Lemonade, water... Master Cleanse Recipe?

By Linda Riley

As you may already know, master cleanse diet requires you to drink lemonade cocktail for as long as the program lasts. Recommended amount to drink is at least 60 ounces a day and at most 120 ounces a day. Besides drinking lemonade cocktail, it is extremely important that you drink lots of water too. As master cleanse acts as a laxative to remove the waste in your body, water in your body is being removed too in the process. Thus, to prevent dehydration, it is recommended that you drink an equivalent of your weight in water. That is to say if you weight 148 pounds, you should consume 148 ounces of water.

A single glass of master cleanse requires 10 ounces of filter water, two table spoon of maple syrup, two tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. However, if you prefer to make a daily serving of 60 ounces, you will need 60 ounces of filtered water, 12 tablespoon of maple syrup, 12 tablespoon of lemon juice and teaspoon of cayenne pepper. One important point to note is that when preparing for master cleanse, freshly squeezed lemon juice must be used. Canned or processed juice are not recommended as they lost most of their nutrients.

When preparing for master cleanse lemonade, there are some important things to note. Firstly, use organic grade B maple syrup and do not use sugar filled syrup. Don't underestimate Cayenne pepper as they break down mucus and promote a better blood flow. Furthermore, Cayenne pepper is rich in vitamins B and C. If you want to add more flavor to your lemonade, use decaffeinated tea as caffeine ones tend to constrict blood vessels. During the master cleanse, we actually wishes to promote a good flow of the blood so that the waste and toxin can be easily removed from the body.

You can also use Hoodia to help you to control your hunger pangs but remember to follow the recommended dosage when you are mixing the hoodia with your lemonade. You can also add a natural laxative to the master cleanse if you are bored drinking lemonade all day long. Besides helping you to control your hunger pangs too, like the psyllium husk, it will also assist in removing hardened feces from the body.

As mentioned earlier, natural laxative can be used as an alternative for lemonade. Some of these natural laxative are herbal laxative tea, psyllium husk and sea salts. There are some of the best natural laxatives around to flushed out the toxins without the use of enemas. Use the above mentioned laxative twice daily and combining it with the master cleanse, you will get the maximum effectiveness. Just be sure to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.
