Juicy Details

For the past few years, I’ve been on a personal wellness journey. Case in point: The birthday present I’m most likely to request is a juicer, even with the potential struggles of cleaning it, the chance of produce going bad before I’ve even used it, and, of course, the obvious risk of slicing my finger off!

Lately, I’ve explored so many approaches to healthy eating, fitness, and anti-aging that I can hardly keep track, and I’m not alone. Industries have been built in the wellness space in every category. There are numerous 30-day clean-eating programs, nutritional

specialists, fitness centers, and popular exercise classes that promote healthy living. Chances are you’ve probably tried one or more of these things yourself.

But the juice cleanse is the trend that seems to be the most common. Almost always marketed as a three- or five-day cure-all, the idea of doing your body a favor simply by drinking juice is a very alluring one. To me, the way to maximize all of the benefits that juicing provides for your body (like decreasing inflammation, increasing energy and hydration) is to incorporate it into your daily routine. Cleansing is a good way to jump-start the process, but even if you have one green juice a day, you are doing something good for your body.
