As well as detoxifying the whole body, juice cleansing gives the liver a chance to reduce its workload. The liver is a primary organ for carrying out the process of detoxification. Giving it a rest now and again will only help it to help you keep a clean body. It’s important the juice you use is fresh and not pasteurised. Pasteurising is done using extreme heat which destroys the vital nutrients. Side Effects

A common worry with people wanting to become vegan or vegetarian is that they won’t be able to get their desired amount of protein. However, did you know, protein actually doesn’t even come from animals! The animals eat the vegetation and we then eat the animals who have eaten the protein packed vegetation. Animals are merely the middle men when it comes to sources of protein. You can be just as healthy, if not more so, without eating meat! Humans can get ALL that they need nutritionally through plants, fruits and vegetables. However, some obviously carry a lot more vegan protein in them.

You can easily get the right amount of vegan protein in your diet, even if you don’t eat meat. In fact, by not having meat, the protein you are getting is much cleaner and at a higher concentration. It’s all about having a varied diet to ensure you’re getting a bit of everything in your diet. What Is Protein?

The body needs protein to repair and maintain itself. Every cell in the human body contains protein. It is a chief component of the skin, muscles, organs and glands. Protein is in all body fluids, except bile and urine. Protein is essential in the diet to help the body repair cells and make new ones. The nutrient is also important for growth and development during childhood, adolescence and pregnancy. When digested, only the amino acids remain. The human body needs a number of amino acids to break down food. Amino acids need to be eaten in large enough amounts for optimal health.

Amino acids are in animal sources such as – meat, fish and eggs, plant sources such as – soy beans, legumes, nut butters and some grains – wheat germ. We do not have to eat animal products to get all the protein our bodies require.

A nutritionally balanced diet provides the body with enough vegan protein, so healthy people rarely need protein supplements. The amount of recommended daily protein depends on your age and health. Two to three servings of protein-rich food will meet the daily needs of most adults.

The Functions Of Protein include Enzymatic catalysts, transports and stores molecules, is needed for mechanical support (skin and bone contain collagen, which is a fibrous protein) mediate cell responses and antibody proteins are essential for immune protection. The amount of protein required for effective function will vary significantly from person to person.

It’s very difficult to get it right with a simple calculation, and it takes some trial and error and fine-tuning to find what works best for an individual.

Sources of Protein:

● Tofu

● Lentils

● Soya ● Beans & Chickpeas ● Nutritional Yeast

● Hemp Seeds ● Spirulina ● Quinoa

● Oats

● Chia Seeds

● Wild Rice

● Nuts & Nut Butters

● Fruits – bananas, mulberries, blackberries and nectarines
