Recently I decided to detox with a 24-hour juice cleanse. This was not supervised or suggested by a professional, just something I felt that I needed.
Lately I have been enduring a lot of pain in the ball of my left foot and haven't figured out if the pain is arthritis related or a sports injury. I am a runner and have increased my mileage during my half marathon training, so it's possible I incurred an injury during a run. One thing is for sure, I have noticed an increase in the swelling of my foot and second toe after eating. Since I haven't been able to pin point exactly which food caused my increase in pain and inflammation, I figured a juice cleanse would be just what I needed.
I found this recipe in the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Juicing
- 4 apples
- 1/2 butternut squash
- 1 carrot
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 apple wedges for garnish
