Moral of the story?
Juice cleanses may seem effective, but they can be dangerous for your health.
A nutritious juice once in a while, when incorporated into a healthy diet, can be beneficial. However, when it’s taken to the extreme, like in a full juice cleanse, it can do much more harm than good.
Cleanses are usually critically low in calories and protein, and won’t give your body enough energy to function throughout the day. Starving yourself won't help your metabolism and definitely won't fuel you through a workout.
Juices are typically made from fruits and vegetables, which are definitely healthy items, but can have a lot of sugar when concentrated into a juice.
The high sugar consumption during a juice cleanse can spike up your blood sugar levels, which can lead to fatigue, increased appetite and many other symptoms.
Additionally, fiber and some antioxidants in the skins of fruit and vegetables are often lost in the juicing process. This means you won't feel as full, due to the loss of fiber and the fact that you are drinking your meals, as opposed to chewing them.
If you want to get rid of the toxins in your body and slim down, avoid all processed foods and eat clean. Be sure to stay hydrated with water, but avoid alcohol and junk food.
Losing weight overnight isn’t realistic, and yo-yo dieting can be extremely dangerous to your body. Try to avoid juice cleanses and focus on a clean diet that includes regular physical activity.
