Understanding The Elements Of A Juice Cleanse

Juicing is a great way to get important vitamins and nutrients into your body. But what exactly makes juicing so beneficial for your body?

The answer: Micronutrients.

 FACT: Micronutrients are the worker bees of your body, each tasked with a specific job to ensure proper internal functionality.

The Power Of Micronutrients

Although microscopic in size, these tiny chemical elements can contribute to your overall body health in a big way! Most of these micronutrients aren't naturally produced by your body, so familiarizing yourself with micronutrient-rich sources and ensuring you're getting the proper amount of each is important. Your body only requires a small amount of micronutrients to benefit from their abundant health benefits.

Toxins in the Body

Toxins include free radicals produced by the body, synthetic chemicals like preservatives and pesticides, and even air pollution and heavy metals. Toxins like these can impact our health and are hard to dodge. Foods high in sugar and saturated fats contribute to the level of toxins in our bodies.
