Ah, the juice cleanse debate - possibly the most contentious topic at brunch tables since someone decided to put avocado on toast. Pull up a chair, and let's spill the tea (or should I say cold-pressed juice?) on this wellness phenomenon that's got everyone talking.
The internet's absolutely buzzing with juice-cleanse propaganda, isn't it? Every other scroll brings you face-to-face with another influencer clutching their rainbow array of bottles like they're precious elixirs of eternal youth.
And let's be honest, after that festive binge eating period, the idea of a reset is rather tempting.
But hang on a minute, before you dust off that ancient juicer, let's have a proper chat about what juice cleanses do to your poor, unsuspecting body.
Let's get juicy with the truth, shall we?
The Benefits of Juice Cleanses
Would you believe it, these liquid meals aren't just expensive bottles of fruit sugar masquerading as health food. When done properly, and this bit's rather important, juice cleanses can flood your system with more nutrients than you'd get from your half-hearted attempt at a side salad. It's like sending your body to a fancy spa weekend, minus the fluffy robe and cucumber eye patches.
Some studies suggest that detox diets, including juice cleanses, can help your body’s natural detoxification processes. Your liver and kidneys are already working hard to filter out toxins and juices to give them extra support.
The Risks of Juice Cleanses
Right then, let's talk about the bits of juice cleansing that Instagram conveniently forgets to mention.
Here's the thing: strip away all the fibre from fruits and veg, and you're basically mainlining sugar. One minute you're bouncing off the walls, the next you're wondering if your desk would make a comfortable pillow. Not exactly the "glow-up" you were hoping for, eh?
Those trendy detox products with their special "cleansing" ingredients? Those are laxatives. They'll have you more intimately acquainted with your bathroom than you ever wished to be. And those fancy green juices packed with spinach and beetroot? Lovely in moderation, but too much and your kidneys will suffer.
Stick with it too long, and your metabolism gets properly confused, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight. Not exactly ideal when you're aiming for sustainable health, is it?
What Happens Where Juice Cleanses Are Done Right?
Juice cleanses can be safe and effective when you do them properly.
EXALT’s Life Cleanse offers cold-pressed juices and protein-packed smoothies. This isn’t your average juice cleanse. It combines cold-pressed juices with protein-packed smoothies to deliver everything your body needs to stay energised and healthy. Instead of running on empty, you stay nourished, strong, and ready to tackle the day.
Cold-pressed juices preserve essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that would otherwise get lost in traditional juicing methods. They support your immune system, fight inflammation, and provide a natural energy boost. Plus, the protein smoothies fuel your muscles, so your fitness routine doesn’t take a hit.
But Here's the Thing...
Do you actually need a juice cleanse? Well, that's rather like asking if you need that fancy coffee machine you've been eyeing, probably not, but it might make your life more interesting. The boring but true answer is that eating your vegetables like a proper grown-up, drinking water instead of wine, and not treating biscuits as a food group will probably do the trick.
