To complete a juice cleanse, a person chooses a period of 3 to 10 days (plus) during which they consume the bulk of their calories from fresh fruit and vegetable juices. The idea of drinking all your meals for upwards of a week might make some people hesitate, but it’s important to note that a juice cleanse is not a fast. The juices consumed during this cleanse are full of nutrients and good, healthy calories, so they’ll keep you sated without feeling full or bloated. When properly executed, juice cleanses have proven to be an amazing way to improve one’s overall health and well-being, as they provide a multitude of benefits such as aiding weight loss, boosting energy and, perhaps most importantly, purging harmful toxins.

Pollutants can enter our bodies from the air we breathe and the water we drink, as well as from a lot of products we use every day and consider harmless like soaps, shampoos and detergents. We also tend to ingest a lot of the most harmful toxins from the foods we eat every day. That includes foods that are low-quality and highly processed that are becoming more prevalent in most of our diets and non organic fruit and vegetables. An organic juice cleanse is a safe and effective way to remove such toxins from the body, allowing our organs and glands to operate optimally and ensuring a healthy balance of hormones. Giving the body the natural, organic nutrients it craves allows it to heal itself and perform at its highest level—which will also help fend off even more harmful diseases and viruses.

We believe that everyone can benefit from a juice cleanse – but juice cleanses can be particularly helpful for people who are experiencing the following symptoms:

• You feel you are always under stress.
• You drink a lot of coffee or alcohol.
• Your eyes are yellowish or red.
• You tested acidic when you took a pH test.
• You feel a cold or flu coming on.
• You feel lethargic.
• You need to get rid of the drug residue after an illness.
• You need to remove toxins that are causing a health problem.
• You want help with weight loss.
• You want to clear up your skin.
• You want to slow aging and improved body flexibility.
• You want great mental clarity.
• You need to improve your circulation.

It depends on your body and needs but it is usually recommended to do a 3 day cleanse every month for optimum health and vitality.

Everybody is different: we all have different body types, different metabolisms, different states of mind. Due to these factors, everyone experiences juice cleanses differently. During the cleanse, whatever happens with your body is the way your body is trying to stabilize itself. As such, you may feel worse before you get better – and the results will show up at the end of the cleanse.
You will be able to get through the cleanse just like thousands of others have before you. During the cleanse, it is not uncommon to feel lethargic, irritable, and have a bit of a headache. All of these are very normal reactions as the toxins begin to move through your body. Remember, once you have completed the cleanse, you will enjoy the most euphoric and blissful feeling!

When on the cleanse it is better to stick to just the juices but if you are active or just really hungryand have to eat something, that is ok! The best foods to consume are raw veggies and fruits, half an avocado, a baked sweet potato or veggie broth soups.

• Yoga: Yoga helps in the detoxification process. A hot yoga class can get rid of the toxins through your skin. Stretching during yoga stimulates and cleanse the colon, liver, gall bladder, spleen and pancreas. Also, the breathings that we do during yoga help you detoxify your lungs.
• Dry brushing: Dry brushing helps the lymphatic system dump toxins, dead cells and acids. Brushing your skin using small circular strokes and work from extremities towards your heart. You can get these at a health store or at amazon.
• Steam or infrared sauna: Just 30 to 40 mins in a sauna stimulates therapeutic sweating, which allows the skin to get rid of toxins.
• Acupuncture or acupressure: If you have headaches or muscle pains during a juice cleanse, this will bring you relief.
• Breathing exercises: Proper diaphragmic breathing will not only reduce anxiety, it will also help stimulate your lymphatic system which aids in toxin removal.
• For best results: 1-4-2 ratio breaths is the best. In this, you inhale for 1, hold for 4 and exhale for 2. For example, let’s say you inhale for 5 seconds, hold it for 20 seconds and then exhale for 10 seconds.
• Rebounding: Rebounding helps the lymphatic system detox our body. The lymphatic system is a system where fluid can flow from the spaces around the cells into the blood. The lymphatic system is responsible for carrying away dead cells, toxic waste, and blood proteins away from our tissues.

• Drink water. We need to super-hydrate our body to give the tools it needs to do the cleanse. We suggest drinking half your body weight in ounces a day.
• Rest. To get the most out of the cleanse, REST! When our body has excessive energy, it then has the energy it needs to do the cleansing process.
• Avoid exercise. Other than gentle yoga, you should avoid exercising during the cleanse. Your body needs extra energy to cleanse itself.
• Electrolytes. Taking electrolytes with water is the best. If you have pink salt or Himalayan salt, put a pinch or less in your water and drink plenty of water.

Remember, as important as the cleanse itself is how you come off it and applying this into your daily lifestyle is equally as important to sustaining vibrant health.

• Breathing. Keeping doing the breaths in 1-4-2 ratios to make sure you are helping your lymph system and get rid of the carbon dioxide.
• Stay hydrated. This is something you want to do for the rest of your life. We need water for many things, and not drinking water means our bodies will be acidic.
• Exercise. Now that you have completed the cleanse, you want to hit the gym. Your metabolism might have slowed down and exercise will improve it.
• Avoid processed food. If you can, stay away from processed food. They are hard to digest and they create an acidic environment in your body. Incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
• Yoga. Yoga should be something you do forever. Not only you would it help you with continuous detoxing, it will help you with you posture, energy level, and mind-and-body connection.

1) At BYN, we are dedicated to you and your health. We use 100% organic ingredients in our cleanses. Always. This means our juice is bursting with the highest and most absorbable nutrition. We have partnered with Kabete Organic Gardens to enure the highest quality of fresh produce.

In our opinion, drinking a juice that is not organic is defeating the whole purpose. Non-organic produce has been found to have a much lower nutritional content. It is depleted of many important vitamins and minerals. The worst part: they are laced with GMOs and chemical pesticides. This will do far more harm than good! Detoxing with toxic fruits and vegetables simply does not work. Always choose 100% organic produce.

2) Our juices are not pasteurized. This means all nutrients, vitamins and enzymes are intact. The juice is live, raw and totally fresh. Pasteurizing (also known as HHP ) heats the product and kills all live enzymes. These enzymes aid with digestion and absorption. The Gerson institute, an organization where cancer is cured with raw juice, food and other non-toxic treatments, found that juice that had gone through the HHP process did not have the same healing effect compared with 100% raw organic juice. If it is HHP, it is simply not giving you the huge detoxing and healing benefits.

3) We build our recipes with pure health and healing in mind. We do not overload them with sweet, high GI fruits and sugars. You would be surprised at the sugar content in the so-called healthy drinks that can be found in the supermarkets. If you have diabetic tendencies, any inflammation in your body, or perhaps yeast overgrowth or candida symptoms, you will want to steer clear of high sugar to avoid worsening your condition.

4) We offer a juice cleanse with mainly vegetables and a minimum of carefully chosen fruits, reducing the sugar content substantially.

5) We do our best to source from local farmers and believe in supporting the community. We have partnered with Kabete Organic Gardens to ensure the highest quality, fresh and natural produce.
