Is Juicing the best way to detox? Not so much…

Did you know that fiber is one of the most detoxifying foods we can eat? It’s even better than juicing. You can create some delicious and nutritious juices when juicing fresh vegetables and fruits, but doing a long-term juice “detox” doesn’t really make sense.

When the fiber is removed, the juice delivers a concentrated dose of sugars without the natural fiber that helps you metabolize them. And without the fiber, some of the nutrients are lost.

Dr. Garth Davis writes “It turns out fruits and vegetables are perfectly packaged. The sugars in fruit are designed to work almost like a time-release pill, due to their relationship and binding with the fiber.”

The fiber actually works as a scrub to clean out your insides which means you cannot detox without the fiber.

So instead of juicing, whip up a smoothie with your favorite fruits and vegetables in a blender to increase your fiber (or just eat them whole). Remember, fiber is king!
