Juice Fasting Is Not For Everyone

By Tracy Kerr-Walshe

The juice of fruits and vegetables is filled with healing, cleansing properties which allow the body to gently and safely detoxify. Thats why juice fasting has become so popular with people wanting to body cleanse.

While the benefits are abundant, juicing can be dangerous if its not done correctly. In this article, well show you how a juice fast can be done safely so that you can reap the benefits of a healthy body.

Juice Fasting Cleanses The Body

Cells are like tiny sponges that absorb the elements you breathe, eat, drink and apply to skin. Synthetic chemicals and processed foods inhibit the bodys natural ability to expel toxins. Juice fasting cleanses the body, while supplying a dramatic increase in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes.

These elements attach to anything harmful in the body and flushes it out. A juice fast is believed to cleanse both the body and mind by encouraging the function of the bodys natural regenerative abilities.

In fact, some people believe that a juice diet can cure serious diseases such as cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, alcoholism and smoking.

A longer juice fast will enable the body to cleanse toxins that have been accumulating in your cellular tissues from birth. The length of the fast can range anywhere from three to forty days and the amount of juice you drink will determine the intensity of cleansing.

Increasing The Detox Body Cleansing

Drinking small amounts of juice supplies fewer calories, thereby increasing the detox body cleansing. Juice fasting can include fresh juice, herbal or detox teas sweetened with honey, vegetable broth, wheat grass juice, and supplements helpful to your specific condition. You may consider modifying the fast by including slices of avocado or banana to slow down the cleansing process.

A modified juice diet is good for those with health restrictions such as diabetes or hypoglycemia. Bananas and avocados are slow to digest and will maintain a stable blood sugar level.

Seek Medical Advice Before You Begin Juice Fasting

There are some side effects when juice fasting, so its a good idea to see a doctor before you begin. Some people develop backaches because of increased toxins in the lower intestine. Toxins can also build up in your mouth and cause bad breath and/or cankers. Diarrhea is one of the most common complaints because fruit juices have a natural laxative effect.

Blackouts is one of the more serious side effects and standing or moving quickly from a resting position will cause the blood to flow to the legs. For a few seconds, the brain may not get enough oxygen, causing blackouts and dizziness. To stop a blackout, get down on one knee or sit down.

Accumulation Of Toxins From Processed Foods

Most of the processed foods eaten today produces a lot of toxins in our systems. If you allow those toxins to continue to accumulate in your body, you can experience low energy, suffer aches and pains and have a poor memory. Fortunately, you can reverse this physical erosion by fasting and eating healthier foods.

Juice fasting is one way to body cleanse. Fasting cleans and regulates your colon, helps with weight loss, strengthens your immune system and increases energy levels. A tasty glass of juice is all it takes to put yourself on the road to a better life.
