Tips To Prepare For A Juice Cleanse

In the twenty-first century, the diets of human beings are laden with ingredients which are detrimental to our health. Artificial coloring, refined carbohydrates and processed meats are just a few examples of such hazardous foods. Therefore, the importance of a juice cleanse has never been more pronounced. During a juice cleanse, all solid foods in your diet are to be replaced with liquid foods such as juice, and drinks containing alcohol and caffeine are strictly prohibited, to allow your body to purge itself of toxic waste materials and restore itself back to optimal health.

Understandably, the thought of abstaining from your favorite fried foods or snacks can be very discomforting to some, but the health benefits of a juice cleanse far outweigh the psychological discomfort of not being able to indulge in a bacon sandwich or an ice-cream. With that in mind, below are some tips on how to prepare for a juice cleanse. 154

Hydrate

Hydration is essential to the efficient functioning of your body. Before starting your juice cleanse, make sure to drink plenty of water. Experts generally agree upon the recommendation of drinking eight glasses of water a day, a number which surprisingly, more than half of the world’s population are unable to hit as estimated by the European Hydration Institute. If plain water is not appetizing enough for you, add a slice of lemon or some mint leaves into it to give it a refreshing flavor! 84

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

As a juice cleanse is a radical departure from your normal diet, it is inevitable that your body will work overtime to compensate for this. As a result, it is pivotal that you get adequate sleep so as to keep your body in tip-top condition. During sleep, your body repairs its cells and keep your organs functioning well. Aim for at least eight hours of sleep a night. By getting into a healthy sleep cycle, it will also ensure that this habit carries over into your cleanse period, considering that you will not be experiencing the digestion of heavy foods which can hamper your sleep. 105
