There are a lot of different cleanses out there for you to choose from and sometimes it can be really confusing and even daunting to decide which pathway to go down. Some of you may simply choose to go with colon cleansing products that are prepackaged and ready to be used for an affordable price. Some of you may choose to go with juicing, this is either because you are you own a juicer or because you feel that you don’t get enough of it into your system and that the nutrients you get from it would benefit your overall state of being. And yet some of you will choose to primarily drink smoothies for your particular colon cleansing routine, these are particularly effective because not only do they contain all the nutrients that you get within the juice but you also get the fiber as well which helps to promote proper digestion.
Having said all that, I’ll describe briefly what the benefits are to each of these methods. Going with the prepackaged total cleanse product can be both a curse and a blessing simply based on a few simple factors. By far the most common factor would be the ease-of-use, you don’t have to think and you don’t have to buy anything else its all-in-one product. The other reason is the fact that you can read reviews and see which products are appropriate for you without having to do any guesswork, not to mention these products are often much more affordable than buying the sometimes very expensive organic produce that’s required for juicing or smoothies.
The benefit to juicing is the fact that it’s by far the most potent of three methods in terms of nutrient delivery. This is because it doesn’t contain any of the natural fiber, which for those of you who really need high doses of these nutrients due to deficiency or poor diet is incredibly beneficial because it goes straight into your bloodstream into your liver which is your alternate detoxifying organ. The only downside to this is that you have to have an expensive juicer and often plenty of time to do the juicing and prep work.
Last but not least we have making smoothies, these are fantastic for the reasons mentioned before like containing high levels of fiber to improve digestion as well as plenty of nutrient dense vitamins and mineral levels. They’re also extremely convenient because all you have to do is keep your produce frozen take it out put in a blender for couple minutes and you’re done, with the right blend or can be extremely fast with easy cleanup. The only downside to this is that you really need a high-end blender to really create the kind of smoothies that would benefit you and the splendors tend to run $300-$400. Not to mention you still have to buy all the expensive produce that is required to make these movies. The good thing is that all three methods to work and have to simply find which option works best for you.
This article is essentially a condensed version of my core total cleanse routine and guide which you can also find on my site as well if you want a more comprehensive and detailed guide. This is meant for those of you who need something a bit more general or simply would prefer a more compact version of my prior total cleanse routine. What this says is essentially how to juice fast for total cleanse, juice fasting is by far the most effective, quickest, and natural way to really clean out your colon and help detox your body in the process. Always consult a doctor or other healthcare professional before doing any cleansing routine or cleansing products.
Basically what I recommend that people do is that the day before they cleanse and particularly the night before they cleanse I recommend that people do not eat heavily and that most of their food should be raw and organic and should not be processed or cooked. This is to help prepare the body for the next three days or you will not be in any solid food and you’ll only be drinking juice and water. The first thing that needs to be done is the person doing the cleanse needs to purchase a bottle of natural oral liquid laxative, I use and often recommend buying oral solution magnesium citrate, you can find a bottle of this at any drugstore like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid to name a few. The bottle is usually 10 to 12 ounces and is generally in a glass bottle, I recommend putting it in the fridge and cooling it just like you would a beverage so that it goes down easier. You drink the whole bottle the night before you start your cleanse and throughout the night and into the next day your bowel movements should be mostly liquid and this is a good thing as it exactly what you want to see and that means your colon is removing all the excess waste.
Instead of using an entire article or post for each individual day I’ll simply sum up how to juice fast for total cleanse throughout the three days as what you do doesn’t change really very much. If you have a juicer I recommend juicing over buying bottled juice as this kind of juice has more enzymes in and it’s also a lot healthier for you as a result. If you don’t have or can’t acquire a juicer I recommend buying only organic whole juices, no juice blends or anything from concentrate, just the straight stuff with no extra ingredients except for the juice itself and that’s it. You can generally consume any type of fruit juice that you want but there are specific vegetable juices that you must take each day, these four include carrot juice, cucumber juice, beet juice, and celery juice. Be sure to get an equal amount of each juice regardless of the serving within each day and drink these for all three days. Along with the fruit juice and vegetable juice you must continue to drink a large amount of purified filtered water I recommend at least 2 to 3 liters for women in 3 to 4 for men possibly more during cleanse by about an extra liter or so for both genders.
