There are several types of fasting, from those who for religious reasons to fast until sundown for those who take nothing but water for a long time. If fasting is for health purposes, it makes sense to support your body needs when you reduce or remove some necessary elements of your diet.

The basic elements that we need to remove from our diet for our health is cooked food and animal products. This includes packages such as denatured flour products, refined sugar etc. and all animal products such as red meat, poultry, fish and eggs. The only animal products allowed is usually a bit of honey for sweetening purposes. One of the best methods for achieving this goal is to juice fast.

To do this correctly, you will need a juicer is a machine specially made for this purpose, this is a mixer or blender or. This is not an orange juicer. It is a tool designed to provide vegetable juice out of a barrel while the fiber is deposited in other ways.

Some people can enter the juice as a quick way to overcome some disease conditions. Others may use a fast to detoxify their body or to lose weight. For whatever reason you may chose to juice fast, one dramatic and dramatic elements immediately lose stored body fat. This has many health benefits.

Most of the toxins in our body fat stored in our bodies. Fat metabolism forces toxins into the bloodstream where the body of their process to be removed. Elimination is not totally done through the digestive tract and urinary tract. The main organ of elimination is the lungs. We will breathe some toxins in our breath.

Other major organs of elimination the skin. We not only will emit toxins from the surface of our skin, making people to bathe frequently every day, but the skin may erupt in boils as the toxins, especially petro-chemicals accumulate in boils.

When we realize the burden of toxins we have been brought by the amount of toxins that are gone, we can wonder how we survived at all. A female acquaintance of mine was very involved with the heavy chemotherapy disposal of chemicals from the skin that she constantly showered. Also, bad breath and mouth taste horrible chronic.

This is all achieved with juice fasting.

On the other hand, I also know a man who is only slightly affected by the release of toxins from the body, when he lost a pound a day for 28 days.

It all depends on what is a challenge for your body to detox and how your body, in its sole discretion, 'decided' to lose the stored toxins.

The 'rule of thumb' is to stay in the juice fast until you have been free of detoxification symptoms for two days. These symptoms can become more severe, making people to believe that the 'cure worse than the disease. "However, this is certainly not true in the long run.

This may, during the prolonged fast, that person may have more than a healing crisis. You know that you are successful when you have a healing crisis. In the case of serious illness, some practitioners provide a juice fasting program, maybe, three days a week and the remaining time of the selected patients usually eat fruits and fresh vegetables.

Meat is not part of the recovery of the patient's diet, especially during the critical detoxification period. After that, some practitioners allow patients to possess small amounts of animal protein sources such as two ounces of white fish or eggs a week. Other practitioners they do not allow patients to eat animal products during the period of recovery or continuity.

Prohibited foods include all animal flesh of any kind, including fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products. The only exception for some is the inclusion of a tablespoon of honey once a day for the sweetener.

Strict juice fast is sometimes necessary to set up a good recovery. This may take from several days to three weeks or more. Almost always, there is direct evidence of the success of the fast. The patient will know the next day, the family will know in two or three days and the doctor may see measurable results within a week or more.
