Detoxing the Body by Juice Fasting

By Jay Collins

Detoxifying by juice fasting is gaining in popularity as more and more people are looking to get rid of the toxins in the body. A lot of people want to get rid of these toxins to make them feel generally better. These toxins can accumulate in the body causing you to feel tired and sluggish and they can also affect the immune system. Better health and the sensation of more energy is often reported by people who cleanse by juice fasting. It is also a good way to detox as fruit is readily available and relatively cheap.

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.

I have compiled some good recipes below which are great combinations of fruit and vegetables to get you started on your fast:

Recipe 1: This is a great drink with a combination of different vegetables. Three carrots, one celery stalk, two swiss chard leaves, a few sprigs of watercress, a celery stalk and half a beetroot. Wash, dice and juice is all that is needed. Quick and delicious.

recipe 2: This is a simple and delicious recipe of three apples, a few leaves of basil and just one carrot. As above, wash with distilled water, chop and put through the machine.

recipe 3. To make a nice refreshing carrot juice with a little extra taste, take four carrots, a kale leaf, fresh coriander, mint, basil and a handful of dandelion leaves. Mic all together and juice.

Recipe 4: Adding four peaches into the juicer makes a very simple but surprisingly cleaning juice.

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.
