3 DAY JUICE DETOX
INTRODUCTION
Juicing has been getting a lot of media attention in the UK which
has lead to a dramatic rise in the number of juicers being sold. For
example, Lakeland, the UK kitchenware retailer, reported that
juicer sales shot up by 4,000 per cent in a week following the
screening of “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” on Channel 5 and John
Lewis reported that sales have risen by 2,600 per cent compared
with the same period last year.!
!
So, what should you do if you would like to try juicing and what
equipment will you need?
3 DAY JUICE DETOX
WHY JUICE?
We all know that vegetables and fruits are good for our health, yet UK
government figures published in 2012 suggest fewer than a third of adults and
only one in 10 children are eating the recommended “five-a-day” of fruit and
vegetables. Did you know that in Japan the recommendation is 17 portions of
vegetables and fruits per day? Based on current eating habits I think the western
world has little chance of hitting that target, but what if there was an easy way to
get to all that plant-based goodness?!
!
Freshly extracted juices are a quick and easy way to increase your intake beyond
“five-a-day” and deliver concentrated nutrients to your cells in around 15 minutes
– a tiny fraction of the time it takes our bodies to digest a typical meal. When we
eat solid foods it takes our bodies a number of hours to separate the vitamins and
minerals from the fibre and this requires a lot of effort from our digestive system.
3 DAY JUICE DETOX
W H AT A B O U T F I B R E ?
Whilst the fibre acts as a kind of broom, to sweep clean our intestines and colon, there is
no nourishment in the fibre. Fibre is important to ongoing health, but high levels of dietary
fibre are not required in every meal. Also, the juice of various fruits and vegetables
includes soluble fibre, such as pectin, which is found in a range of produce including
apples, pears, oranges and carrots.!
!
One of the father’s of modern juicing, Jay Kordich, is famous for saying it is “the juice of
the fibre that feeds you”. Put another way, it is not strictly true that we are what we eat.
We are, in fact, what our cells manage to absorb from what we eat. When we juice we
separate the nutrient rich water from the fibres of the food.!
!
The condition of our bodies is inextricably linked to how we feed them. Our bodies are
constantly changing with 98% of the atoms in the body being replaced in less than a year.
It is the nutrients we absorb from our food that are used to build and repair our bodies
with new cells.
3 DAY JUICE DETOX
BOTTLED JUICES ARE NOT THE SAME
The first thing I think it is important to know is that bottled
juices and smoothies are not the same as freshly
extracted juices that you make yourself. Almost all bottled
juices and smoothies that you can buy will have been
heated and pasteurised. In other words, they are cooked.
It is well documented that cooking fruits and vegetables
reducing their nutritional value and pasteurising juices is
no different. Pasteurisation denatures the juice, killing off
ALL its natural enzymes and massively reducing its
vitamin and mineral content. Many bottled juices will also
have preservatives, colours and artificial and refined
sugars added to them. To get the true benefits juicing can
provide you will need to either make your own juices or
purchase freshly extracted juices from a juice bar. There
are also an increasing number of companies offering fresh
or frozen, non-pasteurised, juices delivered to your door.
3 DAY JUICE DETOX
J U I C I N G AT H O M E
In order to complete the 3 Day Juice Detox
you will need both a juicer and a blender. It
is important to note that a juicer and a
blender are not the same thing. A blender
simply chews the fruits and vegetables – a
bit like letting a machine replace the
function of our teeth. A juicer, however,
separates the juice from the fibre of the
fruits and vegetables, similar to the way
our digestive systems work, providing
liquid nutrients directly to our cells.
3 DAY JUICE DETOX
WHY I USE A COLD PRESS JUICER
Cold press juicers (also called slow juicers
or masticating juicers) make a higher quality
juice and also give a higher yield. For
example, If you spend £50 a week on fresh
vegetables and fruits for juicing, using a
cold press juicer you could save between
£17.50 and £25 each week through
increased yield when compared to
traditional centrifugal models (35% to 50%
high juice quantity). This results in an
annual saving of between £910 and £1,300!!
!
This is due to cold press juicers producing a
much dryer pulp than traditional centrifugal
juicers, giving the highest possible amount
of nutrients and less waste.

HOW TO STORE JUICES
There are a few things that can cause the nutritional value of our juices to deteriorate. The main
ones being oxygen, heat and light.!
!
In order to prevent oxygen affecting our juices it is important to store them in an airtight
container and to completely fill the container so that no oxygen is left inside. If your juice doesn’t
quite fill the container then I would suggest topping up with a little filtered or mineral water.!
!
To protect juices from heat we ideally want to keep them in the fridge, but I appreciate this is not
always possible. When no fridge is available (for example when travelling) it can be a good idea
to put ice in the container with the juice. It is then important to keep the juice in the coldest
available place. When travelling I like to use insulated flasks or bottles as these will help to keep
the juices cold.!
!
Many people use glass jars to store juices. Indeed, I myself often use them for juices I am
storing in the fridge. If you are using glass jars, then it advisable to wrap them in aluminium foil
unless they are being stored in darkness. The foil blocks light from getting to the juice.
