Detoxing the Body by Juice Fasting

By Jay Collins

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.

The following is a list of recipes that give good combinations of fruit and vegetable to make healthy, detoxifying drinks:

Recipe 1: The is a vegetable juice combination of half a beetroot, three carrots, one celery stick and two swiss chard leaves. Add to this a few sprigs of watercress. Make sure to wash them initially, dice and then put them through the juicer.

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: This is a carrot juice with a few added extras. It consists of four carrots, a handful of dandelion leaves, one kale leaf along with fresh coriander, mint and basil. The extra herbs really set off the juice nicely.

Recipe 4:A simple peach juice by just adding two or three peaches into the machine.

You can fast with many different types of juices. Your imagination is really the limit and you will soon develop you own favorite combinations. Some recommend sticking to either fruit or vegetables but this is not crucial to start feeling the benefits of juice fasting. - 17274
