The Not-so-Healthy Detoxes

Spring has finally sprung which means more and more students are outside enjoying the weather. Most universities around this time also have their infamous Spring Weekends, Spring Concerts, etc. and with these come an abundance of alcohol and greasy food on the go.
Currently trending are the ever popular "juice diets" and it appears almost every girl is talking about them. It seems simple, binge on alcohol and junk food for a weekend and then right after that weekend (and right before summer) cleanse your body of all the toxins? Right? Wrong. These diets claim to flush the body of toxins, curing everything from nausea and headaches to insomnia and yeast infections. However, with the recent spike in popularity, more and more health professionals are seeing an abundance of malnourished and run-down young women, a group of girls Marie Claire has deemed "juicerexics".
Ladies, I know it seems intriguing because of the speedy weight loss and the celebrity sponsors that have hopped on the band wagon, but be careful. Carefully research the diet before you begin and even consult with your doctor to decide if it's even necessary. We at G2 Organics are always up for the latest trend in weight loss and workouts however we make sure to keep it safe. An extra half hour at the gym could be much more beneficial than becoming a juicerexic!
