What is Grape Cleansing?
Before we dive into the benefits of grapes in cleansing, it is essential to understand what cleansing means. Cleansing is the process of removing toxins and impurities from the body. The body has natural detoxification mechanisms, but sometimes, it needs help in getting rid of the toxins. This is where cleansing comes in. Cleansing involves consuming foods and drinks that help in flushing out toxins from the body.
Nutritional Value of Grapes
Grapes are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and iron. Grapes are also rich in antioxidants like resveratrol, quercetin, and catechins. These antioxidants help in fighting inflammation and protecting the body against oxidative stress.
Benefits of Grapes in Cleansing
- Rich in fiber: Grapes are rich in fiber, which is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Fiber helps in promoting bowel movements and preventing constipation. When the digestive system is working correctly, toxins are eliminated from the body regularly.
- Antioxidant-rich: As mentioned earlier, grapes are rich in antioxidants, which help in fighting inflammation and protecting the body against oxidative stress. This, in turn, helps in reducing the toxin load in the body.
- Hydrating: Grapes have a high water content, making them an excellent choice for hydration. Staying hydrated is essential for flushing out toxins from the body.
- Low in calories: Grapes are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for people looking to maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight can put a strain on the body, leading to an accumulation of toxins.
- Liver support: Grapes contain compounds that help in supporting liver function. The liver is responsible for detoxifying the body, and consuming grapes can help in promoting liver health.
How to Incorporate Grapes in Your Cleansing Diet
Incorporating grapes in your diet is easy. You can eat them as a snack or add them to your meals. Here are some ways to include grapes in your cleansing diet:
- Smoothies: Blend grapes with other fruits and vegetables to make a refreshing and nutritious smoothie.
- Salads: Add grapes to your salad for a burst of flavor and nutrition.
- Snacks: Eat grapes as a snack between meals.
- Juice: Juice grapes to make a refreshing and healthy drink.
Grape Cleanse Side Effects
While grape cleanses are generally considered safe for most people, there are some potential side effects to be aware of.
One possible side effect of a grape cleanse is digestive discomfort. Grapes are high in fiber and can cause bloating, gas, and diarrhea if consumed in large amounts. It’s important to drink plenty of water while doing a grape cleanse to help prevent these issues.
Another possible side effect is a drop in blood sugar levels. Grapes are a fruit that is high in natural sugars, so consuming large amounts of grapes can cause blood sugar levels to drop rapidly. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. People with diabetes or other blood sugar-related health conditions should consult a healthcare professional before starting a grape cleanse.
Lastly, a grape cleanse may be low in certain nutrients, such as protein and fat, which can lead to deficiencies if followed for an extended period. It’s important to only do a grape cleanse for a short period and to ensure that the diet is well-balanced with other nutrient-dense foods.
As with any dietary change, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional before starting a grape cleanse to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.
Are Grapes Good for Detox
Grapes are a nutritious fruit that contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that may help support the body’s natural detoxification processes. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the idea that grapes alone are effective for detoxing the body.
Grapes contain compounds called polyphenols, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect against certain diseases. These polyphenols may also support the liver, which is the body’s primary detoxification organ.
In addition, grapes are high in fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. This can help remove waste and toxins from the body.
