Juice Fasting: Raw Food Health

February 25th, 2009

juice fastingThe Health Benefits Of Juicing

I started juicing raw vegetables and apples in 1996.

It is very easy to do. All you need is a good juicer.

Much of the foods people eat, such as french fries, fried chicken, microwave popcorn, doughnuts, margarine, cookies and pastries contain an artery-clogging fat called Trans fat.

This fat can lead to type two diabetes, high cholesterol and other health problems.

If you desire to live a long, healthy, vibrant life, you have to take care of your body by giving it the proper nutrition. That is why I am such a strong advocate for Juicing.

Health Benefits

The benefits of consuming these freshly made, health drinks are many. They aid in keeping organs such as heart, liver, and kidneys strong and healthy.

They also help prevent colon cancer and keep your digestive system in tiptop shape. This is because they are a great supplier of protein, vitamins and minerals.

These drinks also boost the immune system and promote good-looking healthy skin.

Another health benefit to consuming these drinks is they help you lose weight and lower cholesterol naturally.

Nutritional Health Begins On The Inside

I am a firm believer that if you work on being healthy on the inside it will show-up on the outside.

Sometimes when I run into old friends they tell me that I look very healthy. I believe the juices that I drink has a lot to do with this.

I know a woman who smoked for many years. When she finally quit smoking I noticed in a short period of time, the skin on her face look healthier.

There was almost a glow to it. Can you visualize what would happen if more and more people would work on being healthy from the inside out? I can!

Juice Detoxification Best Way to Remove Toxins from Body

February 22nd, 2009

Juice Fasting

Fasting is one of oldest and effective ways of burning huge amounts of accumulated waste products in the body.

Previously, people used to fast by drinking water only throughout the day. Experts say that fasting on juices, both vegetable and fruit, is much gentler and beneficial in normalizing all body processes.


Juice fasting involves intake of juices diluted with water every hour or two from morning to night.

Avoid taking solid foods or other kinds of liquids, especially canned juices if you are on juice fasting.

The total juice intake in a day should be about 7-9 glasses.

Vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, iron, calcium and enzymes contained in these juices supply much needed nutrients for the body’s own healing activity and thereby speeding up the recovery process.

While on juice fast, ensure that your bowels are flushed out regularly.

Juice fasting is known to have many advantages. It is the safest method to detox one’s body by cleansing and eliminating those cells and tissues, which are dead or damaged.

It reduces the cholesterol levels; treats symptoms of allergies, acne, and headaches by flushing out toxins — making one feel good and healthy.

Juice fasting can be done with almost any fruits or vegetables that are eaten raw. Best veggies for juice fasting are tomatoes, cucumbers, celery and carrots.

A combination of apple and carrot juice or apple and tomato juice i.e. a combination of a fruit and a vegetable is a healthy and nutritious drink.

Huge varieties of fruits and vegetables can be used in combinations or separately. They give the body its daily calories and enhance health.

First, peel the off skin from vegetables and fruits. Rinse in filtered water.

After extracting the juice, dilute it with water in equal parts. Make sure that your juicer does a good job of extracting the juice.

Consume the juice immediately after extraction. Before you start your juice fasting, consult your GP in case your body does not agree with juice fasting.

Foul breath, a coated tongue, and a bad taste in the mouth are said to be the first symptoms to appear when one fasts. These symptoms can be felt till your body has cleared out all wastes.


In short, exclusive diet of juices of vegetables and fruits is an effective way to restore health from diseases, cleanse and regenerate tissues and rejuvenate the body.
