Juice Fasting

Experience the miracle of juice fasting,
at the same time detoxifying your body
from many ailments.

What is juice fasting?

Juice fasting is a method of detoxification ("detox" for short). A person going through a juice fast consumes only fluids like fresh fruit and vegetable juices, vegetable soups and pure drinking water.

Whereas, a person doing a detox program drinks juices as well as eat organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, oats, nuts, etc, cutting out meat, processed and chemically-laced foods from their dietary.

How to juice fast safely and successfully?

You will naturally have many more questions about doing a safe juice fast. I'm breaking them down to more digestible portions as below. If you are seriously considering a juice fast, please thoroughly read up all you can about it. Come with me as I share with you from my personal experience.

Before we go further, there are two very important factors we need to consider:

1. The current state of your health

You MUST NOT try juice fasting if your current state of health falls under any of these categories mentioned below:

You're pregnant or nursing.
You have low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) or are diabetic. You have any kind of eating disorders, kidney or liver disease, you're anemic, have low blood pressure, a terminal disease, epilepsy or any other chronic conditions.
You will be or have just undergone a surgery.
You are undergoing prescription medication. Please consult with a health professional who is skilled in nutrition or detoxification. You MUST NOT discontinue or reduce your medication on your own accord.

Juice fasting is for a generally healthy person who does not have any serious health conditions. However, you will still need to take proper precautions when juice fasting. Understand all the implications and know what to expect in order to benefit most from a juice fast.

2. Is your juicer safe to use for juice fasting?

Important: All that I have to say here about safe juice fasting is also about using a safe juice extractor. I often discourage use of a centrifugal juicer for juice fasting as it may do more harm to you than good. Please read about whether your juicer is safe (will open a new window).
If you can, invest in a good gear juicer (like the Alpha Juicer or the Green Power Kempo) that will last you a lifetime in providing you fresh juices in the best form. If you can't get hold of a gear juicer and must use a centrifugal juicer, then try not to juice fruits/vegetables that are rich in iron (like apples) to avoid consuming rusts. Also, a word of caution, by using a centrifugal juicer, the result of your juice fast may not be as effective as if you would use a gear juicer.
