A detox juice recipe can be a wonderful way to give your body a break and flush out toxins. It can also be used as a part of a fasting program to achieve weight loss goals. Squashing all your fruits and veggies into a single drink is a quick, easy way of getting their nutrients.
When you juice your fruits and veggies, it’s different than simply blending them to make a smoothie. Juicing your produce takes the fiber out of the end product, making juice very easy to digest.
Juices made of fruits and veggies also contain a good amount of antioxidants and disease-fighting chemicals. For instance, the polyphenol from apple and spinach juice fights Alzheimer’s Disease, while celery juice maintains healthy blood pressure.
Incorporating a detox juice recipe like this helps you get far more plant chemicals into your diet than a normal whole food diet would. These chemicals cleanse your body, promote clear skin, promote better digestion, and improve energy levels.
