Vegetable-Fruit Juice and Water Fasting Is Heart Healthy and Helps Baby Boomers Detox Naturally
Vegetable-Fruit Juice and Water Fasting Is A Heart Healthy and Helps Baby Boomers Detox Naturally…Plus it is one of the quickest and easiest ways to detoxify your body as people have been using fasting throughout recorded history.
Often times vegetable and fruit fasting would take the form of a water fast. A water fast if performed properly has a powerful healing effect on the body but can also be quite uncomfortable at times due to the rapid release of toxins into the blood stream.
An excellent alternative to doing the water fast is to try a vegetable juice fast. When fasting on vegetable juice you still experience many of the heart healthy benefits of your traditional water fast but without the discomfort of putting your body through such a rapid detox.
Baby Boomers, if you are new to fasting…whether it is a vegetable, fruit or water fast, it’s a good idea to start out slow with maybe a one to three day fast to get your mind and body used to the experience of going without actual food.
Here are a few tips that will help to make your first vegetable or fruit juice fast, a positive, healing experience.
1. Start your fast when you have a few days off from work so that you can allow your body to rest during your first fast.
2. Try to do all your shopping for your vegetable and/or fruit juices prior to starting the fast. This you will save yourself the temptation of walking through a supermarket while on your fast.
3. You may want to add a little pure water to your vegetable and fruit juices in the beginning to dilute them a little. If your new to liquid fasting, the taste can be a bit strong until you get used to it.
4. Drink as much juice and water as you like during the fast. Vegetable juice is packed with important nutrients and has an alkalizing effect on the system which will help to flush out built up toxins in your body.
5. When you’re ready to break your fast do it slowly. For example…after a three day fast…start out with a small salad adorned with lemon juice for your fist meal and/or maybe some steamed vegetables. Then gradually reintroduce more solid food over the following day or two. It will be easier on your system.
One more thing to remember when juice fasting is to make sure to only use Organic vegetables (less chemicals and pesticides). It’s also a good idea to juice your veggies using a masticating juicer rather than a centrifugal juicer. Masticating juicers leave more of the nutrients in tacked.
But if you don’t have one…just get started using what you have…make no excuses…not to get started.
