50 Healthy Juice Recipes for Body Detox

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.

Your liver deals with a lot of stresses in your daily life. From environmental pollutants in the air and all around us, to pesticides and chemicals in the foods we eat, our livers just can’t seem to catch a break.

What’s more, with changes in our diets and lifestyles, food becomes much more processed and packaged with emphasis on flavor, not nutrition. That means your liver has to work even harder to filter out the junk. To help turn the tide and help the body heal itself from within, many have started claiming that a “liver detox” is necessary to help flush out the toxins and essentially “reset” liver function so that it can do its job more effectively.

But some liver detoxes can do more harm than good! Click here to discover what scientific researchers have to say that will shock you…
