Answer-Question 1:
What is a juice cleanse / feast?
A juice cleanse, or as it is also sometimes called, a juice feast, is the process of detoxifying
the body by consuming only vegetable and fruit juices, water and herbal teas.
During this process cells and organs are able to quickly purge out toxins and waste and repair
and rejuvenate themselves with easily digestible vitamin and antioxidant rich juices.
