Juice fasting is gaining popularity
as a great way to detoxify. Many people are interested
in getting toxins out of their system so they can live
a healthier life. When toxins accumulate in the body,
they feel sluggish and also have a poor immune system.
Juice fasting, as a cleansing method, can help to people
to achieve better health and more energy. It is quite
easy to do as fruits are readily obtainable and all
that is required additionally is a juicer.
For a beginner to juice fasting,
it is important to start out slow and to try it out
for one day. By juice fasting, you are limiting your
intake to juices only. Fruit juice is high in sugar,
so if you are a diabetic or otherwise in need of monitoring
your sugar intake you should be cautious of trying a
juice fast with fruit juices. Anyone just starting out
with fasting should always speak with their doctor first.
Also, do not juice fast for prolonged periods like more
than 3 days, not unless your doctor agrees that it is
safe for you to do so.

and vegetables to use together:
Recipe 1: Vegetable Juice Combo
