How to Prepare Your Body for a Juice Fast

Preparing your body for a juice fast doesn't have to be a scary experience - or a difficult one. I won't lie to you and tell you it's easy, but I will share what works for me each time I venture down the juice fasting path. There's nothing quite like a juice fast that lasts 3+ days. Juice fasting is such a peaceful, healthy experience. I've juice fasted extensively and have found ways to get my body ready for the journey. I hope the following tips help you as much as they help me!

Instructions

1

Go to the grocery store and stock up on lots of fresh fruits and veggies, raw nuts and seeds, and perhaps some organic, omega eggs, and salmon or your favorite fish.

2

Purchase an enema kit if you don't already have one (More about this later).

3

Start eliminating processed foods, red meat, greasy foods, sodas, sugary processed juices and anything that isn't raw or in it's natural form. While preparing your body for the juice fast, since you'll be eliminating other forms of protein, you can add the organic, omega eggs and/or salmon or tuna to your diet.

4

Within a few days of the first day of your juice fast, eliminate the eggs and fish, consuming only the fresh fruits and veggies. This is a good time to actually start incorporating fresh, raw juices into your daily diet as to help your body make the final transition from solid food to a liquid fast.

5

During the time you're working to eliminate unhealthy foods from your diet, you can administer a warm water enema to help your body rid itself of toxins that may cause headaches and flu-like symptoms. This will make for a much smoother experience and will help keep your body from feeling like it's just being shocked into all healthy raw juices from a diet of meat and processed foods and drinks.

6

When you juice fast, your body is receiving the living enzymes and vitamins from the fruits and veggies right into your blood stream. Enjoy the experience. If you have a headache, remember the enema will help eliminate those toxins from your body that is causing it. Enjoy the juice fasting experience and be healthy!
