How Juice Fasting Can Detoxify the Body
Many people who are looking to detoxify their body are looking towards juice fasting. A lot want to get rid of the toxins in their body so they can feel healthier. These toxins often make people feel sluggish and can affect the immune system. Any detoxifying or cleansing method such as juice fasting can help people to feel healthier and give them more energy. Juice fasting is good because it is easy to do and the fruits are readily available.
For a beginner to fruit juice fasting, it is very wise to initially start out slowly and to try it out for just one day. By juice fasting, you will be limiting your intake to juices only for a whole day. Fruit juice is high in simple sugars, so if you are a diabetic or have to monitor your sugar intake you should be careful before trying a fruit juice fast. Anyone embarking on a fasting plan should always consult with their doctor first. Also, do not fast on juice for prolonged periods of time, like more than 3 days, not unless your physician agrees that it is safe for you.
I have compiled some good recipes below which are great combinations of fruit and vegetables to get you started on your fast:
Recipe 1: This is a great drink with a combination of different vegetables. Three carrots, one celery stalk, two swiss chard leaves, a few sprigs of watercress, a celery stalk and half a beetroot. Wash, dice and juice is all that is needed. Quick and delicious.
Recipe 2: Again wash with distilled water, cut and put through the juicer three green apples, one carrot and a few fresh basil leaves. This is simple and one of my favorites.
recipe 3. To make a nice refreshing carrot juice with a little extra taste, take four carrots, a kale leaf, fresh coriander, mint, basil and a handful of dandelion leaves. Mic all together and juice.
Recipe 4:A simple peach juice by just adding two or three peaches into the machine.
There are many types of juices you can make to fast with. Some fasts recommend just fruit and others just vegetables. It does not really matter at the end of day. you will soon start discovering your own favorite combinations.
