A total detox cleanse can be a really daunting task even for those of us who’ve done it on a regular basis and for many years. Any guide to total detox cleanse worth its salt would generally advise that you do whatever is the most affordable and the easiest to do simply because there’s so many choices out there. Organic produce can be extremely expensive for some and so they may have to limit where and how and sometimes what kind of produce they buy for themselves. Others may simply choose to use a total cleanse product that is prepackaged and ready to go in so they can easily budget out how much this package will cost them over time. Some simply don’t have the time to do a cleanse themselves and may find that they need some assistance in not only choosing what the best method is but also in performing it as well.
This brief guide to total detox cleanse is really meant to illustrate the basic principles behind raw foods, cleansing, green smoothies, and all the other associated methodologies and means by which people clean out there colon and generally detox your body. The fact of the matter is is that her body is usually in such a poor state that it’s not able to do the detoxing itself. A total detox cleanse is really about getting your body in a position to help detoxify itself, most people think it’s the cleanse and the things that you’re drinking and consuming that do the detoxify but this is not the case, you’re simply giving your body the necessary nutrients and rest so it can do what it does naturally which is to help heal itself. While I don’t advocate any particular brand or product if you’re not comfortable doing a total cleanse on your own, or doing it through juicing or smoothies you can only check out the different products that are available on the market and see which ones might be appropriate for you.
The fact is that you want to get as much raw produce into your system as possible and eliminate all the processed foods and beverages in the process. By doing this you allow your body to heal itself and give your liver the support it needs to help cleanse your blood. Whether you do this through juicing organic produce, blending, or using other natural and alternative methods, what you’re really trying to do is simply get your body back into place and state for it to start working the way it once did. Always keep your expectations in check, and consult your doctor or physician especially if you have any known medical issues or are taking any prescription or powerful over-the-counter medications, because some supplements and natural foods could interact negatively with these drugs, so always speak to your medical professional first before undertaking any serious cleanse of any sort.
A green smoothie for detox purposes can be a really effective means of cleaning out your colon, removing toxins, poisons, chemicals, and other invasive and harmful agents from your body. The reason why these types of smoothies are so effective for cleansing your colon and detoxing your body is because all of the active enzymes working in concert with the vitamins and nutrients that your body craves being delivered by all the blended fruits and greens in the green smoothie. This is rather difficult to do if you just cannot go this movie from a juice bar which generally filled with lots of additional sugars in fruit juice fillers with very little actual fruit unless specially requested and even then you can’t be certain that the produces organic and of high quality so making your own green smoothie for detox reasons is the best way to go.
I generally advise going with any organic produce whether it’s frozen or picked locally from the farm or even a store. This is because organic produce generally does not have the exposure to pesticides and chemicals that traditionally grown produce does and is better for a total cleanse as a result. This is especially important when you’re creating smoothies for your health as you do not want to be exposing your liver and other vital organs that are needed to detox your body to harmful agents like chemicals, pesticides, and hormones to name a few. Also when you do get your produce it buys using high-quality veggie wash to remove the dirt, wax, and other transient chemicals and byproducts that it may have been exposed to during its transit from the farm to your mouth. You can find these vegetable washes at any health food store or grocery store that supports organic produce like old foods.
The type of green smoothie for detox I would create would simply be the one I can afford to make on a daily basis. This would include using berries and fruits that are common and cheap but also very healthy such as blueberries, raspberries, bananas, apples, melons and other similar fruits. As for the type of greens that I would add, my personal favorites are kale, spinach, rainbow chard, parsley, bok choy leaves, and red kale. Be sure to wash these as well very thoroughly as there was in E. coli bacteria outbreak just from spinach alone, so while I wholeheartedly recommend you do consume spinach in your greens movies you need to be careful that it’s thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. I recommend using a high powered blender to create your greens movies like the blendtec total blender or vita-mix blender that you can find most affordably on websites like Amazon and health-food websites. Don’t be afraid to try out different combinations of greens movies to see which ones suit your tastes best. Because the only green smoothie for detox program you’re going to continually do is one that has a smoothie that appeals to your tastes.
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.
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.
