PRECLEANSE

BEFORE YOU START YOUR CLEANSE, PREPARE YOUR BODY FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD. PRE-CLEANSING HELPS YOU GET THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! TAKING TIME TO PRE-CLEANSE CAN HELP EASE THE DETOXIFICATION SYMPTOMS OVER THE FIRST FEW DAYS AND EVEN SET YOU UP FOR A MORE EFFECTIVE CLEANSE OVERALL. BELIEVE US, IT’S WORTH IT! 

AT LEAST 24-48 HRS PRIOR TO YOUR START DATE, ELIMINATE THE FOLLOWING:

- DAIRY (YOGURT, MILK, CHEESE, EGGS)

- WHEAT (BREAD, MUFFINS, SCONES, PASTA, PASTRIES, ETC.)

- MEAT (FISH, CHICKEN, PORK, BEEF, ETC)

- SUGAR

- ALCOHOL

- SALT (WHITE OR TABLE SALT, PACKAGED/PROCESSED FOODS WITH HIGH SODIUM CONTENT)

- COFFEE (PRO-TIP: IF YOU’RE CURRENTLY A REGULAR COFFEE DRINKER, SWITCH TO FRESHLY BREWED YERBA MATE, GREEN TEA!)

**YOU MAY REDUCE AND/OR ELIMINATE THESE GRADUALLY OR ALL AT ONCE. THESE CAN ALL BE RE-INTRODUCED SLOWLY AFTER YOUR CLEANSE.

INSTEAD OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN’T HAVE, THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE AMAZING FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES YOU CAN HAVE BEFORE THE START OF YOUR CLEANSE! AS YOU ELIMINATE THE COMMON ALLERGENS LISTED ABOVE, INCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF WATER, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO START YOUR CLEANSE OFF STRONG. 

DAY ONE

WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR JUICE CLEANSE! 

A COMMON QUESTION ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE CLEANSE IS: JUST WHAT ORDER DO I DRINK THESE IN? BUT DON’T BE AFRAID, THIS IS YOUR JUICE CLEANSE AFTER ALL! TRY TO DRINK A JUICE ABOUT EVERY 2-3 HOURS FOR SUSTAINED ENERGY.

WHAT ABOUT DETOX SYMPTOMS?

AS YOUR BODY BEGINS TO CLEANSE ITSELF OF TOXINS, INITIAL DETOX SYMPTOMS MAY BEGIN TO SET IN AROUND LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING TIME ON THIS FIRST DAY. THIS IS ALL TO BE EXPECTED AND EMBRACED, IT’S PART OF THE PROCESS! THESE SYMPTOMS ARE NORMAL AND USUALLY, THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS ARE THE MOST CHALLENGING. YOU COULD POTENTIALLY EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

- TIREDNESS

- HUNGER

- MOODINESS

- ANGER

- UNEASINESS

- WEAKNESS

- LIGHTHEADEDNESS

- INSOMNIA

- SKIN BREAK OUTS

- BODY ODOR

- HEADACHES

- FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS

- FREQUENT ELIMINATION

- GAS AND/OR BLOATING 

TAKE NOTE OF HOW YOU FEEL THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY AND LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. IF YOU’RE TIRED, FEELING WEAK OR UNEASY, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK, LITERALLY. ALLOW YOURSELF TO REST!

HERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP MAKE YOUR JUICE CLEANSE MORE PLEASANT AND EFFECTIVE:

- TAKE A NAP - REST UP AND ALLOW YOUR BODY TO CLEANSE AND HEAL

- GET A MASSAGE

- DRY SKIN BRUSH - FEELS NICE AND IS VERY EFFECTIVE AT STIMULATING LYMPHATIC FLOW

- DRINK HERBAL TEAS - CHAMOMILE, PEPPERMINT, ROOIBOS, ROASTED DANDELION ROOT

- TAKE A SAUNA! INFRARED SAUNAS ESPECIALLY ARE EXCELLENT FOR ASSISTING IN DETOXIFICATION

- GET OUTSIDE AND TAKE A WALK - ANYTIME! ANYWHERE! BREATHE DEEPLY

- TAKE A BATH WITH EPSOM SALT (ESSENTIAL OILS ARE GREAT TOO!)

- HEATING PADS FOR SORE/ACHY AREAS

- LIGHT EXERCISE OR YOGA - YOGA IS GREAT TO CALM YOUR MIND AND ASSIST WITH DETOXING

- GET YOUR JUICES AND DRINK THEM SLOWLY! 

CONSTANTLY THINKING OF FOOD? DYING FOR SOMETHING TO CHEW? DETOX SYMPTOMS TOO INTENSE? TRY EATING A PIECE OF RAW FRUIT OR VEGETABLES! STICK TO ONE THING AT A TIME. FOR EXAMPLE, DON’T MIX CARROTS AND BANANAS IN THE SAME SNACK. JUST EAT ONE OR THE OTHER.

EXAMPLES OF SUITABLE SNACKS ARE:

- A FEW STALKS OF CELERY

- HALF A SLICED CUCUMBER

- 1- /2 OF AN AVOCADO (TRY IT WITH A SPRINKLE OF HIMALAYAN PINK SALT!)

- HALF A BANANA

- AN APPLE

- MELON

- A CUP OF CARROT STICKS (1-2 CARROTS)

- HOMEMADE OR ORGANIC VEGETABLE BROTH

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT YOUR COLON: DURING YOUR CLEANSE, YOUR SYSTEM WILL BE DUMPING A LOT OF TOXINS INTO YOUR COLON. IF YOU WANT TO ENSURE ELIMINATION (POOPING) OR HAVE A HISTORY OF CONSTIPATION YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER TAKING TRIPHALA HERBAL COLON CLEANSE CAPSULES DURING YOUR CLEANSE. THIS AYURVEDIC BLEND OF HERBS IS A VERY GENTLE AND EFFECTIVE FORMULA FOR STIMULATING ELIMINATION AND MAY ALSO ALLEVIATE GASSINESS AND BLOATING WHEN CLEANSING. WE DO NOT SELL TRIPHALA CAPSULES, BUT THEY CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE OR AT NATURAL GROCERS AND AT MOST WALMART LOCATIONS.
