Juice made at home or found in cafes typically use traditional centrifugal juicers and blenders. This juice is already exposed to heat and oxidation before it enters your glass, beginning to breakdown the vital elements that you want to extract.  As a result, juice made on these machines has to be consumed immediately.  At Presscription we cold-press our juice! We use the Commercial X1 from Goodnature – the Rolls Royce of cold-pressed juicers.

Our machines are able to extract much higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals. 4000lbs of pressure extract all the nourishing elements from our produce, rupturing the cell walls and liberating an abundance of nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll.  The cold pressed method of extraction produces a much more nutritious juice that is able to stay fresh and vital for up to 3 days with proper storage.

Some equate cleansing to changing the oil in your car engine after your car has been through a number of Kilometres. Cleansing is like giving your internal “engine” a new start. Even if you pride yourself on living a healthy lifestyle it is virtually impossible to escape the toxins in our modern world. We are exposed to harmful substances all the time; they’re in our diet (pesticides, herbicides and mercury) and in the very air we breathe (disinfectants, car pollution, cigarette smoke) to name a few.

When these chemicals accumulate, they hinder your immune defences and may be linked to other health issues such as fatigue, bloating, allergies, skin breakouts and depression. In ideal conditions the body organs can remove the majority of these toxins naturally. However with today’s modern and non-ideal lifestyle, our organs of detoxification (liver, kidneys, colon) become overworked, causing the toxins to remain inside your body longer than they should do which can lead to a number of health problems.

The more prepared you are, the better your cleansing experience will be. For optimal cleanse benefits, we recommend for you to start your cleanse preparation at least 3 days prior to beginning the first day of your chosen cleanse. Here are some tips on what to avoid and what you should eat before (and after) your cleanse.

Start each day with a glass of lemon in warm water. Next try your first juice! Our 500ml juices are purposefully numbered. They are designed to cleanse/energise your body in the morning, increase metabolism and circulation during the day, followed by flushing out excess toxins and waste towards the evening. So follow the order!

While cleansing is a great way to detox and give your system a fresh start, it’s also about learning to incorporate long-term, healthy habits. Extend the benefits of your cleanse by continuing the same morning routine of lemon in warm water. This is a wonderful way to gently wake up the digestive system, and hopefully something that you may feel motivated to continue with on an on-going basis.
