As we live in a highly toxic world, our bodies need a proper detox from time to time in order to function optimally. This is why a lot of people turn to various cleansing methods with the goal to eliminate waste from the body, cleanse the skin, rejuvenate the organs, and maintain a youthful appearance.

THE BEST WAY TO DETOX THE BODY

Though there are plenty of detox methods, cleanses with juices remain the most beneficial one. The fruits and veggies purify the body from waste and supply it with the necessary vitamins and minerals and it maintains an optimal level of energy. The antioxidants in fruits and veggies will regenerate the skin and slow down the aging process.

SOUP DETOX AND ITS BENEFITS

Soups are without doubt one of the purest meals you can ever consume because they are rich in nutrients and have detoxifying characteristics. When you eat vegetable soups, you supply the body with the needed fatty and amino acids and the spices that will ease the digestion and make your immune system stronger. As they are rich in fiber, soups will elevate your energy levels, regulate your weight, and control your blood sugar levels.

HOW TO DO THE SOUP CLEANSE

Ideally, a soup cleanse should last from one to three days. The first phase begins with one day and after a month, it should last three days. You need to eat from 5 to 6 soups on a daily basis and you need to prepare veggie soups with various different vegetables as well as healing spices.

While on a soup cleanse, it is pivotal to drink enough water and stay hydrated at all times. Water will encourage the flushing of waste. To have enough soup for the detox plan, prepare it in advance.
