Juice fasting can help you reach
a new level of health. While fasting on water alone can be extremely effective in some health challenges, a juice fast is often more appropriate under many circumstances. Water only fasting can be very harmful to the
body if the body is already in a degenerated, weakened, or wasting state. Juice fasting allows the body to go into cleaning mode while keeping energy up and supplying a huge quantity of easily absorbable nutrients.
Many people think they will have low energy during a juice fast but the opposite is usually the case. When the body is relieved of the task of digesting solid food and given easily absorbable juices instead, an increase
in mental and physical energy results. The feeling one gets during a juice fast is exhilerating. People can work during a juice fast since it supplies all the calories to keep one's energy up. In fact most people become
more productive during a juice fast.
Many people also worry that they will feel hungry during a juice fast. Any feelings of hunger completely disappear after 2-4 days. Also it is recommended that enough juice is used
to supply all the calories needed throughout the day. Some people drink up to a gallon per day of juice, although its not necessary to drink that much. Freshly made unpasteurized juice will give the best results by far.
Carrot juice combined with cucumber and/or celery juice is good to make up the bulk of the juice. Including some juice of dark leafy greens such as parsley and spinach supplies the body with large quantities of
minerals and amino acids which help leave the body feeling satiated. Apples and beets can be added too. Besides supplying vitamins and minerals, the cucumber and celery juice helps dilute the juice so its not too sweet.
Water is sometimes added to dilute it further if its too strong tasting. Pure carrot or fruit juice undiluted is not recommended because it is too sweet.
Since there is not enough bulk being eaten during a juice fast
to cause efficient elimination of waste in the colon, it is necessary to either do colonics, or take a combination of senna (a laxative herb) and psyllium powder 2-3 times per day. Both are available at health
food stores. Psyllium is an indigestible fiber bulking agent that helps sweep the intestines clean.
An extended juice fast for 7 days or more causes the body to dispel black smelly waste build-up from the intestines.
It is amazing to see this black horrible stuff being eliminated after drinking nothing but fresh juice for days. After being eliminated, an amazing new level of physical and mental health and well-being is often
achieved.
Some temporary negative effects can occur during the first part a juice fast such as nausea, dizzines, weakness, and tiredness. This is not due to lack of food. These symptoms subside as the juice fast
progresses. These symptoms are caused by some of the toxins and impacted waste matter in the intestines and cells of the body being stirred up and recirculated in the body on their way out. These unpleaseant sensations
will go away as the juice fast progresses giving way to feelings of high energy, clarity of mind, and feelings of joy. The feeling has to be experienced to believed. Juice fasting is an amazing experience that will
boost your health to a new level.
