Juice fasting is the oldest, safest (biochemical) method of removing unwanted toxins and weight. Skilled juice fasting helps you to stay healthy and vital, as well as helping in the breaking of addictions. Furthermore, it increases mental clarity.
Here, at Moinhos Velhos, we have experienced and witnessed, through juice fasting, the complete reversal of so-called incurable diseases (like Psoriasis), the cessation of chronic migraines, the elimination of allergies and back problems, and dramatic relief from the discomforts and pains of rheumatic and arthritic sufferers etc.
Even if you feel you are relatively healthy, a juice fast is a wonderful preventative measure against aging and possible future ill-health.
Juice fasting can help to lose surplus weight
The benefits of juice fasting are on so many levels, and different people choose to do our program for various reasons. A number of people enquire as to whether they will lose weight. If you have weight to lose, you will certainly lose some of it - depending on how long you fast for. It is also an excellent first step to losing weight and changing bad eating habits.
Low calorie and other fad diets usually fail because they literally starve the body of much-needed nutrients, causing even greater biochemical imbalance. Thus, when one can no longer stand to continue with the diet because of how heavily the body is craving what is denied, one is usually forced to binge to the point of gaining more weight than was lost, further lowering self-esteem.
During scientific juice-fasting however, the body autolyzes - self-digests its own stored substances, re synthesizing nutrients and eliminating toxins. Additionally, fruit and vegetable juices, alkalinizing vegetable broth, and herbal teas all add vitamins, minerals and trace elements to the body, in addition to aiding detoxification.
After the fast, the body is better able to digest food and is better at utilizing nutrients in the food. The organs have a new vitality - any sluggishness will have disappeared. If the body was prone to water-retention, this also disappears.
So which is better, water or juice fasting? For the most effective detoxification and overall purification juice fasting with powders and herbs (we stopped using the salt water process several years ago) is without doubt the best. Many scientists support juice fasting as the most effective method of detoxification. As Dr. Ragnar Berg, the Swedish Nobelist who was long considered to be the leading biochemist and the foremost authority on nutrition in the world stated:
During fasting the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of accumulated wastes. We can help this process by drinking alkaline juice instead of water. Juice fasting is therefore the best form of fasting. Many other scientists are in total agreement with this.
