Juicing has become a great life hack for many busy people who struggle to consume seven or 10 fruit and vegetables a day. Try eating eight whole kale leaves, one large cucumber, a bunch of parsley, a head of lettuce, a pear, a lemon, a large handful of spinach and a piece of ginger in one sitting. Whether you juice at home or grab a bottle of cold pressed juice to incorporate into your daily diet, you can now squeeze in a kilo of highly nutritional produce in one sitting and harness the associated health and wellbeing benefits.

Here are 10 reasons to undertake a juice cleanse this Veganuary:

  1. Loading up on vegetables can help you to think better. Juicing is a great way to hit the reset button and expedite the delivery of highly beneficial brain healthy foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals including B6, B3, B1, C, which can significantly impact your cognitive function. Cleansing helps to take a step back and re-evaluate aspects of life with clarity.
  2. It  can support digestive health. Juicing extracts the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, chlorophyll, enzymes and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables in a liquid form. By removing the soluble fibre, your body can absorb these nutrients almost instantly without the usual work of digestion. By removing the fibre, you are giving your overworked digestive system a break from the taxing job of extracting the essential nutrients.
  3. You can expedite the good stuff to your blood stream. When you drink a fresh juice, your body is able to assimilate the nutrients within 15 minutes, compared to a solid meal that may take over two hours to get to your cells. This gives your body an abundance of clean, green and nutrient-dense building blocks to build a healthier version of you.
  4. Consuming more vegetables is associated with a lower risk of death. Juicing provides the body with antioxidants, which helps protect against the damaging effects of free radicals and unstable oxygen molecules in our bodies which attack healthy cells and transform DNA - this process that can lead to the development of cancers.
  5. You will look and feel better. Consuming nutrient-rich vegetables in its purest form acts like a miracle cream for the skin, hair and nails. Indeed, juicing is known to improve skin tone due to the increased vitamin content.  
  6. It can reduce inflammation. Inflammation is the body’s way of reacting to a physical stress. For those that suffer from inflammation, drinking the correct juices and consuming a tonne of nutrients helps your body repair and eliminate
  7. You will feel more energised. Fresh juice supplies the body with a concentrated batch of vitamins and minerals in its natural form. With the extra nutrition, the body's performance will improve so you’ll be firing from all cylinders.
  8. It can help manage weight. Weight gain and obesity has been linked with the consumption of processed foods and synthetic ingredients such as preservatives. Eliminating these from your body with the assistance of juicing can help rebalance the body and kick start your metabolism again.
  9. Processed food and stress can affect your sleeping patterns. A cleanse helps to reset your body, giving it time to refuel, destress and relax, which will encourage your body to start maintaining a healthy sleep pattern.
  10. It can boost confidence. When you feel healthy and alert you get more out of life. Cleansing can help people to feel their best and fuel your ambition to fulfil life goals.
