Juice - First Find Out What are the Benefits of Fasting Juice - Before we
get into benefits of juice fasting, I wanted to mention a few words about fresh
raw green juices. Fresh raw juicing provides you with a liquid dosage of
nutrients. I love juicing a green juice (celery, cucumber, and a dark leafy
green like kale or swiss chard) first thing in the morning.
Green Juices
are very alkalizing. In general, our regular cooked diets tends to be
acidic and we consume too many acidic foods. The toxic effects of acidic foods
is what causes most of the diseases today. Excess acidity in our body damages
our organs especially the liver and the kidney. One way to incorporate a more
alkalized diet is to include fresh green juices.
Having a green juice in the morning is the best gift
you can give to your body. You will have incredible energy throughout the day.
If you are new to juicing, you may want to consume a little throughout the day
to get use to the green juice taste or add an apple or carrot to sweeten the
juice.
Juice fasting is when you don't eat solid foods for a
period of time and only consume fresh raw juices. Newcomers begin with a 3 days
but most common is a 10 day juice fast.
Juice fasting
is one of the best ways to detoxify your body, removing excess toxins and
therefore reaping great health benefits from it. Although some people do it for
fast weight loss, this is not the main reason you should juice fast.
Weight loss
comes naturally but the main reason is reap some great health benefits which
include:
- Improves
digestion as you give your body a break from gluten, dairy, animal produce,
refined sugars, caffeine, alcohol and other unhealthy foods. Easiest way to
eliminate unhealthy food habits.
- Strengthens
your immune system

your blood and lymph system
- Some people
literally feel a spiritual transformation as your body, mind, and emotions
feel relaxed and uplifted.
- The
detoxifying and cleansing happens quickly and efficiently as your body is
not using all that energy towards the digestive organs.
- Your body is
getting the necessary nutrients while you fast, in fact, juicing gives you
instant nutrients more so than eating traditional cooked foods. The nutrients
are instantly absorbed.
- Great
anti-aging mechanism. The detoxifying, cleansing effect helps eliminate toxins.
- Great for
skin, hair, and nails. Some people notice a significant difference.
- Reduces or
eliminates unhealthy food cravings
Before you consider a juice fast, start by
incorporating juicing as part of your weekly regimen. Try replacing one meal with
a juice. Get use to shopping for fresh organic vegetables and fruits and using
your Juicer. It's about leaning into the process so before you do a juice fast,
make juicing a regular part of your lifestyle first. In another article, I
cover details on getting ready for a 10 day juice fast.
