Why choose a juice cleanse?

Natural juice is a live food that carries vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes to the body quickly and effectively. You need enzymes for cleansing and rebuilding. You need antioxidants to fight aging and for boosting your immune system. Raw juice is almost invisible to your digestive system since it require virtually no digestion. Nutrients are absorbed and utilized with minimal work on your digestive system. A juice cleanse gives your body a chance to rest and recover without suffering deprivation.

Better health is created by consuming whole foods and drinking alkalinizing water. Whole foods are foods that are unprocessed and unrefined as little as possible.

Liberal amounts of green based juice and a gallon of water a day, neutralizes stored acid waste, and if consumed daily in conjunction with a good diet, gently removes acids from the body. A juice cleanse supplemented with large amounts of alkaline water is both cleansing and replenishing. Fresh and natural fruit and vegetables juices are healing to the body.
