They are often offered when you go to a health resort or spa, usually for less than a week, sometimes only for the weekend. The theory behind juices is that we can ‘cleanse’ and ‘purify’ our body by removing ‘wastes’ and eliminating ‘toxins’ (which are never defined). By following a strict regime based around juices (and eliminating all caffeine, alcohol, refined carbs, meat and dairy), the toxins will magically be flushed out and glowing health and energy will be your reward. Be clear about WHY you’re doing a juice fast. It’s supposed to improve a whole range of common conditions such as indigestion, heartburn, poor immunity, fatigue, headaches, allergies, muscle aches and even acne, dry skin and puffiness under eyes. The claim that sucks most women in is the promise of weight loss, radiant skin and clear eyes. What’s missing from all these claims is proof – despite all the hype, there’s no proof that a detox diet really does clean out the body nor that the average person needs to fast at all. That said, given our overconsumption of processed foods and alcohol, a few days of little or no eating can do us all good – but it’s not a formal detox! I feel compelled to point out that these fasts are not a solution to permanent weight loss. They are only a quick fix (often promoted to “kickstart” your diet) but they don’t re-educate your eating patterns – once you finishing, you go back to your former (fattening) way of eating and the weight comes back on Report this post You must be a HealthShare member to report this post.

Learn More »Anti-Inflammatory Properties Pineapple juice contains an enzyme called bromelain, which triggers your body's ability to fight pain and reduce swelling. It's used as a treatment for inflammation and sports injuries and may be effective in reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Native to South America, pineapples are now cultivated in warm climates globally. Most of the world’s supply is grown in Thailand. Pineapple is rich in vitamins and minerals. It’s also the only major dietary source of bromelain, an enzyme that has been used for centuries to treat a range of ailments. Modern research has studied bromelain's effects and supports several of pineapple's potential health benefits. Pineapple juice packs a concentrated amount of these nutrients into a single serving. Because it’s naturally sweet, most pineapple juice contains little to no added sugar. Store-bought pineapple juice often contains added ascorbic acid, which is another name for vitamin C. Pineapples are naturally high in this immune-boosting vitamin, but the added ascorbic acid helps preserve the juice’s flavor and color. It’s also easy to make pineapple juice at home. Just be sure to use a fully ripened pineapple because it can be toxic when consumed raw. For hundreds of years, pineapples were used as a symbol to convey wealth and high status, but today they’re found at supermarkets around the world. Bottled pineapple juice is also widely sold in stores and is often available freshly juiced at restaurants and cafes.
