Detoxification is the process of removing waste and toxin substances from the body. And, fasting is the perfect tool to detoxify the body. Out of all the fasts, juice fasting is an effective way to detoxify the body. During the detoxification process, while the body is flushing the harmful toxins, the juices help in providing natural minerals and nutrients which help the body to heal and stay energised. This is a very nice natural process of cleansing the body.
Tips: Here are a few tips that you can consider while doing a juice fasting for detoxification.
- Before starting your juice fast, it is advisable that you consult your physician about your ability to do the fast. If you are suffering from any chronic medical conditions like diabetes and other medical conditions like being underweight then it is wise to consult with your physician and then proceed.
- Juice fasting is all about just having liquids and absolutely no solids what so ever. But, most people might find it difficult to stick to the ‘only-liquids-no-food’ fast. However, it’s important that you avoid eating any kind of solid food.
- During your juice fast stay away from smoking, caffeine and alcohol.
- Include a lot of vegetable juices in your fast. Although carrot juice is more appealing don’t forget to include greens as well. It’s better if you consume fresh juices.
- It is easier to have diluted juices. Make sure that you mix the juice with proportionate amount of water. Or you can also drink one glass of water just before you consume your non diluted juice.
- Each time the hunger pangs attack you, just drink juice. You are required to drink a minimum of 8 oz of water per day. This will make sure that your bodies is supplied with the required nutrients and vitamins.
- Juice fasting is effective when it’s done at least for 3 days because that’s when the body will start flushing out the toxins. And, you always have the option of extending the fast.
- Make sure you break the fast gradually. Instead of digging in on solid food immediately, try to slowly move on to a solid diet. Start with fruits and vegetables, then salads and then finally the meat and other yummy food. Just make sure that you don’t immediately jump into eating fatty food.
Juice fasting for detoxification is very popular and many people find it convenient to follow. So, if you find this could be your perfect way to detox, then why not give it a shot?
