Juicing Recipes for Detox

Another very popular process when it comes to vegetable juicing is called detoxification.  While it is commonly referred to detox the body of drugs and/or alcohol, in nutrition it is meant to cleanse your blood.  The idea is that over time, your body accumulates toxins from unhealthy food choices, aging, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, stress, and the list goes on and on.  It is a severely limited diet that lasts a few days to rid the body of toxins.

First, you eliminate all sources that would release toxins in the body, such as alcohol, cigarettes, medication, fatty and sugary junk foods, meat products and dairy.  If possible, you should also reduce sources of stress as much as possible such as work.  It is best to plan ahead and detox on a weekend to account for work.

Fasting is the common start to detoxify the body.  It is important to stay hydrated during this process, which is why vegetable juicing is perfect for detoxification.  Vegetables contain very little fat or sugar (if any at all), but still provide you with plenty of vitamins and phytonutrients, especially during such a vulnerable time.

Some good vegetables to include in your vegetable juicer recipes for detox are spinach and beet juice.  Beet juicing recipes contain powerful antioxidants that stimulate red blood cell production and cleanse the blood, in addition to detoxifying the liver.  Spinach is rich in magnesium and other minerals that avoid the accumulation of uric acid in the body.  Juicer recipes with citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruits, contain a lot of vitamin C and other antioxidants to fight off free radicals in the body.  You may also want to try wheatgrass juicing recipes, which are exceptionally high in chlorophyll and do wonders for blood cleansing.

Feel free to add fruits in your juicing recipes for detox, but do not overdo it.  After all, fruits do contain a lot of sugar, which is what we are trying to avoid to reduce the amount of toxins in the body.  If you are on medication and must take them during your fasting period, then be wary of grapefruits in your detox juicing recipes.  They have been shown to increase absorption rate of medication, which can easily lead to overdoses with harmful side effects.

The severe decrease of calories you consume during this type of diet can possible lead to harmful side effects, so you must plan ahead.  Some common side effects are fatigue, dizziness, headaches and weight loss.  Acne can also be a problem due to the large release of toxins flowing through your body, which could find their way through your skin.

There are some people who should not be vegetable juicing for detoxification.  People afflicted with certain ailments or diseases.  If you take medication regularly, you must be careful about how not eating could affect your response to them.  Pregnant women also need a healthy intake of nourishment and calories to be able to support the baby, as well as the baby itself.

After you complete your detox diet, you must slowly get used to eating solid foods again.  Start with whole fruits and vegetables.  Work your way to carbohydrate foods like rice or pasta next, and then ease into eating meat products and beans.  As much as you want to, avoid stuffing your face the first chance you get.  Be sure to stay hydrated at all times with plenty of water and vegetable juicer recipes.

It is suggested that you do this once a year to recharge yourself.  However, there is no direct evidence to show that it is advantageous at all to the body.  In fact, there are doubts as to whether detoxification is beneficial at all, so be careful if you choose to go through with it.

One of the best juicers for juicing is the Omega 8005.  However, a more affordable option would be the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer.  I suggest looking in to these two options first.
