       TIPS:

      Detox Juices

      These are the juices that help your body flush out toxins and restore vitality. Most of us do not do nearly enough regular cleansing to help our bodies stay clean on the inside. Increasing our clean water intake, regular exercise, stretching and a regular practice of receiving massages can all aid in getting our detoxification system back in order. You will see and feel these changes quickly if you give your body a chance to get clean. The fastest way to do that is to stop putting in food or anything else other than juices and clean water for a few days, or even a few weeks if you can do it. Otherwise, start by replacing your first meal of the day with these juices – your results will not be as quick to materialize, but they will be just as dramatic as they do.

      You can mix and match these ingredients for great detoxifying juices with the understanding that the main purpose of the detox juice is to get those greens and astringent veggies to work for you without too much sweet. Here are some standard combinations for detoxing juices.

      Feel free to add handfuls of any of the greens in the first list to any juice for added cleansing power.

      One of our favorite super boosting detox drinks is Food Babe’s Romaine, Cucumber, Turmeric and Lemon ‘Cooler’ – it’s very zippy and refreshing and the Turmeric is incredibly good for you.

      

      Losing-Weight Juices

      The easiest way to lose weight with juicing is to replace one meal a day with a fresh juice to start. See how that goes for you and, if you want to, increase to two meals a day. Drink plenty of clean water, and try to get out and move your body, even a simple daily walk can do the trick.

      Juices high in the cleansing greens like chard and parsley and mineral-rich body-supporting greens like spinach will help your body support the weight loss without fatigue or draining of your nutritional reserves. Another important thing to remember about weight gain in these modern times is that many doctors attribute excess weight to toxicity levels in the body tissues and blood, so a good cleansing detox juice is very supportive of weight loss juicing.

      Pears, apples, lemons and greens are all great for helping the body cleanse and lose weight. Cucumbers and celery add a lightness and provide important nutrients to keep you healthy as you go. Kiwi, carrot and parsley boost your vitamin C and beta-carotene.

      Cucumber has long been known as a skin rejuvenator, either directly on the skin or by drinking. When possible buy organic un-waxed cucumbers so that you can juice the skins as well. Carrot will provide UV protection as well as giving your skin a healthy beta-carotene glow. Tomatoes are high in lycopene which has also recently been shown to be important in bone health. Maintaining healthy bones helps you maintain good posture and balance, keeping you young.

      Here are some examples of how to mix and match to get you started:

      Again, remember you can mix and match to taste as long as you keep a balance between fruits and vegetables. In the case of blueberries, their antioxidant properties are very high and they are less sweet than most berries. They also help improve memory, so you can remember how great you look!
