Spring has finally arrived and thoughts of summer, bikinis and getting in shape are slowly creeping in. So why not give your body a spring clean as well as your home with Radiance Cleanse.
Radiance was founded in 2009 by two best friends, Christina Agnew and Clare Neill. As big believers in the benefits of juice cleansing, Clare and Christina set out to launch the UK’s first high quality, nutritional and organic juice cleanse programme.
Radiance, unlike many juice diets is filling, nutritious and is the perfect way to get your body back on track. We all live stressful, fast -paced lives and rarely take time out to treat and replenish our bodies. Radiance cleanses, detoxifies and helps you get back on a healthy track.
Why Juice Cleanse?
The idea behind a juice cleanse is to give your body and mind a break and allow your body to heal itself. It gives your digestive system a rest from a constant intake of food, especially if you eat a lot of heavier foods such as meat and dairy. At the same time, it ensures that you are still nourished with juices made from fresh organic fruit and vegetables.
A nutritional juice cleanse is not a diet but rather is a form of liquid nourishment. Most importantly Radiance’s juice cleanses provide sufficient fuel and support for your body so you can carry on with your day to day life.
So how does it work?
The cleanse is split up into three easy to follow stages:
Pre-Cleanse:
- choose your preferred type of cleanse
- decide whether you want to add a supplement support package to boost your cleanse or target a specific area of your health
- choose your start day from the available dates
- decide how long you wish to cleanse for
- schedule any complementary therapy treatments that you wish to do alongside your cleanse
- at least three days before your start date, begin following the recommended pre cleanse diet.
The Cleanse:
- wait for your cool bag of juices to arrive at your door
- read the easy instructions that come with your cool bag
- swap your regular diet for five nutritious, organic juices of 500ml each
- follow our guidelines regarding exercise, snacks, complementary therapies etc.
- slow your life right down and give your body the chance to heal itself as Nature intended.
Post Cleanse:
- transition out of your juice cleanse by following our recommended post cleanse diet
- take your time returning to a full solid diet and your normal exercise regime
- contact us if you have any questions or feedback
- schedule your next cleanse while you’re feeling great!
The cleanse shouldn’t be seen as a chore but an opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy the experience.
StyleNest tried out the 3 day cleanser. Whilst it was tough at times Radiance were on hand to support and keep you on track. THe juices really did taste great, fresh and flavoursome. We would point out that you really have to begin your cleanse with a free diary as you will have to focus on it for the 3 days with no cheating to get the most out of it.
