Fruit Juice Detox Diet

The majority of fresh fruit and vegetables harbour many vitamins and minerals essential for fresh glowing skin. They are packed with anti-oxidants to accelerate healing, and are low in calories, so can be eaten or drunk in abundance. The best way to make juice is to use a juicer because unlike a liquidiser it separates the fibrous pulp from the juice.

One day fruit juice detox diet You should not be daunted by drinking liquid fruit juice for one day as it is refreshing and delicious to drink and by the end of the day you will be looking and feeling great. Fresh juice has a remarkable cleansing and regenerating effect on the entire system. Drink 5 glasses of fruit juices throughout the day. Beginning with a lemon squeezed into a glass of warm water. Lemon and water can be drunk at any time during this day, and even on this liquid detox diet day you should drink plenty of water throughout. I have added a couple of extra vegetable juices as well to put a bit of variety into your day.

Your fruit juice detox diet day should be spent relaxing. Please don’t choose a day when you are rushing about trying to beat deadlines.

We recommend that you spend no longer on a fruit juice detox diet than one day. If you are pregnant or have any other medical condition please consult a doctor first.

When making your own fruit juice, choose fresh organic fruit pieces which have no bruising on them. Homemade juice is delicious and will have a completely different appearance than when poured from a carton out of the fridge. Homemade juice is thicker and sometimes comes with a froth on top. As soon as you have made your juice it's best drunk straight away while it retains its goodness.

Drink your juice within 5 minutes of making as all fruit, especially apples, oxidize quickly, losing their nutrients.

After exercise it’s a good idea to dilute your juice with spring water, this gives the body the double benefit of fresh water with minerals and nutrients.

The skin of oranges and grapefruits contain toxins, so use sparingly.

Avoid juicing non organic rinds as these can be sprayed with pesticides.
