In her latest vlog, Mika said that she experienced nausea on her 7th day, which prompted her to stop the challenge.

According to medicalnewstoday, juice cleanse is a "type of diet that involves consuming only juices from vegetables and fruits."

"Sadly, my juice cleanse ended," Mika said.

"Day 6 ng umaga, nasimula akong mahilo, buong umaga 'yan hanggang early afternoon."

Mika added that she took the rest of the day and she felt "okay" until she experienced nausea and diarrhea in Day 7.

"Day 7, nahilo na naman ako ng umaga. Hindi naman masakit yung ulo as in nahihilo lang, parang umiikot ganyan," she revealed.

"Akala ko parang day 6 lang na tolerable, so naligo ako kasi magde-date kami ng isa sa mga bestfriends ko.

"Pagkatapos na pagkatapos kong maligo, muntik na akong madulas kasi akala ko mahihimatay ako."

After that incident, Mika shared that her father asked her to stop the challenge.

"Sabi ng daddy ko, 'Tama na 'yan. 'Wag mo ng gawin yan. Kumain ka na.'

"Nalungkot ako," pag-amin ni Mika.

"Ayaw kong mag-give up kasi alam kong kaya kong tapusin 'tong challenge na 'to.

"Alam ko na kaya ko siyang gawin for 10 days kasi hindi naman yung disiplina, e, nandoon yung disiplina ko.

"For 7 days, hindi ako nag-cheat, kahit isang maliit na spoon ng sabaw. Hindi talaga ako nandaya."

Despite these experiences, Mika, although she lost 6 pounds in Day 3, advised people to do juice cleanse but for a shorter period of time.

"Siguro talaga, dapat pang short term lang siya kasi 'pag masyadong tumatagal, hindi na rin siya tama talaga para sa mga katawan namin," she advised.
