The Importance of Minerals in the Master Cleanse

All of the ingredients in the recipe for the Lemonade Diet feature high levels of minerals. Minerals are rarely discussed in normal medicinal circles, but they are key in the body’s proper functioning and the Master cleanse utilizes them. Our bodies need hundreds of different minerals, in minute quantities, but unlike the Master Cleanse, most writere have not publicized them as significant components to our health, most of us don’t have the correct amounts and types in our diets. Mineral deficiencies can result, especially in the summertime, when we lose them through sweat. Muscle soreness, white marks on your fingernails, weight loss or gain, hormone imbalances, metabolism, skin tone, immunity, and a host of other seemingly unrelated symptoms and issues can be attributed to various mineral deficiencies. The massive mineral count alone makes the Master Cleanse beneficial to nearly anyone’s health and wellness.

Maple Syrup - Ingredients - What’s in the recipe?

The next ingredient that Stanley Burroughs wrote about in The Master Cleanser’s Lemonade Diet recipe is Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is one of the few unprocessed good sugars that provide micro-nutrients as well as calories to the body. This is important as this diet nearly eliminates all calorie intake, so the maple syrup is vital for keeping your energy up. It is high in minerals including zinc and manganese. For the Master Cleanse, Burroughs recommends Grade B because it contains more minerals than the lighter grades of maple syrup.

A Plan With Staying Power

The Master Cleanse diet, which has been nicknamed the Lemonade Diet, isn’t just a flavor-of-the-month fad in dieting. In fact, the diet has been around since the 1940s when naturopath Stanley Burroughs, an early advocate of natural health and the body’s ability to heal itself, created it to aid in the healing of ulcers. Burroughs had studied toxemia in disease and enforced the idea that a cleansing or detoxifying diet is essential to recovery from any health ailment.
