Detoxing Through Juicing

If you are sick or a kid is then you can try detuning through juicing. These fasts are embarked on every now and then to keep your body as alkaline as possible. These fasts usually last from three to seven days. I would never put a kid on one for more than three days. A mom can handle it a little longer and it is a great way to get more energy and lose weight.

However although the tradition is to drink only juices for days on end you can also alkalinize your body simply by embarking on a fasting plan.

Drinking fresh juices is one of the fastest ways to restore your health. You will undoubtedly experience the significant healing power of fresh juice to feel young and look great.

First time juicers will often find they have to add some extra protein powder in their morning beverage. Nut milks like hemp and almond are also good alternatives for adding a bit of protein to your diet if needed.

Hot vegetable broths are an alternative to your evening beverage if you feel hungry.
Spring and autumn are the best times to do a juice fast. If you are choosing to do one in the winter, adjust your plan to include some protein in the morning and the warm broths at night.

By the way wheatgrass is a superior juice. Wheatgrass It purifies and alkalizes the blood, neutralizes toxins, cleanses the liver and colon, oxygenates the cells, and detoxifies the cellular fluids. It’s high in chlorophyll, which is a natural detoxifier.

Wheatgrass requires a specific wheatgrass juicer. You can also buy it in flash-frozen form at your local whole foods suppliers.

Going through detox is like giving your body a vacation. It allows healing and rebalancing to begin in our body. You need to sometimes work to make this happen. Many of us find it very difficult to give up sugar, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and chemicals.

Still steeling your will to go through a detox might be necessary especially if you are getting that wake up call about your health. It is absolutely necessary in this day and age to take responsibility for yourself. It is only thing you can do to prevent disease and ensure that you will live a long and happy life.

Many people do not experience any physical problems at all but some people really do. If you do it means you are physically addicted to whatever you have eliminated from your life – it could be anything from cigarettes to booze to sugar!
