`With less than 3 weeks till summer, it’s time to start cleaning up your diet. If you’re like me, then you’ve probably made countless resolutions to eat healthier, cut out refined sugars, or even excersise more in 2015…but let’s face it, the cookies in Umph are way to delicious to pass up! If you are looking for a simple way to detox, feel more energized, and have clearer skin, try a juice cleanse.
Juice cleanses usually range from one to three days and consist of five fruit and vegetable juices and one nut milk. Juice cleanses can be expensive, but they are definitely worth the splurge for how awesome you will feel. Before you decide if a cleanse is right for you, here are a few things to consider.
Do not do a juice cleanse if:
– You suffer from diabetes, an eating disorder, low blood sugar, anemia, or are underweight.
Consult a doctor if you are concerned.
Before a juice cleanse:
– Start the day with 32 oz. of water (essential to hydrate and prepare for detoxification).
– Eliminate processed foods and try to eat as clean as possible (eating unhealthy before a cleanse will shock your system).
After a juice cleanse:
– Transition your body with whole fruits, vegetables, and salads the day after the cleanse
– Avoid alcohol for one to three days (you will likely feel sick if you eat unhealthy or drink alcohol right after a cleanse).
