Benefits To Juice
Fasting
There are many benefits to juicing, especially if you prepare them
yourself:
1. If drank fresh, the juice is full of live enzymes, which is helpful
the body.
2. Unlike coming out from a packet, the juice is fresh and not
pasteurized. Pasteurization many have its conveniences but it has
resulted in nutritionally dead foods. During pasteurization, high heat
is used and this destroys the vital nutrients within the juice.
3. You consume more vegetables by drinking than by eating. As you
probably have experienced, it’s not always possible to eat as many
vegetables as you would like. Drinking fresh vegetable juice helps
take care of this problem.
4. Digestion and assimilation of the vegetable nutrients is much
easier. Your body is in fact, like a juicer. When you eat a celery,
your body will digest the celery by extracting the juice to get the
nutrition. The fiber is eliminated via the colon and bowel movements.
However, if you juice, you have already extracted the juice for the
body thus making it easier for your assimilation. Nevertheless, it’s
still important to eat whole vegetables and fruits because you need
some amount of fiber as well.
5. Fasting gives your digestive system a rest. Since fresh fruit and
vegetable juices require little digestion, and are quickly assimilated
into your body. Most of the 10% of bodily energy normally involved in
your assimilation, digestion, and elimination is freed up. The end
result? You feel a sense of renewed energy after the fast.
6. A fast helps to also break down toxic materials - fat, abnormal
cells and tumors–and releases diseased tissues and their cellular
products into the circulation for elimination.
7. In addition, new cell growth during fasting is stimulated and
accelerated as the required proteins are re-synthesized from
decomposed cells (during autolysis). Your serum albumin reading, that
is blood-protein level, remains constant and normal throughout your
fast, as your body very smartly uses protein and other stored
nutrients where needed.
8. Juice fasting is a much gentler process of detoxification as
compared to water fasting. For a juice fast, a broad variety of fruits
and vegetables should be used in combination and that is necessary to
enhance health during the fast. In this manner, the body still gets
its daily calories from the easily-digested juices as compared to the
more extreme water fast. Thus, the release of toxins from the fat
cells in a juice fast is much more gentle and gradual.