However, it’s worth noting that no single food or drink can “detox” the body on its own. The body has its own natural detoxification processes that are carried out by the liver, kidneys, and other organs. A healthy, well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods, along with regular physical activity and adequate hydration, can help support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
My 28 Day Grape Cleanse Results
my 28 day grape cleanse results yes that’s right i’ve been eating nothing but grapes for 28 days it’s been an amazing clan so i’m gonna go over all my results tell you whether or not i’m sticking to my 40 day goal or whether or not i’ve broken the cleanse already you’ll find out in a couple of minutes
And i’m going to give you guys some great tips on how to fight off cravings at the end of this video because this has been the most intense cleanse i’ve ever done as far as cravings go i am also going to be giving away this book in this video so stick around give this video a big thumbs up and let’s get started right now first of all i do want to start out by saying what exactly this cleanse is in case you haven’t tuned in to my last few videos on this you can go check them out in the playlist section of my channel i did an update for you guys at day three and at day 14 as well so today is
My 28 day results and this cleanse for me is eating nothing but grapes so not only green grapes but i’ve been eating a variety of grapes i find it much easier when you’re eating a variety of color of grapes rather than just eating one color i know a lot of people like to just stick to red grapes and they find those the most beneficial but for me i personally liked a variety of grapes i didn’t do any herbs on this cleanse i was thinking maybe of doing that but that’s not how things panned out
So a lot of people do herbs as well but this is only eating grapes and you can juice them as well if you want i did try juicing them for one day i had a juice and it just felt like too much sugars with the grapes with these grapes my sugars felt fine but with the juice it just felt like too much sugar so i didn’t do any juicing in those other videos i also talked about the benefits of this cleanse and go into a lot more depth on that so definitely go check those out and i do want to say right now mentioned this in the other video
what really inspired me to do this cleanse this book is called the grape cure
Johanna bronze and she healed herself of cancer on a grape cleanse it took her about six weeks and she was fully healed so it’s a really interesting story and she talks in this book exactly how she did it and everything as well so i do want to give away this book since i’m done reading it so i really want to give it away to one of you guys because i know a lot of people are interested in this book for anybody who does want to buy it too i got it on amazon for like 10 or 12 bucks so comment down below if you want this i will pick someone at random and ship it out to you for
Free i’ll start out with the worst part which has been the cravings the cravings have been absolutely so intense more intense than any other cleanse i’ve ever done in my entire life so i was kind of surprised by that because i have done a 37 day juice cleanse before 21 day watermelon cleanse and other cleanses mini cleanses but the last couple of weeks the cravings have been so severe and so hardcore to the point where like i’m a thriving raw vegan i love my lifestyle so much and i never even think about cravings when i’m on the diet but i was have been thinking so much about all the old foods i used to eat fish and chips shepherd’s pie pizza pasta everything and just thinking screw it i will just go back to the other
Side and that is not like me at all so the cravings have been extremely difficult but i have managed to make it through the last couple weeks of intense cravings and they have definitely subsided the last few days so i do want to tell you guys right now i did not expect to do this but last night at the end of day 28 i did decide to break the cleanse i didn’t want to let you guys down and i know i told you guys i was going to go to day 40.
And that was my intention when i make something up in my mind i pretty much always stick to it but Yesterday there was just something in me no matter how many grapes i ate i could not feel full and i had a lot to accomplish yesterday i had a lot of videos i wanted to work on i had work to do and i’d take care of my kids and it just something fell off it just felt like it was time for me to stop and i knew if i continued i would just be doing it for my channel because i already said i would and i feel like that’s not the right reason to do it i have to do what’s best for me and so i decided to stop but i made it 28 days and i do want to say this has definitely been the most intense and deep cleanse i’ve ever done in my entire life which really shocked me and surprised me i go into these cleanses expecting to feel good feel mental clarity sleep well be more creative and clear minded and have a lot of energy and just feel really good but i didn’t expect this level of deep
Cleansing so i want to say the biggest thing i noticed on this class was that my my chest my lungs and my breathing and my sinuses felt so good so they feel better than they’ve ever felt in my entire life and i think maybe i needed this because i like i mentioned in my last video i grew up in the 80s the 80s and 90s were a lot of secondhand smoke for me is not good but you know how it was back then not dissing my family at all it’s just it was how it was but couldn’t have been healthy and now i just feel like the deepest cleanse in my lungs ever took place and it feels so new and fresh and i can’t even describe how good it feels it feels like i needed this and it feels like it did so much work so i’m so happy about that and was so
Surprised about that i noticed too my sense of smell on the cleanse has been like higher than my whole life even more intense than when i was pregnant and also my digestion is the next big thing my digestion has been absolutely unbelievable on this cleanse one of my friends said to me oh jill have fun scrubbing your toilets on this cleanse which is kind of gross right but i was like what is he talking about because every bowel movement i’ve had has been absolutely perfect there’s been no diarrhea or anything which i think some people expect when they’re doing a mono fruit
Cleanse with all the fruit but my bowels have been better than ever and it’s been almost like how people say it should be with an animal when they eat and they have a bowel movement shortly after it’s been like that every time i eat and it’s been so clear and my digestion just feels so happy and good i sleep so well rested when i’d wake up in the mornings it feels so good on the cleanse like next level so that really kept me going whenever i thought like oh maybe i should stop i think well you know what i feel so good i need to just enjoy this
Cleanse rather than fantasize about the Food
And fantasize about it being done just focus on the good things that are going on with the cleanse and how amazing i truly feel so again it’s definitely been the deepest cleanse i’ve ever done and i said i’ve done a juice cleanse before for 37 days i’m not knocking juicing i love it too but this cleanse just felt even deeper but i do have to say out of all the cleanses i’ve done the juice cleansing and watermelon cleansing i did feel more spiritually connected and a bit more of a clearer mind and a bit more like spiritual i like doing these cleanses because you just feel so connected and spiritual it’s hard to explain unless you’ve actually experienced them but i didn’t feel that as much on this cleanse maybe earlier on i did the first few days that being said i still have had a super clear mind and i have had a desire to meditate more on this class and the meditating has been a lot easier to get into and felt a lot deeper so in that regard it’s been great my energy has been super high other than yesterday yesterday was the first day where i felt like i just felt like i’d be more productive and more happy if i went back to food and i just felt like it’s time to quit but otherwise overall as long as i was eating enough i did feel super energized and great i do want to say a cleanse like this is obviously temporary it’s not something you’re going to do for the rest of life of your life nor do i think it’s something you should do long term uh temporary monoclines is so great for your digestion great for your body great to reset your gut
Microbiome but in general when you eat your body thrives and your gut microbiome thrives
On a diet of variety of plant-based foods the gut really thrives on a variety of different plant-based foods and fruits vegetables nuts and seeds okay so i do want to talk a little bit more about the cravings because they have been such an intense part of this cleanse so i do want to say they can mean many things in a lot of cases you know i did hear from a lot of my friends and i know this as well they were saying it just it could be parasites which a lot of people have parasites they don’t even realize i know it’s gross but i’m gonna do a parasite cleansing video and i do have a video on natural foods to kill parasites but many of us have them we don’t even realize so it could be that and it could also just be your body is wanting other things or it’s just doing a deep detox and i do feel like i said this was the deepest detox i’ve ever done in my life on this
Client and i did feel like when i broke this cleanse
I did feel like i knew that this was just a deep cleanse taking place and i kept going i would get through it and be fine but like i said i had a lot i wanted to accomplish and i just felt like time to quit but i just want to make a point to say i don’t feel like anything bad was happening to me or like i had to quit in that regard i do feel like it was a deep detox i could feel it in my body but it was still time to quit and the only other thing i wanted to bring up which was the negative on this cleanse was my skin broke out a little bit on my chest which it doesn’t usually do it used to do that before i became raw vegan so i don’t know if that was detox or maybe just an imbalance at this point i don’t know but that happened as well i do want to talk to you guys too about what exactly i broke this
Cleanse with so i will put a picture on the screen right now
Check it out this beautiful meal this raw salad with a raw almond hummus it was absolutely delicious but i bring this up also because this is not perfect this is not the ideal thing even though sometimes i know better i don’t always do better i’m not on here to claim i’m perfect i’m here to share all my experiences this was what i really wanted but this is not the ideal thing to have to end a 28 day mono cleanse when your digestion is so clear clean and not used to something heavy like that so in my opinion it’s ideal to maybe work into other fruits work into heavier fruits and then maybe have some green juices and then work your way into salads and then work your way lastly into fats so i just went right for it off the start and i had some of the because the almond hummus is fats in there there were there was avocado whole avocado
Half an Avocado so this is Not Ideal
So i’m just letting you guys know i still felt fine it came out of me it came through me today if you’re curious my digestion still works it out fine not as quick as the grapes at all and it was heavy for something to have right away but it was delicious and it was a bit of a mistake but it was so good so definitely if you’re doing a cleanse do your research and see what works best for you for breaking the cleanse because you do have to be careful not as careful on a mono fruit cleanse because i was still eating food the whole cleanse it wasn’t like i was juicing or just drinking water but you have to be very careful especially if you do a long-term like juice cleanse or water fast or something with how you break your fast so just be extra
Careful Because People have Actually died breaking their fast incorrectly Breaking
Fasts where it’s water fast or perhaps a juice pasta as well so definitely do your research and be careful that’s why i wanted to bring that up now i want to give you guys tips to fight off cravings because essentially i didn’t quit this cleanse over cravings i just was at a point where i felt like i couldn’t get full no matter how many grapes i ate and i was ready to move on but i was able to fight off a lot of cravings on this cleanse like i said they were really intense i was looking on ubereats just thinking what am i doing with my life i may as well go back to the other side even though i know better now that i’m on my now that i’m back to food when i ate the salad the cravings went away right away i just needed more nutritious variety of raw living fruits and vegetables that’s what i was ready to go back to so i do want to give you guys tips to fight off these cravings so my number one tip is to keep busy i noticed that i got the worst cravings
When i was maybe just sitting around at home
Not doing much and it was easy to feel bored that’s when you might emotionally crave foods as well or that’s when you might have emotionally run away to foods and it’s easy to just sit and your mind wander off and it could be easy to fall off the cleanse and give in to cravings so get busy my biggest tip is to focus on your passions like for me my greatest passion is working on this channel and if i would feel like bored like that and start fantasizing about food i would just go back to working on my channel and if i would be in a bad mood and i would start working on my channel it would put me in alignment with myself feeling good and then i would not even be thinking about the cravings anymore so that’s my biggest tip i think that’s a huge thing i think that’s also why so many people might overeat or indulge in things like alcoholic drugs because they’re not focused on their purpose and their passion so forcing yourself to do that just totally changes your vibe and changes your life so i can’t recommend that enough my next tip is to get outside on the cleanse if you’re just inside too much it can really mess with you so whether you’re on a cleanse or not on a client it’s great to get outside because emotion follows motion i love this line and it’s so true once you get moving you really feel better so even taking a walk just getting into nature going to the lake going
wherever you can to Connect with Nature Makes you Forget About the Cravings
And just really puts things into perspective also for me people ask me do i work out on a cleanse and i don’t work out on a cleanse i didn’t work out on this cleanse and that actually reminds me too before i forgot i wanted to talk about the weight loss very quickly because i forgot to talk about that earlier but i don’t do this cleanse for weight loss but my weight went from 128 in the beginning to now it’s 125 actually it had gone down to 121 i think and then it went back up a bit and i think even when she does these cleanses in this book with the individuals who had cancer i think they went until they stopped losing weight and started gaining weight again from what i remember and that’s what started happening with me so anyway that i’m sorry for getting off track right there i just wanted to include it because i know a lot of people do ask about the weight on this cleanser on any cleanse so i’m just including it for the people who ask okay back to the cravings back to fighting off the cravings my next tip is to get around people you love people are important too everything is not just food and the cravings we’re dealing with being around people can feed you so much too and feed your soul so definitely surround yourself with people you love and make sure even on a cleanse that you’re still being connected to people and getting around
People and Don’t Forget on a Cleanse
If you’re doing it right you still have so much energy to go and do that it’s such a myth that maybe people have to sit around in bed the whole time that’s not the case if you’re doing it right on a mono cleanse like this and eating enough you’re absolutely thriving in your day-to-day life most days getting done more than you usually get done more productive and more creative as well okay this one’s kind of connected to the last one but my next point is to fight off the cravings talk to friends a support system or even a coach if you have to i’m so lucky i have so many great supportive friends in my life and i had a few friends reach out to me and say i’m so supportive of you doing these great plans i think it’s amazing i think you’re amazing and feel free to reach out to me anytime if you want help staying on track so i think we all need friends like that who support us and love what we choose to do for ourselves and support us to that level i had one friend say call me at three o’clock in the morning if you have to so definitely get around those kinds of people if you don’t have them in your life then hire a coach
They Can Help you Stay on Track and Help You So Much and If You Have no One Feel Free to Follow Me On
Instagram dm me and i am happy to help you stay on track as well and talk to you as well my next tip for fighting off the cravings is do not sit and scroll and look at foods i did this a couple times on ubereats or on instagram and you can just get into this whole other world and really start to talk yourself into like just going back to that so stick to your goal and just try avoid that at all costs take it from me it doesn’t lead to anything it’s not good and if you feel the need to have to look at food and fantasize about food then look at good healthy food my next tip to fight off the cravings is to remember your goal and why you’re doing this have a goal or a few reasons or vision as to why you are doing the cleanse for me on the grape plants i wanted to i’ve always wanted to try a grape cleanse like this a long term one i’ve never done one
I wanted to see what type of healing it would do and really give it a chance and i just like i said i always look forward to the mental clarity and all the amazing benefits that go along with it so that was sort of where my where my vision was there what my goals were with that and yeah so basically write a vision have a goal whatever it helps keep you on track my next point to uh fight off the cravings is to definitely make sure you’re eating enough and eat more if you have to many times when we start to get cravings on a cleanse it’s because we actually just need to eat more and many times if you eat more like i would just eat more grapes until i felt like i was satisfied it would stop the cravings and you would feel full so in most cases that’s what happens just make sure you’re eating enough especially on any cleanse any juice cleanse watermelon
Cleanse grape cleanse any type of cleanse you do it’s really important in my opinion to feast make sure you’re having enough don’t deprive yourself and that’s when you absolutely thrive on it my next tip and my final tip for how to fight off cravings because like i said i do have a lot of experience with this and i’m pretty good at these cleanses so my next tip is to realize that when you’re having the cravings just realize that this cleanse is temporary so i’ll really drill it through your head and realize that all the amazing foods you want to eat are not going anywhere they’re going to be there right after the cleanse it’s temporary and usually if you stick through the cravings and get through them you will be doing some deep detox work and be feeling better than ever and it’s totally worth it
Revitalize Your Body with a Grape Cleanse: Benefits and Risks to Consider
Grape Cleanses and their Potential Benefits and Risks.
A grape cleanse is a type of dietary cleanse that typically involves consuming only grapes and water for a period of time, usually ranging from a few days to a week or more. Proponents of grape cleanses claim that they can help promote weight loss, detoxification, and improved digestion.
One of the potential benefits of a grape cleanse is that grapes are a good source of fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. In addition, grapes contain polyphenols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect against certain diseases.
However, it’s important to note that grape cleanses may also lead to some risks and side effects. Consuming large amounts of grapes can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, due to their high fiber content. In addition, grapes are high in natural sugars, which can cause blood sugar levels to drop rapidly, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.
Moreover, grape cleanses may also be low in certain nutrients, such as protein and fat, which can lead to deficiencies if followed for an extended period. It’s important to only do a grape cleanse for a short period and to ensure that the diet is well-balanced with other nutrient-dense foods.
In summary, while grape cleanses may offer some potential health benefits, there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. It’s important to speak with a healthcare professional before starting a grape cleanse or any other type of restrictive diet to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs.
