Throughout this website we have been highlighting the benefits of water fasting and juice fasting.
In this page we are going to continue our discussion on juice fasting.
It will be followed by another page on the Miracle of Juice Fasting and a Fasting Juice Recipes page.
The fasting juice recipes page will give you tips and ideas on how to mix fruits and vegetables for optimum efficiency.
Learning how to prepare a variety of fasting juice recipes is a real motivator because you will be able to mix a variety of flavors and not get bored.
You also can visit The Lemonade Diet for a three-part discussion on that particular fasting detox method.
Juice Fasting - A Lifestyle
You don’t have to be a victim of starvation diets or potentially dangerous weight loss pills. With juice fasting and detoxification you will be able to drink fruit and vegetables to your heart’s content.You can lose weight and, at the same time, give your body the time it needs to cleanse and detoxify. This is a win-win situation. Don’t you agree?
Juicing fresh vegetables and fruits daily has become a permanent part of my lifestyle. Juice fasting and detoxification is an ongoing process, not just a one-time event that is done and then forgotten.
Believe me, once you get a feel for it, you too will want to adopt juicing as a lifestyle. Fruits and vegetables are full of energy and life that is injected directly your bowels and bloodstream.
Fresh – Not Pausterized
A few recommendations: One of the very first things you will need for juice fasting and detoxification is a good Juicer or Extractor. Go to the Juice Fast Process for a discussion on juicers and extractors.
You can also go to The Anti-Prevention Nation© EXODUS Fasting Lose Weight Shop for our Top Picks in fasting and colon health books, juicers and extractors, colon cleansing kits and enema supplies, kits and suppositories.
There, you will also find the book by Steve Meyerowitz Juice Fasting and Detoxification. I highly, highly recommend that book if you are truly interested in juice fasting for weight loss and improved health.
Now... it is important when juice fasting for detoxification to constantly be aware that fresh means fresh – the real thing, not pasteurized. I would say that 98% of what I eat is raw and uncooked.
This is at the very heart of juice fasting and the vegan, raw food movement. The high heat needed for pasteurization destroys vital nutrients necessary for assimilation and digestion.
The food needs to be alive when entering the body.
When you eat a carrot, the body digests it carrot by extracting the juice for nutrition. The fiber is sent to the colon and the rest becomes waste. Juice fasting and detoxification gives the body a direct shot of the raw juice without it having to break down the fruit or vegetable.
This way the body receives maximum benefit from the nutrients and Phytochemicals, which we will discuss on the following page The Miracle of Juice Fasting.

Y! MyWebBriefly, however, phytochemicals are compounds found in many vegetables that have potent medicinal properties.
Phytochemicals are said to hold the key to preventing deadly diseases as cancer, asthma, heart disease, allergies etc.
This alone should make you pause and consider juice fasting and detoxification.
Our very lives are at stake yet nature has given us gifts in these phytochemicals that can helps us NOW to avert suffering LATER.
It is my hope that through our sincerity you will make up your mind to do this. And do it SOON. You are worth it!
These are very confusing words but here it goes: The phytochemical Diindolylmethane found in broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale is used as a treatment for recurring respiratory disease and a variety of cancers.
And all you have to do is drink it with your juice fasting and detoxification program.
Making it a Priority
I want to reach you with the message of the importance of making juice fasting and detoxification a priority in your life.
A combination of fresh raw fruits and vegetables supplies enzymes, vitamins, minerals, proteins and fats that your body so very much needs for optimum performance.
The modern lifestyle takes its toll on the body more than you realize. So often, for lack of time, we eat the wrong types of foods, cover up hunger with coffee or other stimulants, or simply do not eat at all.
That type of malnutrition is NOT the type of fasting we are talking about here. Yet the benefits of juice fasting and detoxification are so huge – it goes way deep to the cellular level.
When cells are functioning correctly, vital nutrients are more easily absorbed into the body. This results in the ongoing elimination of unwanted toxins.
These toxins, many of them which hide in the walls of the colon, are extremely damaging and could result in skin problems, cold and flu viruses, lethargy and tiredness, headaches and migraines, bad breathe and body odor.
These are all symptoms that you could highly benefit from a period of juice fasting and detoxification.
Your cells’ energy can also be unbalanced by a poor diet, food additives, lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, little or no exercise, stress and worry, smoking, alcohol, drugs and anesthetics, among many others.
Let us now move on and talk more about phytochemicals and The Miracle of Juice Fasting.
Recommended Juicers and Water Purifiers for Optimized Fasting
After years of trial and error in fasting, I have become very particular as to what hardware I use - juicers and water purifiers being two of the most important. Here are the models I highly recommend: In terms of juicers, The Jack Lalanne Power Juicer -- The Breville Juicer Fountain are ones we have used time and again and are sturdy, durable and cost-effective - without being cheap.
For water purification, I highly recommend
The Aquasana Water Purifier Combo Pack (Kitchen & Shower)
--
The Portable Miox Water Purifier.
The Miox water purifier is amazing because you can take it with you on an outing and purify all the water you drink, even salt water.
If you are interested in the ultimate water purification, then we invite you to visit our Water Ionizer page when you have a chance to learn more about the KYK Harmony Water Ionizer.
