What Is a Juice Detox
A juice detox is a short-term diet where people consume only fruit and vegetable juices. It typically lasts from one day to several days. The goal is to flood the body with nutrients while removing solid foods.
Reported Benefits and Risks
People often report short-term weight loss, improved hydration, and higher vitamin intake. However, juice detoxes can lack protein and fiber, which may cause fatigue, headaches, or digestive issues. Most claims about toxin removal are not proven by clinical research.
How to Choose Juices Safely
Use fresh, washed produce and consume juice quickly to reduce bacterial growth. People with diabetes, kidney issues, or pregnancy should consult a doctor first. For more on juice safety, visit FDA Juice Safety.
