Green Smoothie cleanse
Saturday, February 14th, 2009Genetic makeup, body type, activity level, work and family demands, and stress level are amongst the factors that affect how successful a particular cleanse will be for you at any given time. All types of cleanses have similar goals.

Improve detoxification.
Release extra weight, if necessary.
Increase your energy, as less energy is spent on digestion.
Reduce your cravings.
Get you in control of your eating habits.
Increase the nutrients that are readily available to your body.
Get you back on track with eating habits if they have gotten out of control.
