What are the benefits of juice fasting?
1. Healthier body
Fruits and vegetables are good for you, no one is going to argue with that. Nutritional specialists suggest we eat 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables a day. When consumed at these levels a day we reduce the risk of stroke, cancer and heart disease. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that most of us aren’t getting enough fruit and vegetables. Just 1 in 10 adults meet the federal fruit and vegetables recommendations according to a CDC study.
Having a juice a day makes it so easy to incorporate these daily portions into our diet.
Studies have found a potential link between certain juices and health:
Kale juice may improve lipid levels, such as cholesterol, which affect your risk of heart disease.
Carrot juice may reduce oxidative stress in cells in women treated for breast cancer.
Citrus-based juices and carrot juice may reduce heart disease risk.
2. Helps eliminate toxins
Through our everyday life we are exposed to toxins. Toxic intake which is not excreted properly may cause bloating, gas, headaches, constipation, headaches, fatigue, nausea, skin problems, bad breath and bring your energy levels down. Our liver and kidney do quite a good job of filtering and eliminating most ingested toxins by drawing substances out of the bloodstream and processing them for the body to excrete as waste. A juice filled with vegetables and fruit broken down into an easily digestible form simply helps support our bodies function as they should.
3. Weight loss
Juice helps you feel fuller so you are less likely to reach for the afternoon snacks that are full of sugars and carbohydrates. Proponents to using juice as a way to improve health and weight loss claim the lowered calorie intake has short term benefits of losing weight but in the long-term have health consequences.
Well, we aren’t suggesting you go on a juice diet and stop eating other nutrient-rich solid food! On average we should all be getting a 2000 calorie-rich diet. Juice can simply be one way to up your intake of nutrients, but whole fruits and vegetables should still be a part of your daily diet, together with exercise.
4. Improved energy and mood
Juice floods your body with nutrients in their natural state creating a lasting, clean energy, not the ups and downs and crashes we can get from coffee and sugar. This snowballs into a general sense of achievement, and improvement in overall lifestyle and mindset. Give it 15-20 minutes and you should be feeling a nice boost after each juice.
5. Improves gut health
Bloated? Irritated bowels? Sensitive stomach? A juice cleanse can help reset your gut. When you drink cold-pressed, raw fruit and vegetable juice, you’re greatly reducing the amount of input and stress that your gut experiences.
6. Keeps you hydrated and your skin will be glowing
More than 50% of people are dehydrated – consuming less than the recommended daily 5-6 glasses of non-caffeinated beverages. Drinking adequate fluids helps the body function more efficiently, improves energy, and helps remove toxins more effectively. Hydration also makes your skin glow.
The pros and cons of detoxing
Detoxing has both pros and cons, and its effectiveness can vary depending on individual circumstances and approaches. Pros include the potential for improved digestion, increased energy, clearer skin, and enhanced mental clarity. It can also jumpstart healthier eating habits and provide a sense of renewal. However, cons may arise if detoxing is overly restrictive, leading to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and a weakened immune system. Some detox methods can be uncomfortable and challenging, causing headaches, fatigue, and irritability. Additionally, extreme detox programs may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with underlying health conditions. It’s essential to approach detoxing mindfully, seeking professional guidance if needed, and choosing methods that align with individual goals and health considerations.
The importance of taking time out from everyday life and focusing solely on yourself was becoming apparent with more and more people experiencing burnout and anxiety. The idea behind evolved from this growing need for people to slow down and just be themselves without the daily stresses, responsibilities, and rush of everyday life.
We intend to bring Asia’s essence to Europe without the 12+ hour plane journey to get there. Inspired by a trip to Indonesia, the owner has taken ideas from Bali in both the architecture and the peaceful, relaxed nature of its people. We don’t rush or have busy schedules and our team of staff are warm and welcoming.
A Detox Retreat is a purposeful getaway designed to support and facilitate the body’s natural detoxification processes, helping individuals rid themselves of accumulated toxins and promote overall well-being. These retreats typically take place in serene and rejuvenating environments, offering a break from the demands of daily life. A Detox Retreat combines a range of practices and strategies, including juice cleanses, body treatments, yoga, meditation, and various holistic therapies. The goal is to cleanse the body, enhance vitality, improve digestion, boost energy levels, and achieve mental clarity. Participants often leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and equipped with knowledge and tools for maintaining a healthier lifestyle. It’s essential to choose a Detox Retreat that aligns with your goals and consult with healthcare professionals before embarking on any detox program to ensure it’s safe and suitable for your individual needs.
Detoxing your body can be achieved through several approaches, but it’s essential to do so safely and mindfully. Start by staying hydrated with plenty of water to flush toxins from your system. Incorporate a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while limiting processed foods, sugar, and caffeine. Herbal teas and supplements can support the detox process. Engage in regular physical activity to promote circulation and the elimination of toxins through sweat. Adequate sleep is crucial for your body’s natural detoxification processes. Consider practices like dry brushing, sauna sessions, or hot baths to enhance toxin elimination through the skin. Finally, meditation and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress and support mental clarity.

Detox drinks and juice smoothies can be made with an endless variety of ingredients, but it’s generally best to include more vegetables than fruits to keep the natural sugars to a minimum. We suggest an 80:20 split. The fewer sweet ingredients you use, the less you’ll crave sugary fruits and vegetables, priming your palate for healthier foods and drinks. It’s a process!
We are all so busy in our everyday lives so being able to consume our recommended daily dose of vegetables and fruit can be cumbersome with lots of food prep and time required. When done correctly, a glass of juice can give you an easy and convenient way to achieve your daily nutritional needs.
If you are feeling completely lethargic, bloated and your skin is breaking out, then using juice as part of a periodic detox is also a great way to reset your body. According to Dr.Merrell, author of the book ‘The Detox Prescription’, it’s also important to combine a holistic approach including light yoga practices, basic self-care, beginning meditation and sleep hygiene to reset body, mind and spirit.
The frequency of detoxification depends on individual factors, lifestyle, and goals. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as our bodies have their natural detoxification mechanisms. However, periodic detox efforts can be beneficial. Many experts suggest a seasonal detox, roughly four times a year, aligning with the changing seasons. This approach allows for a reset and removal of accumulated toxins. However, it’s essential to listen to your body and not overdo it. Some individuals may benefit from more frequent, mild detox practices, while others may choose an annual or biannual cleanse. Ultimately, the key is to strike a balance between supporting your body’s natural detox processes and avoiding excessive or overly restrictive detox regimes. Always consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist before starting any detox program to ensure it’s suitable for your specific needs and health status.
