48 Hr Juice Fast

Spring is here and I’m definitely enjoying it.  I can see it in the trees along the roadways with their bright, fresh green budding leaves.  Regeneration.  And now for a little regeneration of my own.  But first, some elimination.

I am finishing up a 48 hour juice fast, and it went a little something like this: 

I took a shot of Acai berry juice and Aloe Vera juice every 6 hours or so.  As a treat I had some coconut juice after the 24 hour mark, and then I had some lightly sweetened green tea.  Also, I had a black/green tea with a shot of espresso during the first 24 hours before doing my vocal workout.  No solid food.  Lots of good bottled water and deep breathing.

Fasting has so many benefits, so here’s a few interesting ones to jump-start your interest:

- Fasting has been shown to heal the brain.

-Fasting is believed to impact the root causes of cancer.

Exactly what are you doing to your body when you fast and what is the result?

Eliminations during the cleansing process

• Dead, dying or diseased cells
• Unwanted fatty tissue
• Trans-fatty acids
• Hardened coating of mucus on the intestinal wall
• Toxic waste matter in the lymphatic system and bloodstream
• Toxins in the spleen, liver and kidneys
• Mucus from the lungs and sinuses
• Imbedded toxins in the cellular fibers and deeper organ tissues
• Deposits in the microscopic tubes responsible for nourishing brain cells
• Excess cholesterol

The Result

• Mental clarity is improved
• Rapid, safe weight loss is achieved without flabbiness
• The nervous system is balanced
• Energy level is increased
• Organs are revitalized
• Cellular biochemistry is harmonized
• The skin becomes silky, soft and sensitive
• There is greater ease of movement
• Breathing becomes fuller, freer and deeper
• The digestive system is given a well-deserved rest

If you’re interested in learning exactly How to Fast, I found this link to be very helpful:  fasting and detoxification methods.

For my next juice fast, I’m thinking about adding a 3 to 6 mile run and extending the fast to 72 hours.  I dig it.  It’s exciting to realize what the human body is capable of.

Special thanks to Tom Coghill of Fasting.ws for his valuable research and work with fasting.
