Does Cranberry Juice Clear Out Your System?

The cranberry may be small, but it's a super-fruit packing a lot of health benefits. Naturally cleanse and detox your body of toxins and bacteria by drinking more cranberry juice.

  1. Health Benefits

    • Cranberry juice cleanses the lymphatic system to help your body naturally remove toxins and bacteria and fight infections, as the lymphatic system is connected to the immune system. Cranberry juice cleanses your kidneys, which can prevent kidney stones, and can help prevent urinary tract infections by cleansing your body of bacteria, such as E. coli, that can cause infections. Cranberry juice also reduces dental plaque by cleansing the mouth of bacteria.

    Cleansing and Detoxing

    • Cleanse your system by incorporating one to two 16-ounce servings of unsweetened cranberry juice into your daily diet or with a cranberry juice detox. To detox with cranberry juice, drink three 16-ounce servings of the following cranberry mixture a day, 10 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner, for two to three weeks . Mix three oz. of pure cranberry juice with 12 oz. of water and one tsp. each of apple pectin and psyllium fiber.

    Considerations

    • Always drink unsweetened cranberry juice, whether alone or in a detox mixture. When on the detox, eat only fruits, vegetables and whole grains and avoid meat, dairy and processed foods. During the first week of detox, take two dandelion leaf capsules twice a day to cleanse your bowels and kidneys . During the second week, take two astragalus capsules twice a day instead to cleanse the lymphatic system. During the third week, stop taking the capsules, remove the psyllium fiber and pectin from the cranberry juice mixture and reintroduce lean meats and low fat dairy into your diet.
