Fasting-Juicing- Maintainance

I thought this was interesting:

Almost everyone needs detoxification especially people who are exposed to industrial or environmental toxins. The degree of detoxification varies from person to person. A wide variety of detoxification programs are available to rid the body of toxins though the major detoxification centers of the body namely the skin, lung, intestine, kidney and liver. The cornerstone of detoxification is fasting, juicing and a proper maintenance diet once the body has been detoxified. This can be supplemented with special herbs, antioxidants, probiotics, and enzymes to help the detoxification process.

When you finish fasting...you might consider juice fasting...


Simple 24 Hour Juice Fasting Detoxification Program

Juice fasting enables the digestive system to rest and also speeds up the growth of new cells, which in turn promotes healing. A person on a juice fast should abstain from solid foods and drink fruit and vegetable juices, water and herbal teas throughout the day. While vegetable juices are superior to fruit juices on a day-to-day basis, fruit juices are often recommended in part during a fasting program. Calorie from the Sugar in the fruit juice is needed to avoid hypoglycemia.. The fasting period varies from person to person although every half-hour to an hour is the norm. Frequent juicing will supply the body with adequate amounts of energy throughout the day. Drink at least four 8 to 12 glasses of water everyday during the fast. Avoid coffee, bottled, canned or frozen juice (primarily sugar) and soft drinks. Unsweetened herbal teas are acceptable.

The night before: consume a simple dinner with a green leafy salad. Dry brush your skin before you go to bed to open your pores for the night's cleansing eliminations.
On rising: one glass of two freshly squeezed lemon juice. One tablespoon of maple syrup and 8-oz of pure water at room temperature (filtered but not distilled) .
Midmorning: one glass of cranberry juice from concentrate to promote bowel movement.
Lunch: one glass of fresh apple juice.
Mid-afternoon: one cup of herbal tea.
Dinner: One glass of papaya /pineapple juice to enhance enzyme production or another glass of apple juice.
Before bed: one cup of mint tea, miso soup or hot water for relaxation.
Next morning: break your fast with fresh fruits and yogurt. Consume light, raw foods during the day and a simple, low fat dinner.
The same plan can be extended over the weekend for a three-day detoxification program.
