A one day fast can rest the digestive system.

The process of digestion takes so much energy.  For our system to break down what we are eating so we can get the energy that we need can be quite a task internally.
I am not saying that this is a bad thing but juicing helps give you that energy you need instantly.

Here are a few juice fasting tips to get you started.

  • The day before your fast eat a light diet of fruit and vegetables.
  • On the day of your fast, eliminate all solid foods.
  • Drink fruit or vegetable juice (don’t mix them – our body uses different enzymes to digest them.)
  • Drink up to 4 liters (about 7-8 pints) of juice a day and try to “chew” it rather than simply gulp it, this will aid in the digestion process.
  • A gentle practice that consists of various yoga poses can help speed up the detoxification process.

Fasting is an excellent time to devote to concentration and meditation as the mind may feel sharper and more acute than normal.
During a fast, toxins and impurities are released from the body through all the organs of elimination, including the skin.  For this reason, you should wash regularly to keep the skin fresh and clean.  Do the loofa thing to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the circulation and the nervous system.
You may even experience skin eruptions as the body goes through its internal cleaning process.
