Some Myths on Cold Pressed Juice Cleanses Explained

The pursuit of a healthy life is every person’s right. A healthy lifestyle requires a complete look at the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of oneself before deciding on a proper diet and exercise regimen. Cold pressed juice cleanses are one of the newest health aids in Australia, but there are many myths built up around the practice. We take you through common myths on cold pressed juice cleanses and the facts as they stand:

Cold Pressed Juice is no different from Home Made Juice

Cold pressed juice is made by passing fresh and natural ingredients through a hydraulic press under high pressure. Cold pressed juice is high in nutrients and can be stored for days without any change in the taste even though preservatives and taste additives are avoided.  Compared to domestic methods like using a chopper and juicer, the process reduces waste and gets more for the buck. The ingredients that go into your cold pressed juice are carefully chosen by trained experts so that the combination gives you the right mix of health and goodness.

Juice Cleanses can leave you Fatigued

The key to a successful juice cleanse is not in taking the cleanse itself. Dieters should follow a pre-cleanse and post-cleanse regimen to allow their body to transform and react normally to the change in diet involved in a cold pressed juice cleanse. Prepare yourself for your cleanse by avoiding starchy food like white rice, processed food like pasta and red meat in the three days leading to your cleanse. Crunch green leafy salads and switch to fish and fresh vegetable soups. During the cleanse, take care to drink your juice in intervals of two to three hours so that your body does not succumb to hunger pangs. Reduce strenuous physical activity and plan your schedule to avoid emotionally taxing situations and work pressure. Once the cleanse is complete, incorporate healthy alternative food like brown rice, legumes and fish in your diet. Complement it with light exercise and meditation.

Juice Cleansing only aids Physical Wellness

Follow these tips and see your juice cleanse transform your emotional core drastically. If you are starting off on your first juice cleanse, it would be great to do it on a holiday break where you are in a happy place emotionally without work demands nagging at you. Combine meditation with a light exercise routine to keep your physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing in sync. Your calm and relaxed activity during your cleanse allows your emotional core to settle and relax from the vagaries of normal life.

If your Juice is Tasty, you’re Doing it Wrong

 Juice cleanses are supposed to be really bad tasting, right? Well, it’s a fact that the body responds both to pleasure and deprivation in equal measures. Nutrionists welcome the presence of natural sugars in the diet. Your cold pressed juice experts use sweet and nutty additions like apple, Acai, almond and beet to change the taste of your prescribed juices while still retaining the health value. Tangy and zesty citrus fruits add zing to the preparations as well. So have no fear about mixing up the flavors you experience to make your cold pressed juice cleanse a thumping success.
