"Hi my name is Charlotte Skiles, I am a clinical herbalist and nutrition consultant with Eat in Peace Wellness Consulting located in Austin, Texas. And today I am going to be talking to you about the miracle lemon cleanse. Now this is a cleanse that goes by many names. The original cleanse is called the master cleanse. So if you want all the details involved in the master cleanse, that is what you would want to look up and follow through with. So what this consists of is a beverage that's made up of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper diluted in water and that's the primary beverage that you drink all day long in addition to a vegetable broth which also brings in good nutrition into your diet in the form of electrolytes, vitamins and minerals and just good plant based nutrition. So the ingredients in the master cleanse are nice for the system. So the lemon juice alkalizes the body which most people tend to be a little bit too acidic, that can have a nice effect and give the body a break. The maple syrup is what's going to give you a little bit of caloric intake, a little bit of energy and the cayenne pepper is going to be great for circulation. It's going to dilate the blood vessels and keep things moving. So you combine those three things together and you get a nice health promoting beverage. Now the entire process lasts about 10 days. So I would definitely recommend living very mindfully within those 10 days and not pushing your body because you're giving your body a break and you're not giving your system a lot of resources for the way we live on a daily basis. So short term and relax when you do this and really experience the full effects of the master cleanse. So that's what I have to say about the miracle lemon cleanse."
