A detoxification cure frees the body from toxins that burden the organism. Symptoms of fatigue caused by toxins that have accumulated in the body over the years are improved by a detox programme. A positive side effect is the loss of a few extra pounds.

 

One of the most effective detoxification cures is the juice cure, which is carried out over three days. The juice cure allows the body to use the energy it would otherwise need to digest food to detoxify the liver, intestines and kidneys.

During the three-day juice cure, fruit juices, vegetable juices, herbal tea and water are drunk. The juices must be natural and contain no sugar or other additives. The tea is also drunk unsweetened. Solid food is avoided for the entire duration of the detox programme. Whenever you feel hungry, you should drink something. Vegetable juices should be favoured in the afternoon and evening. Freshly squeezed juices made from thoroughly washed fruit and vegetables are best, but bottled juices without additives also work well.

On the first day, the body adapts to the reorganisation of energy. Energy reserves are used up very quickly and the burning of body fat begins. As the body adapts, you may feel a little unwell towards the afternoon of the first day. This can be exacerbated by the fact that toxins are removed directly from the blood.

On the second day, the body burns stored fat reserves and releases toxins that are stuck there. Most toxins are stored in fat.

On the third day you will start to feel better, as most of the waste products have now been flushed out.

After the three-day cure, the first day on which solid food is eaten again should be started with easily digestible food so that the organism can gradually get used to it again.
