Dou Lar
Never put fruits in detox juices with vegetables, because fruits are digested in the small intestine and not in the stomach like vegetables. It is counter productive. It creates digestive disorders.
Fadela
Hi Dou Lar, in detox juices raw vegetables can be mixed with raw fruits. Already for the taste it is advised to use 40 % fruits and 60 % vegetables. In addition, the extractor separates the fibers from the juice, so the detox juices without the fibers are completely digestible, letting the body absorb all the nutrients of vegetables and fruits and that by putting at rest the digestive system.
Moreover it is strongly recommended to people with digestive disorders (damaged digestive system) to make detox juices (without fiber), full of nutrients and anti-oxidant to clean the body while putting the digestion at rest.
