This Too Shall Pass When you share the news of your fourteen day raw cleanse with others you might be surprised by how many people assume you are going to be burping and farting your way to good health. While gas can be an issue for some, this side effect can be reduced by easing into the consumption of greens each day with your green juice. The Vita-Mix helps breakdown the cellulose, the cell walls of the plants, to aid in absorption of nutrients. Another gas-causing situation is trapping quickly digested foods, like fruits, in the bowls between nuts or starchy vegetables which are digested more slowly.

You can avoid this scenario by eating fruits separately, on their own, between meals or as a meal. Feel it out and listen to your body.
