Well not necessarily.. It all depends upon the individual, as with everything. Digestion (and the ability to lose fat) from one person to the next can differ as much as finger prints. Here are some reasons why the &#8216;Green Juice\/Detox Cleanse&#8217; fad may not be working for you plus some alternatives. Of course if juices are working for you, then of course go for it.<\/p>\n<p>This post was inspired by the fact that a close friend of mine, who&#8217;s recently started using a nutri-bullet, can&#8217;t understand why the &#8216;healthy&#8217; juices are not agreeing with her stomach all of a sudden.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">1. Your food should be chewed. Even though you may not think of your juice as food, you still need the\u00a0enzymes in your saliva to begin digesting your juice before it hits your stomach. Digestion actually begins in your mouth with your saliva. If the digestive enzymes in your spit do not come in contact with your food, you&#8217;ll miss out on some key nutrients from what you\u2019re eating. An idea might be to \u201cChew\u201d your juice (or swish it around your mouth a little bit before you swallow allowing your jaw to move) so those enzymes in your saliva have some time to begin working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. There&#8217;s also some evidence that Kidney stones can be caused by green juice. Even apart from this fact, raw green vegetables can be extremely hard for some people to break down. More on that here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thesmarterscienceofslim.com\/oxalate\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/thesmarterscienceofslim.com\/oxalate\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So if green juices aren&#8217;t for you, you aren&#8217;t the only one. Here&#8217;s 3 Fast\u00a0and cheap ways to aid detoxification which will be easier on your gut:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Drink minimum 2 Litres of clean filtered water each day <a title=\"Can drinking tap water be making you sick or fat?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.katemartinmentor.com\/fatloss\/2012\/08\/26\/can-drinking-tap-water-be-making-you-sick-or-fat\/\" target=\"_blank\">(why should you drink filtered water?)<\/a>.\u00a0Fresh water\u00a0is imperative for good health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Make sure you get fresh air for a minimum of 15 minutes daily. This includes opening the windows in your house, even for 15 minutes in winter. Fresh air is imperative for good health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Try 1\u00a0tsp of apple cider vinegar in water first thing in the morning, or simply even lemon juice in warm water. The apple cider vinegar helps improve digestion and helps to rebuild your stomach acid, naturally improving your digestion which then of course aids weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>For a great book on green juices and healthy raw smoothies, grab a copy of\u00a0my friend Tammy&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookstore.bookpod.com.au\/p\/8919977\/raw-vitality.html\" target=\"_blank\">book here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you need fast acting help with your own weight loss or digestion, <a title=\"Contact Kate\" href=\"http:\/\/www.katemartinmentor.com\/fatloss\/contact-kate\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here for a free call from Kate.<\/a> If she can&#8217;t help you, she&#8217;ll guide you to someone who can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detoxing and Juices is all the rage at the moment it seems, and you would presume that a juice made from some of the most nutrient dense, high antioxidant plants (green vegetables) would be &#8216;good for you&#8217; right?
