"So it's time to get healthy, let's do a twenty four hour cleanse. Hi my name is Mark Brinson doctor of oriental medicine physical medicine and human performance specialist. When you are setting out to do a cleanse, many of the cleanses have a seven days attached to them or possibly ten, sometimes even longer, a thirty day or a ninety day cleanse. But you can get a little bit accomplished in twenty four hours if you like. One of the biggest things that stresses your symptoms or your system is food. So in addition to cutting out any smoking or alcohol that you may be taking into your system. For twenty four hours one of the best things that you can do is limit the amount of food that you actually eat or cut it out all together. Just water so a twenty four hour cleansing with nothing but water to eat is one of the easiest that you can do. You can also do several types of juice cleanses for twenty four to forty eight hours. So drinking extra water and also whenever you are hungry or at meal times drink one particular juice. Now what's important about that is that you don't switch juices up. Different juices have different properties within the body and if you start to mix them it does something biochemically and PH wise to you that isn't going to be good. Some of the best cleanses grape fruit juice is a good one, also grape juice, that's purple grape, and apple juice. Those all have excellent cleansing qualities. You want to make sure though that when you get these juices that they don't have sugar added. So check the labels carefully and make sure that you also don't eat as I mentioned so. My name is Mark Brinson doctor of Oriental medicine, physical medicine and human performance specialist hoping that you have a very happy, healthy and balanced day."
