Hello Friends!
I came across an article in the Wall Street Journal recently dealing with the debate over juice cleanses. Many people who participate in these cleanses have raved about the effects the juicing has on the cleanser’s overall demeanor and health. I have always been skeptical.
My sister and I were looking into doing one last summer when we found the BluePrint Cleanse juices in our local Whole Foods. We immediately went home and researched the idea behind it. They are advertised as a specific diet that will rid it’s consumers of toxins in the body-which toxins, I am not sure.
These juicing businesses have made huge amounts of money advertising their restrictive diets with the support of many doctors who share little information in terms of what is scientifically proven.
I do not disagree with people who say they feel better after participating in a restrictive diet. The satisfaction alone of people about to have self control would make me feel great! However, I do wonder whether the results are more mental than physical.
In my opinion, if you sustain a healthy diet for a long period while staying away from the foods your body might be sensitive to, you should feel great all the time. Cutting out certain nutritious necessities may hurt your body in the long run.
Everything in moderation… right?
Peace,
Fiona
