Juice cleansing, also known as juice fasting, is a fasting method or a detox diet where a person will consume only fruit and vegetable juices to acquire essential nutrients while abstaining from consuming food. Is juicing really as good as it is cracked up to be? Benefits: 1) You can easily reach your daily dose of fruits and vegetables; 2) Your body can easily absorb the nutrients; 3) Reduces product wastage. Drawbacks: 1) You most likely won’t lose weight; 2) Too much natural sugar can lead to blood sugar spikes; 3) Your body doesn’t actually need a juice cleanse or detox (your body naturally detoxes everyday); 4) It can get very expensive; 5) You are not getting the fiber. Best option: consume whole foods, and try blending them into a smoothie rather than juicing.
