The 5 Apple 5 Day Challenge

Want to try a gentle and natural method to detox without buying an expensive detox kit? If you don’t want the hassle of mixing powders, taking pills and choking down disgusting chemical shakes, consider the power of the Apple. The 5 Apple 5 Day Challenge is a detox method that uses the cleansing power of only apples. Eating five pieces of fruit every day was once recommended but according to recent research, five may not be enough. Read more about it.

If you already have five fruits and vegetables every day, your results will be incredible after adding 5 more apples to you daily diet. If you don’t always make time to grab a healthy snack, this is your opportunity to treat yourself. See how good you feel after eating 5 apples every day for 5 days.

What makes an apple a deep cleanser?

The fiber in apples deeply cleans and removes decaying food that may cause constipation. Natural fruit enzymes  and water within raw apple juice flush out old fiber, food, mucus and other debris clogging pathways in your colon. Dry fibrous breads and crackers, for example, may have large amounts of fiber in them but they do not contain the necessary moisture to move it out of the colon. Processed starches dehydrate the body because they leach water from the colon to be digested. Apples are balanced to scrub and cleanse our bodies and add hydration in the process. Now ain’t that grand?

Common apple varieties

You will need at least 25 fresh raw apples for yourself. Buy more if you plan to share them. Look for different apple varieties  or buy your favorites. The choice is yours.

 

Apple challenge tips

•  Dance, sing, walk or run. Get moving. If you have a job where you are able to stand and be active, that’s a benefit. If you have a desk job or you stay in a stationary position for extended periods, try briskly walking when you get a break. Dance at work if you can. Shake ya tail feathers.
• Eat your fruit during the day time. When the sun is out that is when you should have all your fruit. Stop when the sun goes down.

• Drink as much water as you can during this challenge. Some say that drinking an ounce of water for every pound that you weigh is the best way to go. So if you weigh 400 pounds, you have quite a bit to drink as
  

  400 oz. converts to 47 cup or about 3 gallons. 

  It’s up to you. Drink what feels right. Drink water to feel good. You have the answers.
