness and irritability, fatigue, even abdominal pain. Do not worry: this is an absolutely normal reaction of the body. It is a sign that the cleansing process has begun! The body has started eliminating the toxins that have been stored in the body for many years! As soon as this first stage is over, you will start feeling much better. By the way, such side effects of detoxification can be relieved or completely avoided if you perform pre-cleansing procedures with the help of a fountain syringe and start moving around more (running, doing physical exercises).

It is necessary to take into account that some greens and vegetables (for example, wheatgrass juice, ginger, and beets) are much more powerful when it comes to body cleansing, therefore it is recommended that you start with a small amount of juice. For example, excessive consumption of juice from wheatgrass can become a strong laxative. Therefore, start with 1 tablespoon, mixing it with apple or orange juice. Once you and your body get used to new flavors, you can increase the “dose” and experiment with it (mix different herbal products).

Green Juice Recipe

We suggest this example “recipe” of green juice for detoxification:

1. Prepare the base first:

Celery juice + juice from cucumbers (or zucchini). Why these products? Celery and cucumber are rich in water; they are easily absorbed by the body and alkalify it, thereby restoring its natural bacterial population.

2. Add to your taste any of the following ingredients:

Spinach, lettuce, nettle, dandelion leaves, beet tops, wheatgrass juice. The surprising thing is that the more bitterness the herbs have, the more pleasant they are for taste buds and healthier too; they contain more vitamins and other nutrients.

You can add some herbs (mint, cilantro, parsley, dill). As everyone knows, they are also very rich in vitamins. But don’t use too much: a few twigs is enough.

3. Sweeten your juice:

Add juice of sweet apples, oranges or carrots.

There are plenty of combinations of fruits and vegetables for making juices! Run your experiments! The main thing is to follow the principles of a personal diet.

4. You may add lemon juice as an option

It enhances cleansing of the body and neutralizes nitrates that vegetables may contain.

If you want something spicy, you can add ginger or a red cayenne pepper.
