How A Raw Juice Cleanse Can Improve Your Gut Health
Our digestive system is one of the most important systems in our body. It is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing the nutrients it needs to function efficiently however, due to modern and sometimes unhealthy eating habits and our lifestyle choices, gut health is often compromised. A juice cleanse is a great way to give your gut a break and help to improve its health; it is a type of detox which involves consuming only fruit & vegetable juices for a short period of time, usually 3 to 10 days, during which time our gut can take a break from digesting solid foods and focus primarily on repairing and healing itself.
Here are some ways in which a juice cleanse can improve gut health:
Provides Essential Nutrients
Fruits & vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients important for maintaining a healthy gut. During a juice cleanse, you consume a wide variety of fruits & vegetables in their raw form, providing your gut with a concentrated dose of highly effective nutrients.
Promotes Healthy Bacteria Growth
The gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play a crucial role in our overall health. Juice cleansing can help promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut by providing it with prebiotics, which are food fibers that feed the good bacteria.
Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation in the gut can lead to a host of digestive issues, including bloating, gas and constipation. The fruits & vegetables found in our raw juices actively reduce gut inflammation by providing it with anti-inflammatory compounds.
Improves Digestion
A juice cleanse can help improve digestion by giving the gut a decent break from digesting solid foods and importantly, the nutrients from the juices are easily absorbed by the gut, which allows it to focus on healing and repairing itself.
