It is finally starting to get warmer, and the weight of all the junk food and toxins consumed over the winter is starting to bear on us. The best thing that can help would be a short juice cleanse, but that may seem a little hard. So what can you do to ensure that your cleanse is as easy and gentle as possible, while also being highly effective?
1. Pick produce that you enjoy!
The main thing about a juice cleanse is that many people think that the juice that they consume is going to be gross. Making a fruit juice, or adding vegetables in with some flavorful fruit can help to mask any unwanted flavors. But more importantly, stick to produce you WANT to consume.
2. Understand that it is going to get worse before it gets better
You will feel hungry, tired, and maybe a bit cranky. This is normal and is a sign of toxins leaving your body. Push through it and you will be alright.
3. Remember the Whys
In order to avoid throwing in the towel, remind yourself why you are doing this. Is it because you want to be healthier, or feel better in your body? Remembering why you are cleaning can help you push through it.
4. Give yourself time
Easing yourself into a cleanse can help to reduce all of those worrisome symptoms, such as hunger and crankiness. It also helps your body to cleanse more before the full cleanse even happens.
5. Practice self-care
We all have to show ourselves some self-love. Taking your cleanse as a time to relax and focus on what you might be doing to harm your body can help you to ensure you do not build up toxins again in the near future.
