Get some friends
Juice detoxing is going to be easier if you surround yourself with people who understand what you are going through. Although your friends and family might generally help, if you can get someone else to go through a juice detox at the same time, then you will find someone you can lean on during the process.
Get rid of all food temptations
Plan and prepare to avoid TV and radio while you are undertaking a fruit juice detox. Also consider the effect of adverts in magazines and newspapers. So this is going to sound tough, but it may be that watching television during a juice cleanse at all could be problematic. Also avoid situations at work, and socially where food could become an issue.
Make sure you stay motivated
Find a mechanism to keep your motivation going. This might be a rewards process that you put in place, or you ask a friend or relative to put in place. It might be putting up a picture on the wall of what you want to achieve from your juice fast.
Get plenty of fresh air
Not eating can make you feel really strange, so make sure you get lots of fresh air and get the blood circulating round your body. Don’t take strenuous exercise, as this can upset your natural balance during a juice detox, but make sure that you do get out into the open so that you can exercise gently and also get a fresh perspective.
Consider cleansing the colon
If you are intending to undertake a juice detox of more than 48 hours, it is worth considering having some professional colon cleansing. The reason for this is that a lot of toxins are not eradicated during normal bowel movements, and can be reabsorbed into our bodies. As the detox increases the volume and speed that toxins are released from our bodies, it’s important that you give your body a helping hand to maximize the cleansing of toxins from your system.
Get plenty of sleep
You will find during a juice fast that your stamina will not be as high as it usually is. Although this is only a temporary measure, and your natural fitness and vibrance will rapidly increase after juice cleansing in conjunction with a healthy diet and new improved healthy lifestyle, getting sleep will help you to continue life normally during your juice detox.
