3 Day Juice Cleanses
A 3 day juice cleanse is a more feasable option for most of us who are new to juice fasting and fasting. We can get our toes wet and see if we like it. With a juice cleanse, you’ll only be eating raw fruit and vegetables. Some people believe that in doing so, you’ll detox your body as well, since it doesn’t have to work as hard digesting the raw juices. Aside from any potential detoxification benefits, a juice fast, being entirely made up of fruits and vegetables, is very rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
It’s not a bad idea to attempt your first 3 day juice cleanse on a holiday or 3 day weekend, if you work outside the home.
During your 3 day juice cleanse, it’s recommended you consume a minimum of 32 to 64 ounces of vegetable and fruit juice each day. You can juice your materials at home if you have a juicer, or you can purchase your juices ahead of time. If you buy your juice, make sure it’s 100% raw fruit and/or veggie juice with no additives.
Some favorites for a 3 day juice cleanse:
- Pineapples
- Cranberries
- Kale
- Carrots
- Cabbage
- Beets
- Apples
- Spinach
Having been on juice only for 3 days, when you’re done with your cleanse make sure you introduce your body back to solid and cooked foods in a gradual fashion, so as not to shock your digestive system. You can start with eating raw, unjuiced fruit or steamed vegetables. Plain foods like salad, rice or crackers are a good follow up if your body handles the first solids well.
The easiest way to continue juicing as a lifelong habit for heath and not just a one-off “cleanse” or weight loss tool is by owning your own juicer. Here are a few of the most popular juicers for your 3 day juice cleanse and beyond:
