Michele Bridger introducing raw juicing using greens and fruits that are naturally good for our body, mind, and soul. Must-know about juicing? Most juices are pasteurised or made in centrifugal blenders. Both involve heating the juice, which causes it to lose nutrients. We cold-press, strain, and keep the juices super-cold throughout the process to retain vitamins and minerals in their best form. Is it safe for first-timers? We provide one- to seven-day cleanse kits with three levels of intensity: from gentle to a full-blown toxin knockout. How does one start? Choose a cleansing date. A day before, keep intake of non-fruits and vegetables to a minimum. During your cleanse, drink two bottles as a substitute for each meal. We recommend finishing each bottle every two hours. Keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water. Skip excess activities that will take up energy. To make the most of your cleanse, go for a spa therapy or sauna as it speeds up the detoxification process. Your raw juicing experience? In 2013, I had massive migraines and vomiting spells for more than six months, and none of the doctors I saw could tell me why. My husband and I did our own research and discovered raw juicing and clean eating. My case was dietary and I have since recovered and feel so much more energetic. Instagram @theorganicjuicerymy
