Why cleanse?

The purpose of a cleanse is to eliminate stored toxins in the body. Elimination occurs naturally due to the increase in metabolic activity. A cleanse by design, is not a “balanced” diet; there is far more going out than coming in. This results in the body experiencing a “high” leaving the body stronger both mentally and physically; the exact opposite of what happens after a large meal!

Raffa Yoga has designed 4 levels of Juice Cleanses so there’s something for everyone. Take from us what you need now.

The recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables is 5-8 servings. For most of us the idea that we’ll actually be able to sit down to eat 1 meal a day is a pipe dream! So how do we get these nutrients? What if there were delicious ways we could bring those fruits and vegetables with us in the car, to the office, to yoga, to soccer practice?

With juices and smoothies this is exactly what you can do.

Gone are the days of the green juices that you gulp down just to get it over with. Juices are colorful, cool glasses filled with refreshing, delicious and invigorating treats!

Not only is it convenient and delicious but when you juice fruits and vegetables you’re absorbing the maximum amount of nutrients from the foods. The process of juicing removes the pulp or fiber from the water of fruits and vegetables. The water is what contains all of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, carbohydrates, chlorophyll, protein and countless other phytonutrients that boosts your energy, metabolism and overall health. This allows your body to assimilate the nutrients in a matter of minutes rather than hours.

Smoothies are another way to consume our fruits and veggies on the go. In a smoothie the whole fruit or vegetable is blended together, leaving the pulp making the drink a meal and providing your body with the fiber that a juice doesn’t. Fiber, while it slows down absorption of nutrients, is extremely important in maintaining optimal health as it keeps our digestive tracts moving which leaves us with clear intestines and clear minds!

Balance your mind, body and soul
