Detox Diets

Embarking on a detox diet or a juice diet (juice fasting) seems to be "in" today. Recently popularized by Carol Vorderman and Kim Wilde, the detox diet is praised for health benefits. This article provides information on a detox diet, a juice diet or juice fasting, using vegetable juice. I am a writer and a gardener, not a medical doctor or a nutritionist.

Let's explore the basics. Vegetables are most nutritious when as near their raw state as possible. This includes raw vegetables, fresh vegetable juice, and steamed vegetables, although some nutrients are lost in steam.

For a detox diet with juice fasting, people consume fruit and vegetable juice recipes while fasting (or abstaining) from other foods for a short period of time. The bloodstream absorbs juice diets quicker than solid foods. A juice diet should never be continued for long periods of time because it does not provide all the nutrients you need.
