Food Tip #6

Juice Detox

Hi everyone,
I hope you have all been sticking to your weight loss goals and and pumping the muscles! If not, that's ok.. every day you start is doing you good.

Today I have an awesome juice detox recipe for you which is super easy and only uses two ingredients commonly and cheaply found in supermarkets.

Let me first tell you about what a juice detox is all about. When consuming food multiple times a day it is inevitable that we are also consuming toxins which is usually stored in the fat in your body. This becomes a problem when your body's toxic load is greater than your internal cleanser can remove leading to a weakened immune system. This results in sickness, fatigue, sluggishness and premature death.

That is why adding fresh juice is one of the best choices of detoxification because it has a whole bunch of nutrients and vitamins to help combat and remove these toxins in your body.

As a challenge, try going one day without consuming solid food and instead replace it with a fruit or vegetable juice. It starts by going one meal at a time and swapping your regular meal with a juice. It will be hard at first but you will love the feeling and energy it gives you once you achieve it. If you are able to achieve one day fast, try the 3 day fast if you are brave enough! This is an ultimate juice fast and will really detoxify your body completely.

For a really simple juice recipe that is so packed with vitamins, try this Kiwi and Orange Juice:

You'll need:
2 Kiwis
2 Oranges

Method:
Wash kiwi well and juice it with the skin intact. Instead of peeling the oranges, just cut out the orange skin and leave as much white pith as possible as they are packed with antioxidants.

Nutrients:
You will find a surprising amount of nutrients in this simple juice including the following:

• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Vitamin K
• Hesperetin
• Limonoid

Health Benefits

These packed nutrients lead to the following health benefits:

• Reduced bad cholesterol
• Anti viral properties
• Detoxification 
• Increases iron absorption
• Reduces Asthma 
• Protects from respiratory disorders

With all these benefits, what can you possible lose! (except all those bad toxins of course )
