On Thursday, March 13, Get Juiced in Red Hook, NY, hosts a juicing event from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and sample juices and menu items and, at 6:30, Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach Margarita Carreras will speak about the benefits of detoxing the body with juices.

All attendees will have an opportunity to sign up for a juice cleanse, and those who enroll that evening will receive one free body booster shot a day. Get Juiced offers one-, three- and five-day juice cleanses. Additionally, anyone interested in learning their body’s pH level can have it tested for a small fee.

Juice cleansers start by receiving a free consultation with Carreras, who tailors cleanses to the individual needs and preferences of those participating. Cleansers consume nothing but juice and other liquids, such as herbal teas, for the duration of the cleanse. “Afterwards, the body is a clean slate, which helps us to make more informed decisions about which foods are right for us,” says Carreras. “Cleaners also experience more energy, a kick start to the metabolism, increased immunity, and a rejuvenated cellular body.”

Get Juiced, which opened its doors in August, has been providing the community of Red Hook with such healthy options as superfood smoothies, fresh vegan soups, veggie burgers, raw goodies made in house, and a delicious variety of juices.

Get Juiced is located at 8 Market St. in Red Hook, NY. For more information call 845.835.8402.
