			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So far I&#8217;ve breezed through <span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a title="juice fasting, 30-day juice fast, day 3, E3 Live" href="http://healingwithjuices.com/2009/06/day-1-of-a-30-day-juice-fast-and-juicer-mishaps/" target="_blank">days 1</a></strong></span> and <span style="color: #000000;"><a title="day 2 of a 30-day juice fast" href="http://healingwithjuices.com/2009/06/day-2-of-a-30-day-juice-fast/" target="_blank"><strong>2</strong></a> </span>of this <a title="30 day juice fast" href="http://healingwithjuices.com/category/30-day-juice-fast/" target="_blank"><strong>30-day juice fast</strong></a>. Today marks day 3 and I thought I&#8217;d take advantage of the number 3 and talk about E3 Live. The company was kind enough to send me some to review (I&#8217;m LOVING it&#8211;thank you SO MUCH E3 Live!!!). I&#8217;m very pleased with the results so far! I&#8217;ll keep you updated on how I&#8217;m feeling while taking it but I plan on dedicating an entire in-depth post to E3 Live in the near future.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I&#8217;d like to introduce you to it. E3 Live is a superfood. (You can learn more about it at <span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a href="http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/visione3/t.asp?id=2942">E3Live.com</a></strong></span>.)It&#8217;s a green liquid that a lot of people describe as tasting &#8220;green&#8221;. I have to describe it the same way&#8211;but it isn&#8217;t a strong green taste. It&#8217;s pretty mild to me. Of course, I&#8217;m used to green juices and smoothies and even herbal tonics, so I could be wrong but I think you&#8217;ll also find that it doesn&#8217;t have as potent of a green taste as you&#8217;d think. (I guess you&#8217;ll just have to try some for yourself!) <img src='http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2><span style="color: #008000;">Day 3 Recap</span></h2>
<p>This morning started off with lemon water (see <span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a title="lemon water, 30-day juice fast" href="http://healingwithjuices.com/2009/06/day-2-of-a-30-day-juice-fast/" target="_blank">yesterday&#8217;s post</a></strong></span> for the recipe). About half an hour later, I had a strawberry-blueberry juice. Around 10 a.m. or so, I had a tall glass of herbal iced tea. Then I did a no-no: I poured myself a cup of coffee. Just a few sips hit my stomach like a ton of bricks! (This is when I know that my body is finally rejecting coffee&#8211;yay!!! So, no more coffee!)</p>
<p>I noticed I was feeling really tired today, so a little before 1 p.m., I reached for a green juice. Until now, each time I&#8217;ve taken E3 Live, I&#8217;ve just downed it straight up. I haven&#8217;t added it to a smoothie or anything. But I felt like adding it to my green juice today&#8211;so I did!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"> E3 Live Juice </span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #000000;">(1 tablespoon of E3 Live liquid into my green juice.)</span><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1496" title="e3-live" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/e3-live-300x225.jpg" alt="e3-live" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The ingredient list for E3 Live (from the site):</strong><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Supplement Facts:</strong> Protein &lt;1g; Trans Fat 0g; Vitamin A 1890 IU 38% daily value; Vitamin K 34mcg 43% daily value; Riboflavin 49 mcg 3% daily value; Vitamin B1 27 mcg 117% daily value; Organic Liquid AFA Algae (Fresh-frozen Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) </em></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">Lovin&#8217; My E3 Live Shaker Cup! </span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #000000;">(Thanks for letting me try your shaker, E3 Live!)</span><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1497" title="e3-live-in-a-green-juice-juice-fasting" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/e3-live-in-a-green-juice-juice-fasting-225x300.jpg" alt="e3-live-in-a-green-juice-juice-fasting" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<h2><span style="color: #008000;"><br />
</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #000000;">I&#8217;ve also had more herbal tea and water. It&#8217;s 5 p.m. as I&#8217;m typing this &#8230; I&#8217;ll probably have another green juice at 6 p.m. or so. I skipped the snack juice this afternoon&#8211;the E3 Live carried me right on through!</span></span></p>
