What is a juice cleanse?

The juice cleanse is a health trend that claims to cleanse the body of unspecified matter known as "toxins" through the consumption of nothing but fruit and vegetable juice for a number of days. There is little evidence to suggest that these cleanses and other types of "detox diets" are beneficial from a health perspective, according to WebMD.

Famous musicians and actors seem to have popularized juice cleanses, which may contribute to their trendiness. Those who are considering a cleanse may first want to consult a doctor about whether it is a safe and reasonable choice, as some health experts suggest that cleansing could potentially be part of a cycle of disordered eating.
