Juice Fast

The Miracle Of Juice Fasting

One juice binge (just taking juice for several days) isn’t going to do much in terms of cleansing. 5 – 7 fruits/veggies a day is what’s needed long term. Consuming nothing but juice means you get a lot less fiber, fat and protein. Fiber helps the body eliminate toxins from the digestive tract. It also slows down uptake of sugar, keeping blood sugar more stable, without it, considering the high levels of fruit sugars and limited calories in a juice diet, you’ll feel extra hungry and may experience dizzying blood sugar spikes and crashes. A couple of days of juice fast won’t do any harm but longer than that can trigger starvation mode which slows metabolism down and when this happens too often the change can be permanent. Physiologically, juice cleanses don’t clear toxins out of your body. The liver and kidneys filter toxins out of the body all of the time but they need the full complement of nutrients provided by healthy diet in order to do so.
