5 Reasons To Do A Juice Cleanse That Don’t Include Weight Loss

When you hear that someone’s starting a juice cleanse it’s likely that a few things will cross your mind. Why would they do that? Are they trying to lose weight? The juice cleanse stereotype is that it’s a quick way to shred some pounds, after all. But what you might not think about are the benefits of juice cleansing that don’t have anything to do with weight loss – and these are the benefits that make you want to stick with it… even when you’d give anything to just chew something.

I love fruits and veggies, so whether I’m crunching down on them or drinking them, I’m happy. After a few days of cleansing, however, I find it difficult to kick cravings for other foods – in particular solid foods. But there are a few almost immediate juice cleanse benefits that help motivate me to keep going. It’s amazing what a little detox can do to your entire system.

Whether you’re cleansing for a day, three days or a week these five reasons are what will help you push past the cravings and complete your juice cleanse goal.

1. Decreased Sugar Cravings

You don’t realize how dependent you are on sugar (and how much happier you’ll be without it) until you knock it out of your diet. Cutting out sugar means everything from increased clarity of the mind to a tendency to reach towards more natural non-processed foods. But watch out – if you cheat on your juice cleanse and eat something processed or sugary (they’re pretty much interchangeable) know that you’re going to have to face the consequences. Once your body is introduced to processed sugar again, you’ll be dealing with major sugar cravings for the next three days.

2. Decreased Stress Levels

If you’re on a cleanse that’s organic, nutrient dense and safe for your level of health and comfort cleansing, you’ll reap the benefits of this reason to cleanse. And if you’re doing a juice cleanse the right way, you won’t be dealing with hangry feelings. Instead, the cleanse should make you feel full of positive vibes, give you more energy and make you overall happier.

3. Increased Energy

Wondering which juices will help improve your energy levels? The secret is in the chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll – aka the pigment in plants that makes them green – helps oxygenate the blood. In layman’s terms, this helps improve brain function and physical energy.

4. Improved Complexion

Doing a juice cleanse means detoxing your body from all of the things that dehydrate your skin. By treating yourself to nutrient-packed juices and lots of water, you’ll start giving off a natural post-cleanse glow in no time.

5. Reduced Physical Pain

When you cleanse, chronic symptoms are put on pause. Say bye to headaches and muscle aches as you refresh your body with nutrients and water.
