Juice fasting is increasing in popularity as many people have found it is a great way to detoxify. A lot of people are interested in removing toxins out of their body so they can lead a healthier life and feel healthier. When toxins accumulate within the body, people often report feeling sluggish and also have a less effective immune system. Juice fasting, as a method for cleansing, can assist people to get a better better health and experience more energy. It is quite easy to achieve as fruits are easily obtainable and all that is needed additionally is a juicing machine.
Starting slowly is advisable if you are just embarking on your fruit fasting quest. You have to remember that you will be limiting yourself to fruit juice for one whole day. Diabetics need to take extra precautions as fruit is high in sugar and could affect the glucose levels. It is important to consult with your physician first before embarking on a fast. Also, I would advise to keep to a fruit juice fast for no longer than three days. Again, seek medical advice first if you plan to pursue a fast for longer.
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: This is my carrot and apple juice favorite that consists of two to three green apples, one carrot and fresh basil leaves. Perform the same steps of washing, dicing and juicing as previously outlined.
Recipe 3: This is a carrot juice with a little extra. Mix together a handful of dandelion leaves. mint, basil, one kale leaf, four carrots and coriander leaves and just juice for a quick drink.
Recipe 4:A simple peach juice by just adding two or three peaches into the machine.
There are many types of juices you can make to fast with. Some fasts recommend just fruit and others just vegetables. It does not really matter at the end of day. you will soon start discovering your own favorite combinations.
