Juicing Detox Recipes
There are literally
hundreds of detox drinks available on the internet and in
health-food stores however the vast majority of them have a
number of ingredients in common, many of which act as diuretics
(to flush out toxins) and laxatives (to flush out toxins in a
slightly different way!)
There are three major
types of detox drinks though and these are juices, water and
herbal teas.
Juices
Pretty much any fruit
and vegetable can be made into a detox juice drink with a
juicing machine. In this way, your fruit and veg retain much
higher quantities of vitamins and antioxidants which in turn
benefit you. According to detox experts the best juices for
detox purposes include celery, cucumber, carrot, apple,
pineapple, lemon and ginger however any drink that you want to
try can be tries – experiment is the key.
You should try to buy
organic produce fresh from a farm shop or somewhere similar so
that you know it has only been picked in the last 24-48 hours.
The longer a fruit or vegetable sits on a shelf the more of its
vitamin content it losses and the less it will help your detox.
Water
Distilled water or
mineral water is essential during a detox programme because it
is the main flushing-out ingredient. One point though – the
water needs to low-aluminium because aluminium is a heavy metal
and a toxin in its own right.
It is recommended that you try
to drink at least 8 glasses of
water a day however you should
be careful not to go overboard
as it is very easy to upset the
body’s natural and very delicate
water balance.
Herbal teas
There is a whole range of herbal
teas suitable for detoxing
however you must make sure that
the one you choose is naturally
caffeine free. Many people
automatically think that green
tea is a detox drink however
normal green tea contains
caffeine so be sure to find a
caffeine free alternative.
Dandelion and Burdock tea is
especially good for detoxing as
is jasmine and lemon tea. Try a
number of different varieties
until you find a few you like.
Some can be quite bitter however
a touch of honey works wonders.
Detox drinks are as important to
a detox regime as the diet
itself so find a couple you like
and stick to them. You can
always try a few more next time
you detox.