<p>Note: I also noticed I slept better last night!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #008000;">A First</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #000000;">I&#8217;ve never added anything to my juices while juice fasting. Adding E3 Live during a juice fast is a new experience for me&#8211;but it&#8217;s an experience I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;ve had and I&#8217;ll now continue it on future juice fasts!<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><strong>What about you? Have you added superfood liquids or powders on your juice fasts? Why or why not? I can&#8217;t wait to read your juicy comments! </strong> <img src='http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>As I was writing this week&#8217;s articles, I realized that you might like to have a list of the juice fasting articles I have written for <em>Raw People</em> so far. On days I don&#8217;t post here, you can re-visit this post  and peruse the juice fasting information I&#8217;ve shared on RawPeople.com.</p>
<p>All you have to do is click on the title of the article and that link will take you to the article. I&#8217;ve included an excerpt from each article so you can have a sneak peek of each article&#8230;.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Making Up Your Mind to Juice Fast</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>Okay, so you’ve decided to go on a <a title="juicing, raw food, health, alternative medicine" href="../category/juice-fasting/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">juice fast</span></a>.</span></strong><span> Maybe it’s just because you want to get healthier, or perhaps you&#8217;re looking to get a jump-start on weight loss. Let’s hope you&#8217;ve decided to sacrifice your favorite foods and survive a few days on raw juices because you want to focus on cleaning your body and helping it <a title="organic, health, coffee enema, enema recipes, alternative medicine" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4594315_prepare-administer-organic-coffee-enema.html" target="_blank"><strong>get rid of</strong></a> years &#8211; maybe even decades &#8211; of all the bad stuff that’s caked up inside. Let’s also hope it’s because you’ve truly searched your heart and wholeheartedly decided to lead a lifestyle that promotes life instead of one that promotes sickness, premature death, and obesity. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>If you’re only planning on juice fasting to lose weight, you may as well not do it. </span></strong><span>Yes, most people lose several pounds juice fasting – I have. But weight loss is about so much more than lost pounds. Weight loss is about changing your entire lifestyle – mind, body, and soul. Weight loss is about targeting why you gained weight in the first place and what you’re going to do to prevent yourself from gaining weight again once you’ve lost it. So, although you probably will lose weight during your juice fast, it’s best to think of those lost pounds as just part of the process and not your sole reason for juicing fasting. Trust me; I do know what I’m talking about. I’ve lost over 100 pounds – and kept it off.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>Made up your mind yet? Fantabulous! Let&#8217;s get started<strong>!</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">A few ideas for that pre-juice fast menu:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: normal;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Organic Greek yogurt with raw walnuts, and fresh or frozen blueberries</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>This is a yummy treat you can enjoy any time. I prefer Oikos organic Greek yogurt myself, but you may like another brand. <span> </span>(Nope, I didn&#8217;t get paid for saying I love Oikos &#8211; it&#8217;s delish, filling, and most importantly, healthy!) Besides the protein in the yogurt, you&#8217;re getting protein from the heart-healthy walnuts, and loading up on antioxidants in those juicy blueberries.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2787151321_b24fc55484.jpg?v=0" alt="Oikos Greek Yogurt, blueberries, almonds, Sun Butter, ground flax" width="325" height="241" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Chopped avocado, tomato, red onion, juice from a real lemon</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301860.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71 aligncenter" title="Avocado - Tomato Snack" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301860-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="235" /></a></p>
<p>This is yum-o!! Simply cut up a fresh tomato and avocado and toss in a bowl. You can add a homemade vinaigrette if you want to. I don&#8217;t. I do squeeze the juice of about a half of a lemon over the avocado. (I wouldn&#8217;t use the lemon juice that comes in a bottle.)