Cleansing the Mind Body and Spirit

Fasting is an age old tradition of cleansing the mind, body and spirit. Historically this may have meant a water fast, but today we know much more about the complexities of nutrition and the detox process. Fasting with fruits and vegetables is therefore now recommended. The juice detox method is one of the safest and gentlest forms of fasting and is therefore recommended for beginners.
For the body: Juice fasting offers a way to periodically remove waste and toxins from the body. Digestion is eased and energy is often increased. The body may shed a few pounds and be relieved of many symptoms of pain.
For the mind: Once the body begins to operate more efficiently, the mind also benefits. Thinking may become clearer as more energy is circulating around the body and the brain. This electric and magnetic energy travels then through the nervous system to all reaches of the body and back, creating what is called body intelligence.
For the spirit: Fasting has long been associated with the spirit and is practiced in some religions. When the body is free from food the mind and spirit are no longer focused on such earthly desires and some proclaim a connection with a higher power or realize a great life change.
Whatever your desire for conducting a juice or water fast, the potential benefits are great. You can see why this natural body detox method is recommended by so many.
