What is the Lemonade Diet?
February 23, 2010 - 11:42 am
The Lemonade Cleanse is based on a book called “The Master Cleanser” published in 1941 by Stanley Burroughs (1903-1991). In this small book Burroughs advocates a 1 to 40 day fast on a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper. Lemon juice is added to alkalize the body and balance electrolytes; maple syrup is added to maintain blood sugar levels and cayenne to dilate blood vessels to allow for easier circulation.
The Lemonade Cleanse has become especially popular in alternative health circles over the past 15 years.
