Juice Fast For Cleaner Colons
The colon is the place where a lot of the absorption of nutrients takes place. Forget the stomach, that breaks food down and begins the digestive process, or rather continues the process begun in the mouth with our teeth and saliva. Once through the stomach and pushed into the colon, there is still work to be done. Imagine how much faster and more efficiently the whole digestive system could do its job if the nutrients were presented to it in a more easily managed form? A juice fast does just that.
Juice Goes Right To Work!
Juice goes right to work. When you take a stack of vegetables and run them through a blender or juicer you process the nutrients and extract them from the vegetable or fruit and convert them into a form that the body can consume and absorb far more rapidly than as solid items. Chewing breaks them down somewhat, followed by time in the tummy but then they have to go to the colon and they can hang around in there for a few hours or a few days. In juice format they go straight down to the stomach, fill that up and make you feel satiated, then into the colon and pass through pretty rapidly, giving off goodness all the way. You have more energy right away because the stored energy in the vegetables or fruits is given up quickly and easily and you don’t waste energy processing solid foods.
Side Effects Of Juice Fasting
If you have a pre-existing condition, the juice fast might just fix it up on the spot, or at least over a reasonably short period of time. It will get the body back into balance and by cutting out the processed food products and all the added bits of modern living (such as fats, oils, high sugar content) you will lose weight as well as clean your system out. It will set you up for better lifestyle choices. Having said that, if you are diabetic and you drink too much grapefruit juice for example, it can exacerbate your condition. You can feel nausea, suffer dizziness and headaches and generally feel wiped out but these feelings will usually last a day or so only and by the fourth day most people feel better than they have in their adult lives. If you continue to experience problems, stop the juice fast and see your doctor, the one you consulted before starting this program.
