Fruit smoothies and colon cleanse routines go hand-in-hand, and although I generally recommend doing any sort of variety of smoothie with a variety of fruits, there are certain combinations and certain fruits that are head of the pack in terms of being able to provide a colon cleanse. One thing to keep in mind is that you can use either frozen fruit or fresh fruit, frozen fruit has a tendency to make a thicker and colder smoothly, while fresh fruit tends to be a little bit less static and requires additional ice if the person making the smoothie wants it to be a bit colder. I also like to add, that recently the FDA has said that frozen produce retains all the same nutritional value as fresh produce and may even do so for a longer period of time, so you don’t have access to local produce fresh produce feel free to buy frozen or ordered frozen.
One of the biggest reasons why fruit smoothies and colon cleanse programs goes so well together is primarily due to a few different factors. The first is that smoothies are very easy to do, this is because they’re really easy to clean up and are quick to make, plus people are more likely to do them and are more likely to cleanse their colons. The next reason is because of how filling they are, the primary reason these are so filling especially compared to juicing, is because the smoothies contain lots of natural fiber. This naturally occurring fiber not only fills you up, but it allows the smoothie along with other food to pass through your colon and a much quicker and healthier pace thus allowing for an all-day cleanse. The third reason is because you’re filling the vast majority of your daily needs for fruits and vegetables, not only that but you’re doing it with nutritionally dense food instead of buying bottled and watered down the smoothies from the store.
Be advised that when making a smoothie or multiple fruit smoothies, that regardless of whether you bought frozen, local, or at the grocery store that you only buy organic produce especially if it’s from a store. I advise us not because they are incredibly superior to their standard grown brethren but because they are much less likely to have been exposed to pesticides and poisons. Having said that, make sure you thoroughly wash your produce before turning into a fruit smoothie or any type of total cleanse; this is because there still may be wax and dirt on the produce and the other reason is because people still handle this produce and store, lots of people in fact. So to avoid getting any diseases, illnesses, or contaminants that may have come from customers and employees please be sure to not only wash your own hands to wash the produce with a good vegetable and fruit wash which you should be able to find any health food store or online.
Cleansing can sometimes be a very difficult thing to do if you’re not quite sure what steps to take especially if you’re a person needs to know each detail step-by-step. To be honest, I don’t think there’s any real clear one-way method to do every type of total cleanse that can possibly be done. However depending on which cleansing routine you choose to go with, there are definitely some total cleanse directions, tips, and some general guidelines that should help you give you a better idea of what you want to do relative to what you’re trying to remedy your heal. Always room or that these are guidelines and guidelines alone, you should always consult your doctor before doing any serious cleansing routine and also listen to your body and make sure you’re not doing anything to harm yourself.
If your primary cleansing routine is through juicing then what I recommend you do is take at least a couple glasses with each meal or where normally you would have a meal during the day. If at all possible please make sure that this is freshly juiced juice, this is important because fresh juice contains enzymes which are more effective at delivering nutrients into your system. In addition to the two glasses at each meal you should also make sure you have water with them as well at least a glass or two along with having water in between. You can also have a glass or two of fresh juice in between your main juice drinking meals, just don’t ever forget to drink purified water it’s crucial that your body is made of mostly water you need it to survive juice alone is not enough.
If your method for cleansing is through drinking smoothies or green smoothies for directions will be similar but slightly different. Depending upon the serving size you can have anywhere between one large glass or two smaller glasses of smoothies within each time you normally eat a meal or along with a meal. You generally need to drink more juice than you do drinking smoothies because juice contains no fiber and smoothies do and they generally are more filling as a result. If you’re curious what kind of juice I would personally recommend you take I recommend doing a minimum mixture of beet juice, cucumber juice, carrot juice, celery juice and anything else you might want to add for sweetness like apple Juice. As regards the smoothies I generally recommend you add greens to your fruit smoothies. The fruits I would recommend are mostly berries like blueberries, elderberries, aronia berries, black berries, and at least one whole banana for thickness and potassium. The greens I recommend adding would be kale, spinach, or rainbow chard. Always remember not to be afraid to try out different varieties and change things up with greens and fruits you use for your juices and your smoothies so you keep things not only new and interesting but also healthy by introducing different nutrients and flavors on a regular basis. These are simple total cleanse directions and guidelines that anyone can follow and really work.
