If you were to open the door to my fridge on DAYS 1-3 of my #Detox Juice Cleanse. This is pretty much what you’ll find, multiple bottles of S.Pellegrino, BluePrint Cold Pressed Juices, and fresh juice blends from www.nekterjuicebar.com or a custom juice blend from my local www.wholefoodsmarket.com
Our bodies are designed to be Alkaline not acidic. Acidic forming foods typically considered “processed foods” that leave behind an acidic residue in our bodies. All the food we consume burns with the oxygen in our cells to produce energy, equaling our fuel.
Processed foods slow down the body causing low energy, poor health, and weight problems.
Foods To Avoid
- Red Meat
- Sugar
- White Flours (Pastas & Bread)
- Dairy
- Processed Packaged Snacks
 
As tempting as it may seem, avoid this at all cost on your DETOX cleanse.
Processed foods have no health benefits whats so ever, they leave you feeling bloated and fatigued. You are what you eat is a “saying” we often hear, and it’s not far from the truth one bit.

If a delivery service is a method you’d prefer for your #Detox Juice Cleanse. BluePrint is a great Cold Pressed Juice Company that delivers to most locations. You’ll noticed that a lot of these detox juice blends contain a spice like Cayenne, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon.
 Health Benefits:
- Cayenne cayenne pepper is currently gaining buzz for cleansing and detoxifying regimes, using the spice to stimulate circulation and neutralize acidity. Cayenne is a well-known digestive aid. It stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the flow of enzyme production and gastric juices. This aids the body’s ability to metabolize food (and toxins). Cayenne is a known circulatory stimulant. It also increases the pulse of our lymphatic and digestive rhythms. By heating the body, the natural process of detoxification is streamlined. Cayenne also causes us to sweat, another important process of detoxification. Combined with lemon juice and honey, cayenne tea is an excellent morning beverage for total body detox.
- Nutmeg Nutmeg acts as a tonic in many different ways, and therefore boosts the overall health of your body. More specifically, in terms of the liver and kidney where many of the toxins are stored and accumulated from the body, nutmeg can help eliminate them. It literally cleans those organs out of all the toxins that may be stored there from alcohol, drugs, pollution, food, or natural organic toxins. Furthermore, active ingredients in nutmeg help to dissolve kidney stones, and increase overall function and efficiency of the kidney and liver.
- Cinnamon
one teaspoon of cinnamon packs as much antioxidant potency as a half cup of blueberries, and cinnamon’s natural antimicrobial properties have been shown to fight strains of E. coli, as well as Candida yeast. It contains fiber, calcium, iron, and manganese.
I’ve listed the ingredients you’ll typically find in my juice blends. Each ingredient has a brief description of the vitamins and nutrients they contain providing your body with a bomb of antioxidants helping our bodies fight health problems, and protect us from environment pollutants. These juices will get your skin glowing and feeling fresh as a baby’s face.
I highly recommend you stick to juice blends, mineral (sparkling) & still water to truly benefit from the natural vitamins and antioxidants cleansing your body contributing to more energy, as well as, leaner and fit bodies. However, if this is too new to you, and the transition isn’t easy without actual food. Don’t put too much pressure and allow yourself smaller and cleaner meals like the photograph below.
