juice detox would be  a great solution because simply eating healthy foods isn’t always enough, and beet juice allows for a very beneficial dose of much needed  iron into the blood. This wonderful little root contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, vitamins A and C, niacin, biotin, and folic acid which is fantastic for pregnant moms as it could lower the risk of diseases such as spina bifida and other neural tube defects that can be found in newborn’s.

Beet root also has something which is great in the detoxifying process which is called glycine betaine which is a chemical compound discovered first in the sugar beets in the 19^th century. This chemical is known to act as a stimulating agent for liver cells (the most important organ in your body’s ability to detox. It also protects the bile ducts and liver in general. Coronary and cerebral arterial diseases have been shown to be greatly reduced and sometimes prevented by this compound by recent studies.

Along with carrot juice these two juices together make a potent combination for liver health, and if taken daily together or with other juices can make the detox process much more efficient as your liver is in much better condition to help do the cleansing! You wouldn’t want to use run down and broken tools to fix something, neither would you want a run down, overworked, and diseased liver to do your bodily cleansing. A Healthy liver equals a longer life and VASTLY more efficient total cleanse.

Remember, red colored veggies are typically good for the blood and that’s the channel through which so many of these toxins travel, and beets are some of the deepest pigments of red you can find in a veggie. This is so much so, it often stains the skin when cut open so you know this wonderful vegetable is chock full of nutrients and enzymes. If this isn’t enough reason to include beets in your regular juicing and body detoxification routine consider this last fact. During some early research in Hungary, Heinerman is reporting that Alexander Ferenczi, M.D., observed beets aiding cancer patients and he also performed studies that gave indications that beets could help animals fight various cancers as well. So next time you juice be sure to include some beet root in your beverage, your liver will thank you.

You should generally have a few glasses of each veggie juice per day spread out throughout the day but that can vary depending on your physical size. The fruit juices you should have more sparingly and should keep it at a minimum. Many people I’ve helped have used a small amount of fruit juice as a chaser for the veggie juice as the taste can be unpleasant.  I cannot stress enough how beneficial making your own juice can be to the total cleanse, especially when fasting. If you do not have a juicer, at some point I whole heartily recommend you buy one because bottled juice is missing much of the enzymes and vital chemicals that allow all those nutrients to be absorbed in the first place, I will address my personal recommendations for juicers in another article.

If you need to buy your juice, cucumber may be difficult to find but it can be found at the smaller independent health food stores. I have found organic carrot and beet juice (not from concentrate) at places like whole foods and trader Joes before as well, so no excuses everyone! I want you guys to be healthy. DO NOT BUY VEGGIE OR FRUIT JUICE BLENDS! The veggies blends like V8 have tons of sodium and are not good for you, and fruit blends are often way too high in sugar and are from concentrate, only buy the straight non from concentrate single juices, please. The fruit juice I recommend are Apple, Pear, smaller amounts of grape, and a little orange juice here and there. And don’t forget the most important rule…Drink 4-6 liters of water a day, this will truly clean your system out and give you a total body cleanse.

3-4 glasses of veggie juice: Cucumber,Beet,Carrot-at minimum.

1-2 glasses of fruit juice: apple(cloudy),pear, and smaller amounts of grape and orange.

4-6 liters of pure drinking water (no tap water please, it’s too toxic).

This total cleanse diet is not easy to do at first but as long as you go into for your first time, but its very important you give it time to work for any of this to be effective.
