Juice fasting makes every
other natural method work
faster: massage therapy
works faster for
fibromyalgia, acupuncture
works faster for pain,
energy healing is sped up,
etc. Juice fasting is a
multidimensional
experience in which total
body transformation
occurs. There are a wide
range of metabolic changes
and experiences. The blood
and lymph are detoxified.
When juice fasting,
the release of toxins from
the colon, kidneys,
bladder, lungs, sinuses,
and skin clears out
complications that have
arisen from a bad diet and
unhealthy lifestyle. The
benefits of following a
juice fast include
heightened spiritual
awareness and relaxation
of the body, mind, and
emotions. Many people feel
a sense of letting go of
pain from the past and
developing a positive
attitude towards the
present. During juice
fasting, the body is able
to clean out its system
because it is not
expending energy towards
the digestive organs.
Raw juices contain certain
natural medicines, vegetal
hormones and antibiotics.
For instance, string beans
are said to contain
insulin-like substance.
Certain hormones needed by
the pancreas to produce
insulin are present in
cucumber and onion juices.
Fresh juices of tomatoes,
garlic, onions, and radish
contain antibiotic
properties.
Juice fasting fruits and
vegetable juices may be
divided into six main
types. These are:
-
Juices from acid fruits
like orange, lemon,
grapefruit, strawberry and
pineapple.
-
Juices from vegetable
fruits, namely, tomato and
cucumber.
-
Juices from green leafy
vegetables like cabbage,
celery, lettuce, spinach,
parsley and watercress.
-
Juices from root
vegetables like beetroot,
carrot, onion, potato and
radish. Generally
speaking, fruit juices
stir up toxins and acids
in the body, thereby
stimulating the
eliminative processes.
Vegetable juices, on the
other hand, soothe the
jaded nerves and work in a
much milder manner. They
carry away toxic matter in
a gentle way. Owing to
their differing actions
fruit and vegetable juices
should not be used at the
same time or mixed
together. It is desirable
to use juices
individually. In any case
when juice fasting not
more than three juices
should be used in any one
mixture.
-
Juices from sweet fruits
such as prunes and grapes.
-
Juices from sub-acid
fruits like apple, plum,
pear, peach, apricot and
cherry.
Juice
fasting is also safer than
water fasting because it
supports the body
nutritionally while
cleansing and probably
even produces a better
detoxification and quicker
recovery time.
While juice fasting the
stomach actually shrinks
to its original size (the
size of your fist). After
three days of just
ingesting raw organic and
fresh juices, broth and
tea, you will lose all
cravings for solid food.
Your mind might tell you
otherwise, but your body
is very content. When you
just drink your food, your
stomach gets a
physiological rest,
allowing the colon to shed
old compacted and
putrefied material that
was waiting there to cause
future disease.
What exactly is juice
fasting?
A juice fast is a liquid,
nourishing diet consisting
of just juice and water.
Many natural healers have
combined periods of
fasting with certain
supplements which help to
speed up the benefits of
the fast.
The favorable effect of
raw juices in the
treatment of disease is
attributed to the
following facts:
-
The juices extracted from
raw fruits & vegetables
require no digestion &
almost all their vital
nutrients are assimilated
directly in the
bloodstream.
-
Raw juices are extremely
rich in alkaline
elements. This is highly
beneficial in normalizing
acid alkaline balance in
the blood & tissues as
their is over acidity in
most conditions of ill
health.
-
Raw juices of fruits &
vegetables are extremely
rich in vitamins &
minerals, trace elements,
enzymes & natural sugars.
They exercise beneficial
effect in normalizing all
the body functions. They
supply needed elements for
the body's own healing
activity & cell
regeneration thereby
speeding the recovery.
-
Raw juices contain certain
natural medicines, vegetal
hormones & antibiotics.
For instance, string beans
are said to contain
insulin like substance.
Certain hormones needed by
the pancreas to produce
insulin are present in
cucumber & onion juices.
Fresh juices of garlic,
onions, radish & tomatoes
contain antibiotic
substances.
-
Generous amounts of easily
assimilable organic
minerals in raw juices
especially calcium,
potassium & silicon help
in restoring biochemical &
mineral balance in the
tissues & cells, thereby
preventing premature aging
of cells & disease.
