  • Tuscan Sunrise Detox Juice

    Tuscan Sunrise Detox Juice

    A juice cleanse delivers an abundant amount of vitamin C to the body. This antioxidant is needed to manufacture carnitine, an amino acid that helps our cells burn fat for energy. Fat burning can be up to 30% higher during exercise if you have efficient levels of vitamin C in your body. It cannot be stored, so the daily intake of this essential vitamin is needed. It is also required in the manufacturing of collagen, a protein that supports youthful skin and the development of muscle tissue; which in turn, regulates the body’s metabolism and encourages fat burning.

    Note: It’s important to include a daily intake of raw fruits and vegetables, even after your detox has ended, due to the denaturing of vitamin C through heat exposure at temperatures above 158 degrees (70 C). Think daily intake of: juices, smoothies, fruit salads, and/or vegetable salads.

    INGREDIENTS:

    10 carrots
    1 green apple

    EMERALD CITY Detox Smoothie

    This green smoothie provides a hefty dose of chlorophyll. This plant-based molecule is a potent blood-cleanser, it can attach to toxins and remove them from the body, making this green brew a perfect addition to any detox program. The chlorophyll found in green plants also carries a significant amount of oxygen to our ‘cells’ and our healthy ‘gut bacteria’. This is vitally important since both require an oxygen-rich environment to survive. So head on over to the Emerald City and get your daily dose of chlorophyll.
