Juice Fasting & Colon Cleansing

|
A juice fast has a greater ability to
encourage healing compared to fasting on water.
Why? Juice fasting cleanses the body
while supplying a dramatic increase in vitamins, minerals
and enzymes. The juices of fruits are filled with healing,
cleansing properties which allow the body to gently and safely
detoxify. In the modern day, water fasting alone would be
unwise for the vast majority of people – our bodies
are simply not able to cope. Moreover, because you are being
supplied with optimal levels of nutrients during a juice
fast, your energy levels can increase – way beyond
what you might experience on a ‘normal’ day’s
eating!
Colon cleansing
An under active colon is the norm
for people in the Western world today. Instead of functioning
as nature intended, with bowels emptying after every meal – our
systems have become like stagnant cesspools, allowing over
time for chronic ill health, below-par functioning and specific
conditions such as IBS, Diverticultiis or Colitis to develop.
When the colon is irritated by diet,
stress, drugs, chemicals, and other substances, it tries
to protect itself by producing more mucus. This additional
mucus can bind with the sludge from refined foods, such as
white flour, and build up on the wall of the bowel, narrowing
the lumen. This layer of gluey, hardened faeces can weigh
several pounds and is a good place for harmful organisms
to breed. Do not think because you have regular bowel movements,
or even diarrhoea, that you have escaped this problem. The
stool can pass daily through a dirty colon and leave the
accumulated residue on the walls behind.
Colon cleansing is the first step
on the true road to recovery. When you have cleansed your
colon and restored the balance of the good and bad bacteria,
when you have adequate production of enzymes and your dietary
intake and internal production of vitamins is correct, your
food intolerance, chronic health condition or general sluggishness
should improve or even disappear. Cleansing the colon also
has huge effects on the appearance – skin regains vibrancy,
blemishes can disappear – and water retention or cellulite
can finally start to be broken down. Most often, one of the
first comments made about a post Detox client is how bright
their eyes are! The whites of the eyes regain a youthful
clearness –in my experience, this radiates not only
the new found physical health but also the mental health
and clarity often talked about as a magnificent side effect
of colon cleansing.