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>This is one of my favorite salads <em>ever</em>. You can throw in whatever your favorite veggies are. The blueberries are optional but they are divine on salad! If you’re a big meat eater, adding salmon or tuna to your salad is a wonderful way to still feed your body a protein that will satisfy you while staying away from red meat. I normally don’t eat salmon or tuna within a few days of a juice fast, simply because it’s a little bit difficult for our bodies to adjust to an all liquid diet after consuming a lot of protein each day. </span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>Prepare, Prepare, Prepare</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">I&#8217;ve mentioned this before but it really is crucial to prepare <a title="health, alternative medicine, juice fasting" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4595664_prepare-body-juice-fast.html" target="_blank"><strong>your body</strong></a> and <a title="alternative medicine, health, juice fasting" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4595690_prepare-mind-juice-fast.html" target="_blank"><strong>your mind</strong></a> before setting out on this amazing journey with raw juices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>I&#8217;m so used to juice fasting it&#8217;s pretty much become second nature for me.</span></strong><span> I listen to my body &#8211; and mind &#8211; and I know when both are craving a raw juice fast. You’ll learn to do this too as you become more experienced with juice fasting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>I never, ever recommend that you start a long juice fast right off the bat.</span></strong><span> Like anything else, you want to ease your body into juice fasting. Think about it. You wouldn’t wake up one day and decide you want to be a runner, hop out of bed, and run the longest marathon there is. No, you’d go buy yourself some running shoes, maybe pick out an area to start running, jump online and study the stretches you need to do to prepare your muscles for a run. You might start jogging and/or doing some other exercises.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>The most important message I want to share is that juice fasting is a marvelous way to nourish your body and mind.</span></strong><span> It’s a beautiful journey between the person who is fasting and the raw food our bodies were made to consume. It’s a great way to slow yourself down and find the calm that lies within you, but is drowned out by all the world’s chaotic noises. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span>Have you ever juice fasted? Are you just venturing out to try it? What are your thoughts on juice fasting? I’d love to hear them!</span></strong></p>

<p><strong>January is a month for resolutions, dreams, promises &#8211; to ourselves and others &#8211; </strong>and a time to reflect on what the previous year held for us, as well as ponder where the new year will take us. Instead of making resolutions that are so hard to keep, why not set some goals you know you&#8217;ll actually attempt reaching? How can you do that? Let&#8217;s have a look at the following suggestions.</p>

<li><strong><span>Set short-term goals instead of      focusing on the overall picture.</span></strong><span> Have 50 or 100 pounds to lose? Work on losing 10.      That&#8217;s right. Just 10. If you focus on losing weight in 10 pound      increments, you&#8217;re more likely to keep going when you reach an 8 pound      weight loss. If you lose 8 pounds and keep dwelling on the fact you have      92 more to lose, you might get discouraged and give up.</span> (For more tips on losing weight, <strong><a title="health, weight loss" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4666493_achieve-weight-loss-lose-pounds.html" target="_blank">read this article</a></strong>.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong><span>Work      toward your new health regimen gradually.</span></strong><span> Don’t stop enjoying your favorite      foods and drinks cold turkey. If you’re drinking 4 sodas a day, knock off      one, then another – until you eventually only drink a soda on occasion, if      at all. By easing into your new health regimen, you’ll find yourself being      able to stick with it.</span></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Published Sunday, December 28, 2008</p>
<p>By</p>
<p><strong><a title="writer and blogger" href="http://www.micheletune.com" target="_blank">Michele L. Tune</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/bills-cafe-breakfast-973049-tn.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-81 alignleft" style="float: left;" title="juice fasting" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/bills-cafe-breakfast-973049-tn.jpg" alt="" width="153" height="115" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The thought of juice fasting can be a scary one.</strong> It might seem like folks are always trying to talk you out of trying it. &#8220;Oh, you need to eat!&#8221; or &#8220;You can&#8217;t live on liquid alone.&#8221; are things you might here if you mention you&#8217;re thinking of going on a juice fast.</p>
<p><strong>What they don&#8217;t understand, though, is how beneficial raw juice fasts actually are.</strong> In my experience, I have slept more soundly and woke up more rested, gained better vision, thought more clearly, and I simply love how &#8220;light&#8221; and healthy I feel while juice fasting.</p>
<p><strong>One thing that did surprise me is that juice fasting really becomes a spiritual experience </strong>- whatever that means to you. It&#8217;s like you&#8217;re more in tune with yourself, your goals, your dreams, your visions. I love that feeling and personally take the opportunity to pray more, reflect on my spiritual walk and absorb all the peace I can, while in that quiet, still place juice fasting brings me to.</p>
