With the temperatures beginning to soar, there is no better time to make changes to our diets in line with seasonal transitions. To ensure our bodies are supplied with necessary nutrients and easy to digest juices, Holistic nutrition and lifestyle coach Vinita Contractor has developed a three-day juice cleanse routine. A juice cleanse is a programme where one consumes only juiced vegetables and fruit for a fixed period of time. Juice cleanses have gained popularity over the last few years after being recognised as an excellent way to detoxify, reduce inflammation, rest the digestive system, and rejuvenate the immune system.

During this routine, participants will learn how to nourish their bodies with seven daily juices that will cleanse as well as provide them with essential nutrients for three days and end each day with a healthy salad. The juices provide the body with easily absorbed nutrients, increase beneficial gut bacteria, and even reduce sugar cravings resulting in improvement in general well-being. At first, relying on juices and a salad to fill one up might seem like a daunting task to most, which is where the guidance and support of an expert can aid them in sailing through. Participants will receive all required information, instructions, and a daily video through WhatsApp. From shopping lists to recipes, everything will be shared in great detail to guide them.

The cleanse involves consuming high levels of glucose, fructose and carbohydrates without fat, fiber, or protein to slow its absorption into the bloodstream.
