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.

Juice Fasting and Weight Loss

So many people claim to experience super amounts of weight loss from juicing. While it is true that one can lose several pounds on a juice fasting diet, this is primarily and added benefit of the detox and not the goal itself. The primary goal is to relieve the colon of digestion in order to remove toxins stored in the body. One way that the toxins are released is through the urine. This will account for much of the weight loss and is the reason why you should still drink water during a juice detox. Calorie intake is also limited on this plan, so this also accounts for weight loss.

Many people gain the weight back when the fast is over. The key to maintaining a healthy weight is to continue to juice once a day and continue to eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables. The body will regulate the proper weight for your frame.

My advice: Don’t start a juice detox simply to lose weight. Add water, organic foods, and fresh juices to your existing diet, then begin with a one to two day fast. Exercise also helps the body remove toxins and boosts your energy level, so get out there and get moving!

Juice Detox Fast

Juice detox is a type of fasting that uses fresh juices as its nutritional foundation. Fruits and vegetables that are juiced in a juice machine supply concentrated forms of nutrients that are quickly and easily absorbed by the body. For this reason, a juice detox may be preferred over a water fast.

A detoxifying diet with fresh juices typically lasts between one and seven days with three to five being the norm. An amount of between 32 and 64 ounces of juice is usually recommended. Typically the juice can be made from vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, kale, celery, beets, and carrots. For sweetness a fruit such as apple is added.

There are many reasons to do a juice detox. Some people do it to remove toxins from the body. Others fast to achieve weight loss. Still others use this detox method as a start to beginning a new routine for a healthier lifestyle.
