Top 3 Cleansing Juices & Smoothies to detox your diet

Another holiday season has come to an end, and our bodies are feeling the strain after weeks of excessive alcohol, sugary snacks and rich foods. Good intentions have gone out the window as we have all indulged in a little too much of foods we love, a little too often.

Don’t get sucked into a trendy detox diet that promises instant weight loss, a firming of wobbly thighs, improved vitality and radiant skin; the reality is more likely to be tiredness, bad breath, weakness, nausea, headaches and a compromised immune system.

To loose weight and feel lighter, exercise more, eat less and stick to a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, nuts & seeds, legumes & beans, whole grains and lean protein.

Incorporate green smoothies and vegetable juices into your diet. Besides the fact that you are getting so much more raw greens into your diet that you normally would, greens do amazing things for the body; they are extremely cleansing, they are high in vitamin and mineral content and are low in sugar and fat.
