Beet & Citrus Juice: A Nutritious Drink Packed With Antioxidants (Not a ‘Cleanse’)

“Cleanse toxins”
“Reset your colon”
“Burn fat”
“Reverse disease”
❌ Debunking the Myths
❌ “Juicing removes toxins from the colon”
False — your liver and kidneys do this automatically
❌ “If you don’t cleanse, you’re toxic”
Dangerous myth — no proof of “stored toxins” in the colon
❌ “This juice will make you lose weight”
No — short-term changes are water/stool, not fat loss
❌ “Modern diets poison the gut”
Overstatement — poor diet harms health, but not via “toxic buildup”

🧠 What Really Supports Colon & Gut Health?
Forget cleanses.
Focus on what actually works:

✅ Eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, legumes, whole grains)
Feeds good bacteria, prevents constipation
✅ Stay hydrated
Keeps stool soft and easy to pass
✅ Exercise regularly
Stimulates bowel motility
✅ Limit processed foods and added sugars
Reduces inflammation and imbalance in gut flora
✅ Avoid unnecessary antibiotics
They disrupt healthy gut bacteria

🩺 There is no medical need for routine colon cleansing — unless prescribed for a procedure like a colonoscopy.
