Happiness...with Juju Cleanse

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!
