Wellness Wednesday May 17: Starting a Cleanse

Laura: Hi I’m Laura Cox from Acupuncture and Wellness of Wisconsin! Today on the show, we’re going to focus on Spring Cleaning and cleanses! There can be a lot of stereotypes surrounding cleanses, so I want to demystify cleanses and how they can benefit you!

[Laura presents a variety of different juices on her desk]

Laura: Some of these juices provide an extra boost of either a single or multiple vitamins and antioxidants. While a stereotype of some of these juices has included no food at all, that is actually false. You are still allowed to eat, it's just a matter of prioritizing when as you are taking in a highly concentrated amount of various vitamins at a time.

Laura: Another stereotype around cleanses is that all are exclusively juices which can be found at stores or healthy restaurants. A lot of the time, you can find these products to make your own water or juice at home like I did with this mint and lemon water. I combined those two ingredients with ginger and placed them with water in my refrigerator overnight.