You will be hungry, you may even feel ill, your breath may get worse and your body odor may start to worsen as well, this is to be expected and is a sign that you were starting to release the toxins naturally from your body, stick with it. At the end of the three days you can eat again but do so with small portions and only with raw and organic foods nothing processed or cooked do this for the next 3 to 7 days as well. Then you can gradually go back to at least some of the foods that you ate before, but if you want to maintain the results you’re going to want to stick to a healthy and natural diet.
Total cleansing can take a lot of different forms, and there’s a lot of different methods out there in which you can cleanse your body completely. If you’re uncomfortable doing this kind of thing yourself I do recommend checking out the different cleansing products are available, I say this because doing it the natural and homegrown way may not be appropriate for certain people and in other cases some people simply may not have time for it and buying a cleansing product may be more appropriate for them than doing it the old-fashioned way. However, in this article I am going to address why doing a total cleanse on your own may be better than some of the seemingly easier and cheaper options available to you.
Cleansing can be done through a variety of means whether it’s juicing, smoothies, raw foods, or just regular exercise and simply eating better. My advice is to try each and every one and see which one is practical and fits into your day-to-day life because I realize not everyone has the money, the means, the energy, or time to do some of the more elaborate of the cleansing routines that are out there. There are however some really great alternatives to some of the more elaborate and complicated routines and cleansing programs out there. For example, if you simply cannot afford or don’t have access to a juicer, you can just go to the store and buy organic juice preferably in a glass bottle if at all possible. The reason why juicing is generally preferred however is because the juice is a lot fresher and also has a lot of enzymes which are generally more effective at delivering all those vital nutrients to your body.
A convenient alternative to doing your own smoothies at home however is by going to a juice bar either like a Robeck’s or Jamba Juice as they will often do very tasty and healthy smoothies for you. The problem with going to a juice bar beyond the obvious reason of having to travel there, is because they usually makes smoothies that have a lot more sugar, plus the smoothies are much more expensive than the ones you would make at home. So although you do have some other choices I still advise you to buy a juicer and getting a blender if you plan to do this or any other cleansing routine or method over the long term. While the easy choices may at first seem like the best option the fact is that they are more expensive and less effective over the over the long term. So if time is the issue, check out different cleansing products, if money is the issue, then make sure you save up for a juicer or a blender and simply buy your produce and instead of wasting your money at $6-$7 per juice or per smoothie at a juice bar.
There are tons of different cleansing products, diets, plans, and methods out there that you could spend many weeks if not months investigating what might be the best option. In reality, if you’re looking to detox your body the quickest and most effective method is a whole body juice cleanse. There is a reason that juicing is the most effective means of cleansing your colon and detoxing your body, and this is primarily For two simple reasons; fresh juice has like active enzymes which actually help to facilitate proper absorption of all those vital nutrients and vitamins, but also the juice itself has little to no fiber, and this allows for the body to have to use minimal energy to obtain the nutrients and thus it benefits more.
The first point that needs to be made here is that a whole body juice cleanse will be vastly more effective if the juice that’s being ingested is fresh and organic. As stated above enzymes are what help to allow your body to absorb all the nutrients in the juice itself. Bottled juice has to be pasteurized by law (and for good reason) to prevent harmful bacteria from staying present or growing due to unsanitary conditions at the facility in which it was made and processed, unfortunately this process kills the good bacteria and enzymes along with the good, and as a result, not only does the juice taste subpar, but most people expel the vitamins and minerals through waste due to poor absorption, this obviously defeats the point of cleansing which is to minimize the workload on your digestive system while still delivering higher and more pure doses of the much needed nutrients our body craves.
The second reason why juicing is widely considered to be superior to using other methods like making smoothies, is because of the removal of the fiber during the juicing process. The removal of the fiber is key to drastically reducing the workload on the digestive system, and it means that more juice passes directly to the lower intestine where much of the absorption takes place. This can’t happen with smoothies because you’re getting the fiber along with the nutrients, but the fiber takes up a lot of the real estate and reduces the absorption rate along with also making the body SPEND more energy (using all the nutrients you’re trying to take in to process the smoothie). This is inefficient and a much slower and less effective cleanse, many choose it because it is gentler, and fiber IS important to have, but when you’re trying to get the quickest results, juicing is the only way to go.
