Preparing For A Juice Fast: How Do You Know If A Juice Fast Is For You?
Here's a little chart to show you the
stage you are at with your health. Most diseases start from a simple
inflammation or a discharge that you would ignore (see Stage 1 in chart
below).
Then you start feeling
fatigue, constipated, have a headache, or lower backache or even simple
skin blemishes. These are all signs of the beginning of poor
health (see Stage 2 in chart below). If at this stage, you start
to realize and take action and start eating and living healthy, there
might yet be hope that your problem may be reversed.
Your annual medical check may give you a clean bill of health. The common misconception is that if you were not sick enough to see a doctor then you were "healthy". When the doctor declares that you have high-blood pressure or cholesterol, or you have asthma or worse, serious joint pains or even tumors, you would already be at Stage 3 where you chronically encounter very poor and weak health.
