Alcohol is a toxin (fact!) and since the aim of our juice cleanse is to detoxify toxins and maximise absorption of plant-based vitamins and minerals, choosing to drink alcohol during your cleanse will simply minimise its wonderful benefits such as more energy, better digestive health and improved sleep.
Simply so, what can you drink while detoxing?
Here are some beverage options:
- Infused water (sometimes called "detox water")
- Plant-based "milks" such as rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk.
- Coconut water.
- Lemon water.
- Herbal teas, such as rooibos, cinnamon tea, ginger tea.
- Green tea, white tea.
- Kombucha (unsweetened)
- Drink more fluids, with eight cups of water per day recommended.
- Fast for one to three days.
- Cleanse your liver such as by consuming milk thistle.
- Exercise to get rid of toxins.
Similarly, does beer help cleanse your system?
Beer not only has no cholesterol, it can actually improve the cholesterol in your body. Beer power-flushes the system and keeps the HDL levels up. According to some studies, as little as one beer a day can boost your HDL by up to 4 per cent.
It is no secret that alcohol completely destroys the liver. Responsible for cleansing toxins from the body, the liver works overtime to process beer, liquor, and wine.
