weight loss, and improve your overall health. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is, your body can cleanse itself just fine without the help of juice.

Some people do longer cleanses, but most experts say that anything beyond three days is unnecessary and could be harmful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a juice cleanse, you\u2019re not supposed to eat any solid foods. This means no snacking, no chewing, and no solid meals. Some people do allow themselves to have a light soup or broth during a cleanse, but many stick to just juices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people do juice cleanses at home using a juicer, blender, or some other type of food processor. There are also pre-made juice cleanses available for purchase, though these can be expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a typical cleanse, you&#8217;ll follow a 7-day plan that looks something like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1\"><\/span><strong>Day 1<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the preparation phase.

If you&#8217;re wondering &#8220;what does a juice cleanse do to your body?&#8221; Here&#8217;s what you need to know\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight_Loss\"><\/span><strong>Weight Loss<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason people go on a juice cleanse is for weight loss. And there is some evidence to suggest that increasing your fruit and vegetable intake can be effective for this purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American diet is very high in calories, much of which comes from processed foods and added sugars (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK209844\/#__NBK209844_dtls__\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Juicing can help temporarily reduce your calorie intake while still providing some important nutrients your body needs (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-017-02200-6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are fruits and vegetables lower in calories than most processed foods, but they also contain fiber. This helps you feel full longer and can reduce your overall calorie intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/j.1467-3010.2007.00603.x\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, much of the fiber gets removed during the juicing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study looked at the effects of a 3-day juice cleanse on weight loss and found that participants lost weight throughout the cleanse (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/advances\/article\/7\/1\/48A\/4524022\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This is likely because consuming only juices for 3 days dramatically reduces your calorie intake during that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results may be temporary, and you&#8217;ll likely gain the weight back as soon as you start eating solid foods again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re interested in long-term weight loss, juicing may be a place to start. That said, it&#8217;s not a sustainable weight loss strategy on its own and should be followed by long-term healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Detoxification\"><\/span><strong>Detoxification<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular reason for juice cleansing is to detoxify the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theory is that by eliminating solid foods and consuming only liquids, you can help your body get rid of toxins and impurities (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25522674\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s no scientific evidence to support these claims, but some people do feel lighter and more energized after a juice cleanse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reality, your body has an efficient system for detoxing itself. The liver, kidneys, and lungs work together to eliminate toxins from the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, following a healthy diet is always a good idea. Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a nutritious diet and can help keep all your toxin-eliminating systems running smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Benefits_Of_A_Juice_Cleanse\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40039 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Group-1-2.png\" alt=\"benefits of a juice cleanse\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Group-1-2.png 770w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Group-1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Group-1-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reset_Eating_Habits\"><\/span><strong>Reset Eating Habits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, the American diet is very high in calories and low in nutrients.

After a few days of juicing you may find that you&#8217;re less interested in unhealthy foods and more interested in eating a nutritious diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juicing doesn&#8217;t always have this effect though. The idea that 3 days is enough to change life-long, ingrained eating habits is far-fetched. If you&#8217;re looking to make lasting changes to your diet, it&#8217;s best to do it gradually and consult a registered dietitian or nutritionist for guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_Metabolic_Markers\"><\/span><strong>Improve Metabolic Markers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic markers are blood tests that can be used to assess your risk of developing obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2780835\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several studies have shown that drinking juices may help improve metabolic markers, at least in the short term (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1422-0067\/18\/3\/555\/htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the theory: when you consume a lot of sugar and unhealthy fats, over time your body starts to become resistant to insulin.
