I WOULD LIKE TO DO A 7 DAY JUICE FAST, BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF JUICE TO BUY, SO CAN U TELL ME SOME NAMES OF JUICES TO GET FOR MY JUICE FAST, PLEASE……… I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE IT…… MEL….
I do a 21 day water fast once a year- part of the process of ending the fast is to juice fast before returning to a normal diet.
Do not buy juice from concentrate. Ideally, you should have a juicer (you can buy them for relatively cheap if you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money) and use only FRESH juice.
If that is out of the question for you, try going to a local health foods store (Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc) and asking if they carry fresh juices.
I recently bought the Lexen manual juicer – $45.00 – it does just as good a job as very expensive auger juicers. It’s very satisfying to produce your own cold-pressed juice by hand. Although described as a wheatgrass juicer, I bought it for fruit & vegetable juicing. It’s great for carrots – and the ejected pulp is perfect for muffins! I mention this because I’m about to do a water fast (my first) to address some cardiovascular problems. The juicing will help before and after the fast. Physician, heal thyself! Good luck to you all.
They say juice fasting is effective to cure bowel disorders, how true is it? How good is it compared to water fasting?
