Preparing For A Juice Fast:
Why Juice Fast?

People fast for different reasons. Sometimes I fast for spiritual reasonžfasting can be an oasis where I can go to, to draw spiritual refreshment, away from the demands of this materialistic world. And sometimes I juice fast simply to detox or to rid off some extra pounds.

I personally find that juice fasting is one of the best and faster way to detox and to lose weight, for two simple reasons:

It effectively removes toxins; and
It feeds the body with nutrients that repairs, rebuilds and regenerates.

By juice fasting, we allow our digestive system to take a much needed rest. At the same time, we take in fresh fruit/vegetable in the form of juices that contains the necessary nutrients to help repair the damaged cells, heal and nourish.

The anti-oxidants from the juices neutralize free radicals and oxidation that are harmful to our body. It is this oxidation that is the root cause of many degenerative diseases in our body. Juicing forces out the precious nutrients within the fruit or vegetable fibers that compensate for what our body may have been lacking through months or years of reckless eating habits.

Fruit and vegetables are loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, bioflavonoids, phytonutrients and carotenoids, which our body can easily digest and assimilate when taken in as juices.

You ask why don't we just eat the fruits whole. Well, consider a carrot. If you were to eat a carrot, your body is able to assimilate only a very small percentage of the beta-carotene. But when you drink carrot juice, your body is able to assimilate nearly 100% of the beta-carotene! This amount of beta-carotene can do much wonders for the repair and healing of your damaged cells, thus speeding up healing.

During a juice fast, the body is stimulated to greater metabolic and eliminative activity. After a prolonged fast, you will notice that you will lose some weight, your skin tightens or clears up, hair shines, your eyes brighten, and you will feel more energetic and sleep less.

And finally, juice fasting can also be a very humbling experience as you determine to resist temptations, building up your self-confidence as you sharpen your discipline and self-control that is required to go through a fast. Through fasting, you learn to control your body and appetite instead of having your body control your life.

Experience ... the miracle of juice fasting ....
