You’ve probably heard a lot about different kinds of
cleanses that you can do for your body, such as the Master Cleanse and the
liver flush. But I wasn’t ready to take
the plunge to do these drastic flushes as I wasn’t sure what the effects of these
are to my body. But as I was reading through
my blog roll, I read about some people who had gone through Juju Cleanse, or
short for just juice. This piqued my
interest as it made more sense to me to cleanse my system by drinking healthy
juices, rather than either starving myself or drinking some nasty stuff to
clean my system.
I was then forwarded to Juju Cleanse’s website here and
started doing my research on it. You can
read on all the benefits of going through a juice cleanse on their site, and
also on what to expect while on the
cleanse. After having some of my
queries answered by the very accommodating owner Kat, and since it was the New
Year, I decided that it’s a good way to start a healthier habit and committed
myself to a Level 1, 3-day Cleanse.
I get six (6) 500-ml bottles of juices delivered daily to my
house on the previous day that I will be doing the cleanse. All the instructions were also included, once
the bottles were delivered at my doorstep, and it came in a pretty chic cooler
as well. You have to keep them well
refrigerated, and drink one bottle of Juju at every 2.5 hours interval. Everything was easy to understand and all you
had to do was drink up!
Overall, I was very happy with my first cleansing
experience. Although I missed the act of
chewing itself, I was never hungry during the 3 days I was on it. And the juices were really yummy! I am used to drinking vegetable juices and I
find that the juices they provided were very refreshing and filling. I was worried at first about getting weak or dizzy because I suffer from anemia, but I didn't feel any of those at all. Kat did assure me that their juices were very rich in iron, so I guess I was still getting the recommended daily requirement of vitamins and nutrients. The only downside is you need to
be close to the bathroom at all times. I
probably got some curious glances in the office when I had to run to the toilet
so many times on my 2nd day of the cleanse, haha!
It’s been a week after my cleanse, and I do notice that my
skin is clearer and I think I’ve become more conscious of the food that I
take. It’s not because I would like to
lose some weight (but that’s always a bonus), but because I’d like to give my
body a break and make sure that I give it the care that it deserves.
So would I do it again?
Yes, yes, yes! I like the idea of
having fresh organic vegetable juices delivered daily to my doorstep. Plus, their service was great! Although I probably won't be doing it till the 2nd
half of the year na, because it’s not cheap ha.
And I can probably move up to Level 2 the next time.
Have a great day!
