The Perfect Master Cleanse Recipe
The Master Cleanse recipe:
Recommended intake is 6-12 glasses a day for the minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 30 days.
In a large glass of water (approx 8fl oz)
Add the following:
- The juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
On any cleanse or detox programme you are always recommended to drink a large amount of fluid and filtered water is the best. This cleanse recipe encourages that high level of fluid intake along with the juice of lemon which helps to gently remove nasty toxins in the body that have built up over time.
The Effect of Lemons
The juice of lemon in the Master Cleanse recipe helps to restore the acid and alkali balance in the body. It also provides a rich source of vitamins (including vitamin C) and minerals essential for the body to function properly. Lemons are also rich in natural sugars, which help to feed the body and keep up your energy levels.
Why Use Maple Syrup?
Maple syrup is one of the few good sugars as it's unprocessed and in its natural state. This helps give the body essential calories. During the Master Cleanse, you are not meant to eat any other food and if you feel tired and unable to function properly it is recommended that you add extra maple syrup to the Master Cleanse recipe. This will give your body the extra calories it needs.
Cayenne pepper helps with the cleansing process and also provides extra heat to the body.
The Master Cleanse is a gentle but highly effective way to cleanse the body. Some people report high levels of energy and productivity during the cleansing process. The only thing to make sure of before starting is that you have a ready available source of the ingredients. This is a very affordable recipe to follow as the main ingredient of lemons is not that expensive in comparison to some commercial cleansing and detox products.
