How To Raw Cleanse:

If you're interested in doing a raw cleanse, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

  • Start slowly. If you're new to eating raw plant foods, start incorporating a few meals per week. Then, work your way up to eating raw plant foods exclusively.
  • Drink plenty of water. Water is essential for helping your body flush out toxins and help manage your body's water weight.
  • Eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. These foods will provide your body with the nutrients to detoxify itself.
  • Avoid processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol. These substances can hinder your body's ability to detoxify itself.
  • Get plenty of rest. Sleep is essential for helping your body heal and repair itself.

Why Raw Plant Foods Are Crucial For Healing & Detoxifying The Body

Raw plant foods are packed with nutrients essential for healing and detoxifying the body. These nutrients include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber. Raw plant foods are also easy to digest and help you detoxify your body by flushing out toxins

Eating Raw Until Dinner Time

While some people might not like raw food, some people are seeking to make sure they are getting more raw foods in their diet. If you aren't interested in a raw food diet or juice to cleanse with, another option is raw meals until dinner time. This means that you would eat raw foods for breakfast and lunch and then have a cooked dinner. This is a great way to get more raw foods into your diet without committing to eating raw all the time.

Having A Plant-Based Diet

If you are new to raw food, start by incorporating a few raw meals into your daily diet, and maybe consider going plant-based rather than cleansing. This could offer very similar benefits but be less abrupt for you to increase your raw food intake as a beginner.

A plant-based diet is a great way to improve your overall health. Plant-based diets include many more raw ingredients than what we usually consume, which would help you transition into eating more raw fruits and vegetables more smoothly.

One Day Raw Cleanse Plan for Beginners:

  • Wake up and drink a glass of water with lemon.
  • Eat a raw breakfast like a smoothie or a fresh fruit salad.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  • Eat a raw lunch like a salad.
  • Drink unsweetened herbal tea in the evening (remember, staying hydrated is vital!)
  • Eat a raw dinner like raw veggie sushi or zucchini noodles with your favorite plant-based sauce.
  • If you crave something sweet after dinner, choosing organic fruits is a great way to curb your sweet tooth. 

Raw One-Day Juice Cleanse Plan

Vegetable juices are rich in nutrients and are a great way to detoxify your body. At Pressed, we offer variations of veggie-rich drinks, some which incorporate fruit to make it easier to drink taste-wise. You don't need tons of supplies to accomplish a juice cleanse, just pure, organic, and clean ingredients.

  • Wake up and drink a glass of water with lemon.
  • Drink freshly made raw juices made from fruits and vegetables throughout the day. This can be sweet green juices, savory red juices, or a combination. Doing a juice can be an excellent option for beginners as it is less harsh on the body than water cleanses can be.
  • Drink plenty of water in between juices. The point of a juice cleanses to rid your body of toxins that can come through the solid food you eat daily.

Cleanses like these are easy to follow and can be done in just one day. After completing this raw cleanse, you will feel more energized and healthier. We recommend doing a raw cleanse once per week or as often as possible.

Detoxifying your body is essential for maintaining your overall health and well-being. There are many ways to detoxify your body, including raw food cleanses, juicing, and drinking plenty of water. Raw plant foods are great for healing and detoxifying the body because they are packed with nutrients that help your body flush out toxins. If you're interested in incorporating raw plant foods into your diet, we recommend starting slowly and working your way up to eating raw plant foods almost exclusively during your cleanse. And make sure to drink plenty of water!
