Put your juicers away folks, there's a company for that.
Pressed Juicery, based in Los Angeles, is a company specializing in juice. The company, which boasts 30 different flavors, creates healthy juices, offers juice cleanses and sends them all to your doorstep.
Carly Brien and two of her friends, Hayden Slater and Hedi Gores, began Pressed Juicery because their lives were changed by juicing and eating healthy, and juicing wasn't accessible to that many people.
"Most people in their daily diets are eating a lot of foods that aren't necessarily good for them," Brien said. "It's toxic and they kind of build up in your system over a lifetime of kind of eating foods that are heavily processed. People eat things that are harder to digest."
The cleanses offered by Pressed Juicery work to counteract the rate the digestive system has to work to break down all the foreign toxins and hormones food puts into your body.
"The cleanse is an opportunity to take a few days give your digestive system a break from all the work it does on a daily basis," Brien said. "It's pure vitamins and nutrients that go into your blood stream so your body doesn't have to do very much work. What normally happens is after a couple days your body actually starts detoxing some of the toxins inside. You're giving it a chance to rest."
Brien said there are many pros to allowing your digestive system the chance to take a break if you do decide to participate in a cleanse.
"The benefits of doing that are everything from people saying they lose weight, they feel mentally clearer, they have clearer skin, they just feel generally better generally all around," Brien said.
"Maybe not necessarily the first day of doing it, but it inspires a change in lifestyle because they feel so good they start eating healthier, and it's like the domino effect."
However, whether a cleanse is right for you or not, Brien said having one juice a day can still help in the process to improving your health.
"We recommend starting the day with a Greens juice because they give you a lot of energy," Brien said.
"If you want all your juices for the day to be Green juices, that's great. A lot of people prefer to have a little bit more variety so we can throw in something with beets and carrots or pineapple and coconut water, things that are refreshing."
The full menu of juices is available online and Brien said a benefit to ordering the juices from a company is a way to guarantee great flavor.
"My favorite juice in our Greens 3, which is kale, romaine, cucumber, spinach, celery, apple and ginger," Brien said. "Our juices are packed with flavor. We take our recipes really seriously. We want our juices to taste good. We want people to enjoy them."
Pressed Juicery products can be purchased off their website, pressedjuicery.com through a variety of order packages including kits and cleanses. Pressed Juicery ships nationwide.
"Make sure you can check with your doctor and make sure you're healthy and then go for it," Brien said. "It's not as hard as it seems."
