How to get ready for your juice cleanse

What you should keep in mind before your juice cleanse:

1. Glass of warm water with lemon: introduce a glass of warm water with lemon first thing in             
    the morning. This enables your digestive system to wake up efficiently and encourages    
    initial  release of toxins. 

2. Reduce all those delicious indulgences: wheat, dairy, coffee, sugar, high fat foods, alcohol,   
     bad fats and red meat. 

3. Fruit and vegetable juice: Introduce fresh fruit and vegetable juices, raw greens and     
     vegetables. 

4. Avoid having a big dinner the night before you start juice cleanse otherwise the initial side-
     effects of your 1st day juice cleanse may become more intense. 

5. Exercise: Do more intense detoxifying exercises daily prior to your detox: jogging, 
     swimming, yoga. The whole-body exercise is great for eliminating toxins even without   
     embarking on any detox plan. 

6. Hot bath: Have a warm to hot bath with some Epsom Bath Salt in the evening. It is used to  
     remove toxins from the body, reduce swelling and improve skin structure, relieve muscles  
     pain, ease stress and for general body relaxation. 

7. Mind set: Work on your mind set. It is as important, in some cases even more so, as the 
     physical preparation of your body before the juice cleansing. Remember the saying: ‘Deal    
     with  your mind and the body will follow’.
