Оглавлениеthe body does indeed clean itself naturally - but only if it is given the chance to do so!
‘Detox’ is a bit of a buzz word in the world of health and nutrition, but not everyone buys into it. Many people, particularly in the medical world, often dismiss the notion that we ever need to detox. They reason that the body naturally ‘detoxes’ all the time, regardless of what we do.
This is true, the body does indeed clean itself naturally – but only if it is given the chance to do so! If you constantly pollute the environment in which your cells bathe there will always be a degree of toxicity in your system. There isn’t a wild animal on the planet who ever needs to ‘detox', but, then, there isn’t a wild animal on the planet who pollutes their system either.
This is why it is so worthwhile to give your organs and digestive system a much needed rest from the burden of all that processed food. It just so happens that a juicy detox is a wonderful way to do it. To get you started here’s my 3-Day Super Juice Detox, but all of the following recipes can be used for a 1, 2, or 3- day detox.

To fast-tox your detox, simply add a teaspoon of Juice Master’s Ultimate Detox Boost powder (see page 13) to any of the detox recipes.
Juice Master’s 3-Day Super Juice Detox
Enlightenment in Just 3 Days!
I am aware that the above headline sounds like one of those suspect flyers that come through the door and I am more than aware that mentioning getting lighter as a benefit of this Super Juice Detox programme could be seen as just a tad shallow (OK, very shallow). However, I am also aware that as much as we may hate ourselves for it, ‘shallow’ tends to beat health when it comes to reasons for going on a detox of any nature. Tell someone their system will be cleaner after a juice detox, they might decide to go on it. Tell them their stomach will be flatter and BOOM – they’re on it faster than high speed broadband.
Personally I am not bothered what the incentive is that gets people juicing, I just want them to experience it and make it part of their daily routine. If you are attracted to a flatter stomach and that’s what gets your juices flowing, then cool. If you are driven more by the health benefits, then again – fantastic.
‘I have just finished the 3-Day Super Juice Detox and I must write to thank you. I have lost 5 pounds in just 3 days and have experienced ‘enlightenment’ (love that expression). Moreover I just feel so much better. I did experience some ‘detox’ symptoms, as you mentioned I might, but it was nothing and certainly worth it for the way I feel now. Thank you again for making juicing part of my daily life.,

If you are overweight then clearly I am not suggesting you will get a flat stomach in just 3 days, but it will certainly feel and be much flatter than it was before you started. However, the best effect of this 3-Day Super Juice Detox is how it affects your mental state. Once you clean your system of caffeine, refined sugar, refined fats and other junk for 72 hours and flush and nurture your body with the finest freshly extracted ‘live’ fruit and vegetable juices, your nervous system becomes calmer, you start to think clearer and you begin to notice a heightened mental sharpness and awareness. The beautiful knock-on effect is that as your system becomes more ‘alkaline’ and you start to feel physically and mentally lighter, cravings for junk are reduced and the desire to eat and drink well are increased. This is why it is very rare for anyone to simply do a detox of this nature and go back to exactly what they were eating and drinking before they started. When you start to feel light, on both a mental and physical level, you create momentum and a desire to want to experience more of the same.
