Why Does the Lemonade Drink have Cayenne Pepper in it?
A highly recommended Detox diet drink to start off your day is a lemonade drink with cayenne
pepper in it. Drinking this first thing in the morning will jump start the detoxification process
throughout your body. Also known as “The Master Cleanser,” referring to its cleansing properties
when used during a fasting diet, this drink is very important to any body cleansing ritual. There
are many different types of Cayenne pepper and lemon drinks that include other flavors as well,
but the Cayenne pepper is a key ingredient that is always included because of its important
purpose in the Detox process.
If Cayenne pepper is a little too spicy for you to handle in the morning, you can start out with
smaller amounts. As you get used to the taste, you can keep increasing the amount you include
until you’ve reached the desired amount needed for your Detox diet. Over time you’ll find that you
don’t even notice the taste anymore.
The benefits of this lemonade and cayenne pepper mixture include important health benefits
such as maintaining good liver functioning, cleansing the body and flushing out harmful toxins in
your body. The Cayenne pepper in this Master Cleanser lemonade drink is what gives it such
powerful detoxifying qualities.
The key ingredient in Cayenne pepper is capsicum, a supplement that stimulates the secretion
of toxins in your organs. This has positive effects on your cardiovascular system and increases
your overall energy and stamina. It also has sort of a healing quality, as it can help fluids pass
quickly through the kidneys as it flushes out the system with its diuretic capabilities. It can also
help with keeping your body warm and can improve your circulation. These kinds of benefits of
drinking Cayenne pepper drinks are discussed by authors Steve Meyerowitz and Gabriel
Cousens in their helpful book entitled “Power Juices, Super Drinks.”
Another great resource that further explains the many great health benefits of Cayenne pepper is
“The Lemon Juice Diet” by Theresa Cheung and Marilyn Glenville. They point out other valuable
features of using Cayenne pepper for health reasons such as increasing body heat and
regulating blood sugar.
For reasons on why the lemonade and cayenne pepper drink is so effective to the Master
Cleanse diet, Peter Glickman explains it well in his book, “Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be
Happier in 10 Days.” He talks about the significance that Cayenne pepper has in the
detoxification process and the important role it has in breaking up mucus and fluids in the body
and dilating blood vessels, which assist the body in detoxifying at a steady pace. Your body will
detoxify more quickly as you increase your Cayenne pepper intake and you will notice results
faster as you continue to increase the amount you use in your lemonade and Cayenne pepper
drinks.
If you find that you absolutely can’t tolerate the taste of Cayenne pepper, you can get Cayenne
pepper capsules but they do not serve their purpose as well as drinking the mixture in liquid
form does. Drinking the cayenne pepper and lemon rather than taking it in a pill causes your
body to react more quickly as it works with the nerve endings in your mouth to send faster
messages throughout the body to prepare it for the incredible cleansing process it’s about to
undergo.
A lemonade drink without Cayenne pepper is just that- a lemonade drink. It doesn’t have any
helpful benefits to your health or your body, but when you add the Cayenne pepper to the mix,
suddenly the drink becomes a healing, cleansing and very powerful diet aid.
