The Master Cleanse is a very well known diet detox that was developed by Stanley Burroughs in the year 1941. Since then, it has gained popularity quickly, and is used as both a detox and a diet, and sometimes both at once. The ingredients for the Master Cleanse are quite simple to find, and the drink itself is easy to make.
You will need three items, which can be found in almost any grocery store. The first is Grade B, organic maple syrup. This may be the most difficult to find, but still shouldn’t be a problem. You just want to make sure you get the highest quality maple syrup that you can. The maple syrup is used so that the dieter gets enough calories in the day, as well as give a bit of a sugar boost. There are also some natural properties in the syrup that can help the body function better.
The next ingredient is lemon juice. You’re best bet is fresh lemons that you can squeeze to get the freshest juice possible. However, some versions of the diet have lemon juice from the bottle as the ingredient. This can be used, but fresh lemons are recommended much more. Lemons help give the body nutrients and minerals, and the acid in the lemons aids in the cleansing out of the bodies systems.
The final ingredient is cayenne pepper. This ingredient is used very sparingly, and can help by giving the metabolism a jump start. It also gives the drink a bit of a kick.
When you mix all three ingredients with fresh, cold water, you have an excellent detox drink that will help your system rid itself of the nasty toxins inside. All of the ingredients are there for a reason, and each has a purpose. The detox will help your colon and other organs get rid of toxins and other unhealthy substances that can make a person feel tired, sluggish and unhealthy. You will also lose weight as the body eliminates all the bad stuff. This is a great detox to try for someone of any age.
