Green juice detox

Tomorrow the 20th November I shall begin a 7 day green juice detox; Its something I usually engage in twice a year to clean away the cobwebs so to speak!

Everyone can benefit from green juice fasting.  Regardless of how healthy one’s lifestyle or diet might be, we live in a toxic world.  On a chronic basis, we are all exposed to harmful chemicals in our environment.  Most foods contain pesticides, preservatives and additives that are difficult for the body to process.  Additionally, the air and water supplies of most populated areas are contaminated.  Indiscriminate use of pharmaceuticals and habits like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and other drugs push the body into toxic overload.  Other habits on an emotional/psychological level have a similar deleterious effect.  Moreover, the fast-paced multitasking lifestyle that has become the collective norm is extremely taxing on the physiology.

In short, most bodies are being given demands that they cannot sustain.  When our bodies become overloaded, elimination processes slow, overworked organs are unable to finish their respective tasks, and toxins become embedded in our systems.  The results may or may not be apparent to the naked eye, but inevitably lead to diseases and decrease our capacity to function optimally.

The most common symptoms of Toxic Overload Are:

• low energy/fatigue
• poor concentration/memory
• strong food cravings
• depression
• digestive problems
• aches and pains
• sugar/caffeine/alcohol/drug dependence
• frequent illnesses
• excess weight
• disease
• premature aging

Juice fasting allows the body to divert the energy normally expended on the digestive process and use it, instead, on the eradication of toxicity, acidity, and other bodily contaminants.
