Detox juicing is an amazing thing to do. It is all about looking after your body and making the most of life. You see, when you have your health, you have hope. And when you have hope, you have everything.

If you’re not sure of whether to try detox juicing, check out these 10 reasons why you need to start today:

1. Give your body what it needs.

The human body NEEDS the vitamins and minerals inside fresh fruits and vegetables to survive. We evolved on a diet of mainly plants and as such, we depend on them still. However, sometimes it’s hard to get all the nutrients we need, and this is why juicing is so great.

In one glass, you can have 6 carrots, 3 apples, and chunk of ginger (I had one of these for breakfast!). In another, beetroot, celery, grapefruit, lemon, ginger, cayenne pepper and turmeric (I call it the liver cleanser). In another, a whole bunch of different fruits and vegetables. You get the idea.

You’re grabbing the amazing nutrients from a whole array of different stuff and cramming it  into a glass, making for a potent and powerful health elixir.

Cleansing and detoxing may be a current trending topic, but it’s not a new idea. Not to your body anyway. Every day the body cleans itself by using the colon, liver and kidneys, lymphatic system, skin, and lungs to detoxify. On the cellular level, regeneration is alway occurring.

If our body is detoxing on an ongoing basis, then why do we experience sluggishness? Just as you might get tired and overworked from your 9-5 job, your body also suffers, and when it doesn’t get proper nutrients, the situation worsens. Sometimes we need to cleanse through diet to give the natural process a boost. One of the best and easiest ways to do this is through juicing.

Research has shown Chlorella to be extraordinarily effective in helping to eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and radiation from the body. Nadia, Brydon, Medical Herbalist and Raw Food Educator uses Chlorella extensively in her work.  In this interview she shares a wealth of information about how to detox with chlorella.

Q1 You recently gave a talk about Chlorella. Can you tell us how you came to be so interested in it?

I first began to learn the importance of all green foods when studying in the USA at the Hippocrates Institute about 8 years ago.  The Institute in their wisdom always puts every single patient on Chlorella because it’s the ultimate green food.

It has incredible detoxifying, micronutrient, immune boosting and healing qualities and I saw at the Institute firsthand how for hundreds of people it just seemed to not only give incredible energy but was a real miracle food, healing so many people.

Home Spa Detox

Don’t you sometimes feel that you would like to spend a weekend relaxing and indulging yourself  at a health spa? In these busy days of trying to balance work, family and social commitments it’s often hard to find time for ourselves. Some “me time” is important to counteract the stresses of today’s hectic lifestyle.  But the high cost of a health spa can often make it impossible. So let’s look at how you can have a 2 day home spa detox.

Set aside a weekend or 2 days when you have no commitments. If you have children try to get a grandparent or friend to have them for the weekend. The most important thing about the weekend is that you feel relaxed and not guilty about spending time on yourself.

Get yourself organized before the weekend with everything you will need for the 2 day home spa detox. If your diet is full of processed or junk food you should try to cut down on them during the 2 weeks before you start the weekend detox. Reduce regular tea, coffee, soft drinks and alcohol. Try to find ways of getting more fruit and vegetables into your diet. Eat more fruit instead of high fat and sugar snacks. Drink more pure water.

Detoxification seems to be all the rage these days. As well it should be at – especially at a time when even newborns are found to be born with hundreds of known poisons already in their bloodstream. It’s a shame, and it’s important to know that a lot of problems related to having a toxic body can be completely avoided by detoxifying your body deeply. Deep detoxification is a process, and it doesn’t happen in just a week or two. But, if you’re interested in cleansing your body, there is no time like the present to start, and below are three easy techniques to get started with.

Colon Cleansing
Are you aware that most people have more than ten pounds of old, uneliminated fecal matter inside them? It’s a lot of filth, that filth can easily be removed by cleansing your colon. Colon cleansing is often done with enemas or professional colonics, and these are the most thorough methods. Often, however, colon cleansing often needs to be done repeatedly to achieve the desired detoxification results. And, it’s important that you always replenish your healthy bacteria with probiotics after doing any colon cleansing.
