Let's Juice

iAMsmiling

All joking aside, there are many benefits to a juice fast, including:

balanced pH and blood sugar levels,

a cleansed and regulated colon,

weight loss (fat, not water),

diminished toxin load,

strengthened immune system,

increased mental clarity,

heavy metals cleansing,

increased liver function capacity,

loss of cravings for sugar and other stimulants,

cellular cleansing and rebuilding,

radiant, glowing complexion,

diminished pains and allergies (some disappear completely),

blood, tissue and organ cleansing,

restored liver function capacity,

increased energy levels,

emotional cleansing and release,

and an enhanced sense of joy and lightness is usually experienced.

Can't say I've done a juice fast though or will in the future (maybe).... I juice quite a bit, but never as a 'fast'. If I ever feel a cold coming on, a green juice with garlic zaps it. I have cured hangovers with green juice, and it's THE best energy drink out there. Yum, now someone make me one cause I'm too lazy right now.

That's a lot of nonsense for a single post.
On the positive side, it gives me my first opportunity to quote a brilliant and talented member on the subject.

To cleanse or not to cleanse? That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of non-specific toxins
Or to take arms against a sea of imagined bowel obstructions
And by opposing, perforate one's colon. To juice; to detox;
No more; and by a detox to say we end
The pH and the balance of intestinal flora
That guts are heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be avoided. To juice; to detox;
To detox: perchance to puke: aye, there's the rub;
For in the pangs of indigestion what side-effects may come
When we go and leave our undies soiled.

My coworkers are staring at me as I giggle.

Well, If you've never tried a fresh green juice, you'll never know how good it makes you feel. To each their own. :drinker:

I once "enjoyed" a tall carrot juice with a young hippie girl back home, but that was mostly about getting laid. Now that I think of it, it really did make me feel better. In that context, I'm all for juicing.

I did watch it. Nothing more than an hour-long infomercial for a fad diet.
