01 Feb How to detoxify the body?

More and more people are committed to the  idea of ​​having a healthier diet. As  a result of this, detox juices have become popular again.

In fact, although until a couple of years ago we associated detox juices  with recipes for weight loss, today  we know that consuming fruit and vegetable smoothies as part of our eating routines brings us many additional benefits.

In this article, we will explain what makes detox juices so special, which even some celebrities recommend and why including them in your diet can help you purify your body.

“We are what we eat”

Surely you have also heard the famous phrase “you are what you eat.” Although  we are aware of the importance of eating healthy, sometimes it is impossible to avoid processed foods that deteriorate our health, especially when we study,  work and  don’t have time to prepare all the meals that we consume every day.

For this reason, our body ends up accumulating a large amount of toxins that affect the organs that are responsible for synthesizing nutrients and purifying our body, such as the liver and kidney.

As a consequence of this excess of toxins, diseases appear that gradually deteriorate the functions of our body.

Consuming detox juices for 15 days helps to purify your body:

The reason why our body has such a hard time getting rid of toxins from processed foods, flours, and even some proteins like meat and chicken, is  because they have an acidic pH.

This means that our organs must make a greater effort to process them, unlike fruits and vegetables, whose pH is rather alkaline and favor the detoxification process of our body.

Include detox juices in your diet, for at least 15 days every month. It is a great way to help your body eliminate toxins that damage your health.

In fact, if you know how to combine the fruits and vegetables that you include in your smoothies they can become  a very rich and nutritious companion for your meals.

For example: The cucumber, green apple, lemon and spinach smoothie.

There are also those who combine other fruits such as kiwi, pineapple and oranges with  green leafy vegetables that have the greatest benefits for the body.

What detox juices you use  depends on the flavors that you like best and your health objectives. All of these fruits and vegetables are alkaline and will be healthy for your body.

How do I know if I need to consume detox juices?

The body is very wise and  alerts us when it needs extra help.

That is why if while eating, you experience symptoms such as abdominal bloating, poor digestion, bad breath, nausea, fatigue or irritability, you are  likely including too many processed foods in your diet and  need to start detoxifying your body.

However, remember to consult your nutritionist to analyze your health situation and objectives and recommend a diet that is best suited for you.
