In order to cleanse the body from all harmful toxins and wastes, you need to do detoxification from time to time. Juice fasting is one of the ways of body detoxification. This detoxification can be done for a period of 2-3 days and is quite simple to follow. It is a perfect form of self-healing by using liquid diets that are high in nutrition. Juice fasting will include only water, juices and tea. Apart from these liquids, you might also have to take some health supplements.
Steps for Following a Juice Fasting for Detoxification
Follow these simple steps to do an healthy and effective juice fasting for detoxification:
- Plan out your juice fasting days in such a way that you have minimal physical activity. In a week, set aside 2 or 3 days to do the fast.
- A day before starting your juice fast, purchase fruits and vegetables. You will require a bag of carrots, 6 cucumbers, 15 apples, 2 bunches of fresh parsley, 1 hand full of ginger, 3 tiny beets, 2 bunches of fresh spinach and 2 celery.
- To prepare the broth you will require vegetarian broth powder, 2 carrots, 4 potatoes, one onion, 5 garlic cloves, 2 stalks of fresh celery, water and a handful of Dulse seaweed. Put all these ingredients in a soup pan and boil them on low flame. Add just about a teaspoon of the vegetarian broth powder to every cup of broth juice you drink. Make sure you do not eat the vegetables.
- The more the juice the more the flushing out. So, do not worry about drinking way too much of liquid. Ideally, you are required to drink about 32 ounces of vegetable and fruit juices and another 32 ounces of tea and broth.
- Do some very light exercises like a short walk or relax yourself by doing yoga and do not forget to breath deeply.
- Each time you feel hungry, simply drink a glass of juice. During your juice fasting you might experience some gas, but that is natural and do not be bothered about it.
