Vegetable and fruit juices can be a quick and easy way to consume a TON of nutrition. When you put veggies and fruits into a juicing machine, the fiber is removed and you are left with the essence of the plant – a liquid that requires virtually no digestion but is packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemical antioxidants.
Among these vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in juices are many compounds that can optimize the metabolic duties of your body, including detoxification. So by juicing, you are supplying your body with the tools it needs to carry out its duties, such as keeping your body healthy and clean.
For example, fruits and veggies are great for liver health and function. The liver is the center of detoxification in the body. This organ is responsible for detoxifying and deactivating toxic substances and readying them for elimination through your feces or urine. Plant compounds boost your liver performance and protect this detoxifying organ.
We have compiled a list of healthy juice recipes to help detoxify your body.
