Weddings are a happy time, one that a bride will spend with her groom, her best friends, and her family. Aside from the groom, a bride will spend most of her time with her bridesmaids, who will help her to find the perfect dress, obsess over every detail, and throw her bachelorette party! Through all of that time dedicated to the bride, how is she to repay her bridesmaids for all their help? We have a solution that they not only will love, but one that will make them feel healthy… the perfect bridesmaid gift idea: juice cleanses. 

What exactly are juice cleanses? Well, other than being a perfect and healthy bridesmaid gift idea, they are an organic, raw, unprocessed version of your average juice. Vim + Vigor juices includes all-natural ingredients, with the goal of making anyone who drinks them feel amazing! With ingredients such as almonds, pineapple, cucumber, and other great fruits and vegetables, your bridesmaids will thank you for the gift of healthy AND delicious juices! 

Juices are a great alternative to the traditional bridesmaid gift idea of a ring or necklace, because this is something that might help them not only feel healthier, but be more confident up at the altar next to the bride. A detoxifying juice cleanse can help them lose that little extra weight to get down another size in a dress, or just make them feel more comfortable up in front of a group of people. 

If a bridesmaid’s unexperienced in juice cleanses, that’s perfectly okay! This awesome bridesmaid gift idea can be enjoyed one at a time, or in the form of a beginner juice cleanse. This will ease them into the idea of juicing, but still allow them to feel fresh and rejuvenated for the day of the wedding! 

Check out our different types of juices (http://vimvigorjuice.com/cold-pressed-juice)  and juice cleanses (http://vimvigorjuice.com/cleanses/beginner-juice-cleanse), for one of the most creative and unexpected bridesmaid gift idea they’ve ever received! 

Benefits of Watercress:

The women, who ranged in age from 23 to 58, began the trial by having their faces photographed using a VISIA complexion analysis system which gives a subsurface reading of an individual’s skin and focuses on wrinkles, texture (the balance between oily and dry areas) pores, UV spots, brown spots, red areas (any underlying redness, inflammation, sensitivity or thinner skin) and porphyrins (levels of bacteria on the skin).

After four weeks of eating 80g of watercress a day the volunteers had their skin reassessed by the VISIA camera, and the results were extremely positive.

The majority of women also reported increased energy levels.

During the trial the volunteers made no other changes to their usual health and beauty regime.  

They were allowed to eat their daily quota of watercress in any way they chose – in salads, sandwiches, whizzed into smoothies or wilted into pasta, however it was not allowed to be cooked.

One of the success stories of the study was Ruth McKechnie, 54, a theatre training teacher from Cambridge who saw a 39 per cent improvement in her wrinkles, 13 per cent improvement in her skin texture, 5 per cent per cent reduction in brown spots and 18 per cent improvement in her levels of bacteria.  

She said: ‘I’m absolutely thrilled with the results of the trial and astounded at how my skin has improved in almost every aspect. 

‘It feels smoother to touch, looks plumper and best of all my wrinkles have reduced! I had a particularly stressful few weeks at work and thought it would have a negative effect on my skin so to see such an improvement really is impressive.

Watercress contains nasturin, a unique type of phytochemical that is converted into PEITC in the body. PEITC has been found to inhibit the growth of a number of different kinds of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colon cancer.
