Why Cleanse?

We accumulate these toxins over a period of time and eventually our bodies succumb, in the form of sinus issues, low energy, poor skin quality, and further down the road develop into more challenging imbalances. We need to eliminate these built up toxins on a consistent basis and free ourselves from these bothersome concerns or we become a slave to them.  They chip away stripping us of our energy and stealing our youth.  Aches, pains, sallow skin, fatigue … sound familiar to some of you?  Detoxification is a simple natural process that stimulates your body to eliminate the toxic waste products that build up in your cell tissues and organs and which can be a major factor in making you look and feel less than average.

On a juice cleanse we aim to:

Rebalance and oxygenate the body

Alkalize the system so disease does not thrive
Give digestion a rest and in turn banish fatigue and fuel the body with energy
Shift waste from in to out by removing acidic build-up in the colon

Encourage proper nutrient absorption
Re-hydrate the system
Break negative habits often associated with rapid aging

So everyone asks do you LOSE weight?  The primary goal of a juice cleanse is not weight loss although by consuming a juice cleanse most lose weight.  Does that make sense? A juice cleanse is not a fad diet it is a way to allow our body to focus on healing and repairing things that may be in a state of disarray.  When we rid the body of built up waste and toxins, we allow ourselves to experience clarity, vitality and unlimited energy and often times weight loss.  Now we’re talking! In our world we call it “shifting waste”.  This is how we keep the weight from returning when the cleanse period is over.

A juice cleanse is NOT about starving yourself by removing solids.  It’s not a crash diet, which depletes your body of the nutrients it needs and leaves you tired and irritable. If designed correctly, a juice cleanse should provide you the highest possible compliment of nutrients in a form the body will devour and most importantly allow you to carry on with your typical week.  We always stress to clients, rest if required and if not, POWER ON.

Elimination is key and while it sounds a bit funky, juice stirs up old, trapped toxins like no other!!  Waste shift is paramount to the success of a juice cleanse and keep front and centre the notion that if you don’t eliminate them, you reabsorb them –NOT GOOD!!!  We have lots of elimination channels and I’ll cover them in a future post so stay tuned.  But for now when embarking on a juice cleanse turn your thinking away from weight loss and on to “waste shift” and I think you will be pleased with the result.  This is the point at which your body will peak.  It is then we practice the acid/alkaline balance from a state of equilibrium. It is then we feel and look good both inside and out.

Anti aging is the second most popular query and a topic probably worthy of its own post, but let me broach it here.  Getting older is inevitable, but the degeneration, which often accompanies it, for most of us, is not.  Ever heard of Dr. Norman Walker?  He’s our it guy when it comes to all things juice.  Most of his books were written many years ago and are still SPOT on regarding weight loss and anti aging.  Simply put  … you achieve Nature’s perfect weight by nourishing your cells with food that is ALIVE.   The body is elastic and thankfully for us it will take punishment for a fair number of years before the downward slide occurs.  Dr Walker says this is about age 40 or after about “1000” regular meals.  Many call the slippery slope after 40 the “aging process”.  How and what you eat has a lot to do with how rapidly you age.  And when your cells are properly nourished, you will GLOW.  All of YOU will vibrate from the inside!   You can sensibly protect your rig from the ravages of time by keeping to a routine of periodic inner sweeps with nutritional juice cleanses AND drinking green juice consistently.

I’ll close this post off with stating the obvious, we are talking about a nutritional juice cleanse – not a processed, pasteurized fruit juice off the shelf of your local store.  Whether you DIY or purchase, your juice cleanse must be made with whole, raw, fresh ingredients, organic when possible, so it is loaded with nutrients and enzymes.   This is OUR mantra at Lucky You Juice Cleanse.  Remember, it is the “juice” that is doing the work.  The more alive and unprocessed the juice the more your body and soul will “drink” it up.
