Why do you need a good supplement during a Juice Fast?
Juice fasting is a great way to cleanse your system and is a wonderful way to
revitalize your body. Juice fasting consists of not eating solid foods for 3,
5,7,10 or even more days in a row. I like to start with the 3 day juice fast for
those of you that have never done a juice fast.
Juice fasting has been proven to cure diseases, cleanse the colon, heal sore
muscles, cure back problems, and make the human body heal itself. It was
actually prescribed before modern medicine. Why do you think we drink so many
fluids and avoid solid food when we are sick? This allows our body to use the
energies that it usually uses for digestion to concentrate on healing parts of
the body that need healing. A juice fast does the same thing.
Now it isn't as easy as going out and buying juice at the store and only
drinking it. Juices bought at your local grocery store are processed and usually
from concentrate. This means they contain a lot on toxins that will not help the
body. You will need to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to be juiced. You don't
necessarily need to own a juicer, but it is definitely a helpful tool. The first
juice fast I ever did I just used a blender because I didn't have enough extra
money to afford a juicer. It worked, but I would never give up my juicer now.
While doing a juice fast it is very important to get the nutrients you need into
your body. It is very unhealthy if you don't. You will want to get the following
things before you try a juice fast:
1. A juicer or blender
2. A good whole food vitamin supplement (I recommend The Greatest Vitamin in the
World)
3. Plenty of green vegetables
4. Plenty of fresh fruits
5. A list of juice recipes (can be found online just do a search)
6. Plenty of spring water
7. A lot of will power
These things are vital to your success. You will want to avoid the typically
multi-vitamin as your supplement because they are not made from whole foods and
most contain things that don't support the body. I recommend The Greatest
Vitamin in the World. It is a very complete whole vitamin and it isn't very
expensive for what you get.
Some of the side effects you may experience at the beginning of your juice fast
are: headaches, diarrhea, hunger pangs, slight dizziness, and fatigue. These
will pass. You should make time for an hour nap during the day and make sure to
get regular sleep at night. The first and second days are the toughest, but once
you get to the third day you will start to experience an energy boost and a
great feeling of refreshment.
If you get too hungry to where you think you might give in eat a small piece of
fruit and make sure to chew really well. This will cure your craving for food
and won't take away from your fast too much.
Make sure that when you break your fast you don't go out and just eat a huge
greasy meal. Break it slowly over two days and start working your body back into
solid foods. Continue to drink your daily juices, but add in some fruits and
vegetables along with whole wheat or spinach pasta with fresh vegetables cooked
in extra virgin olive oil. This will allow your body to adjust slowly. Make sure
to chew really well so that your digestive system can handle it.
Juice fasting is a very safe way to change your health and begin replacing bad
eating habits with good eating habits. After your fast you will begin to have
less cravings for bad foods and you will be able to eat better. This will make
you feel better each day and you will be able to move on with a healthier,
happier life.
