Anytime that you want to revitalize your body and cleanse the toxins that have built up in your body from a poor diet and lots of stress you should stock up on grapefruit. Grapefruit is a low calorie fruit that has a lot of significant health benefits. There are three varieties of grapefruit so you can find one that will fit your individual tastes. You can also eat all three varieties during a grapefruit cleanse in order to keep yourself from getting bored.

A grapefruit cleanse can be tough, but it's a great way to flush out all the toxins from your body and start over on a new and healthy diet. After a grapefruit cleanse you will notice that your digestive problems disappear, your skin looks clearer and younger, and you will have more energy.

The Vitamin C in grapefruit will help rejuvenate your body and boost your immune system, but it will also help your body flush out toxins. The fiber in the fruit will help cleanse your colon and digestive tract, which will eliminate your digestive problems. Because the fiber in grapefruits is natural, water soluble fiber it's easy for your body to digest and it will naturally attract toxins throughout the body which will be eliminated through the natural digestion process.

To do a grapefruit cleanse you don't even need to change the way you eat or fast, although if you tend to eat a lot of processed foods you should try to stop that during the cleanse since it will only undo all the cleansing work you're trying to do. Eat a grapefruit before every meal, or in place of a meal, and drink three to five eight ounce glasses of fresh grapefruit juice per day for two weeks. That's all there is to it. Try to eat only natural foods during the cleanse if you can,including lots of citrus fruits, and if you feel like skipping a meal here or there go ahead, but it's not necessary to fast excessively.

In fact it's better not to, since your body will go into starvation mode after a couple of days of fasting which will make it harder for the cleanse to work. Make sure the grapefruit juice you drink is fresh squeezed though. Concentrated or store bought juice often has added sugar which will ruin the cleanse. Make sure the grapefruit juice you drink comes from fresh grapefruits that you have at home.