<p><strong>So, how do you start a juice fast?</strong> First, you need to do a little research. What types of fruits and vegetables do you like? What are the benefits of those particular fruits and/or vegetable juices? Do you have any health issues? If so, would certain juices interfere or cause problems? For instance, if you&#8217;re a diabetic (and, I&#8217;ll tell you that it isn&#8217;t recommended for diabetics to juice fast; however, I was on diabetic medication when I started juice fasting.)</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re trying to control your blood sugar, </strong>and you do decide to try a short juice fast, (or even if you&#8217;re just juicing for health), focus on the dark greens: spinach, turnip, beet, etc.</p>
<p><strong>I learned to listen to my body,</strong> I stayed away from too much fruit (because the fruit/fruit juice turns to sugar in your bloodstream), and I had to accept that I wasn&#8217;t physically able to do a 30- or 40-day juice fast at the beginning.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I&#8217;m a freelance writer. <strong>Two articles I&#8217;ve written recently that will be of great benefit to you before you begin your juice fast is:</strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="juice fasting" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4595690_prepare-mind-juice-fast.html" target="_blank">How to Prepare Your Mind for a Juice Fast</a></strong></p>
<p>and</p>
<p><strong><a title="juice fasting" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4595664_prepare-body-juice-fast.html" target="_blank">How to Prepare Your Body for a Juice Fast</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>With a new year fast approaching us, it&#8217;s a great time to focus on improving your health by juice fasting.</strong> It&#8217;s not necessarily a great idea to write a long list of new years&#8217; resolutions because, let&#8217;s face it, most of us never keep them and it only makes us feel worse about ourselves. No need for negativity when 2009 can be the best year of your life!</p>

<p><strong>After my recent <a title="birthday dinner" href="http://writingthecyberhighway.com/2008/08/birthday-dinner-feeding-a-writers-soul/" target="_blank">birthday dinner</a>, I decided I should drink a few raw juices to flush my system.</strong> I prefer actually juice fasting for at least two days (without eating at all) but haven’t had time to do that. Also, I finally found my favorite organic Greek yogurt at a local store so I bought several containers of it. Now I have to finish them all before they ruin! <img src='http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  A short juice fast is just around the corner for me, though.</p>
<blockquote><p>As I work toward the fast, I’ve only been eating some raw fruit and veggies, the Greek yogurt, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=raw%20nuts&amp;tag=healingwithjuices-20&amp;index=grocery&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">raw nuts</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healingwithjuices-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=SunGold%20sunbutter&amp;tag=healingwithjuices-20&amp;index=grocery&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Sun Butter</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healingwithjuices-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. (More about pre-fast eating in an upcoming post.)<strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>My regular diet is pretty much clean anyway but I like to really prepare my body for a juice fast </strong>– and that means a goal of 100% raw foods, lots of water and herbal tea. I do eat some fish, eggs, and cooked vegetables, so I just begin to eliminate them a little at a time until I&#8217;m eating only raw.  Another thing I do to transition into a juice fast is start drinking the raw juices like I’m doing now.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve enjoyed a variety of raw juices so far, but today I want to focus on the watermelon juice.</strong> Watermelon is an amazing fruit. It&#8217;s loaded with goodies for our bodies to drink up and its juice will flush your kidneys. It&#8217;s nice to give the kidneys a boost and help them rid our bodies of toxins (toxins are in the air we breathe, food we eat, etc.) So, It’s very healing – and delicious too!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Here are a few fun facts:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Eating watermelon may help fight inflammation in diseases such as colon cancer, arthritis, asthma, and others.</li>
<li>Three servings a day could fight macular degeneration.</li>
<li>It could possibly even prevent cancer!</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>Healing for (Raw) Juices Tip:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You could get all 3 of those servings in one tall glass of tasty juice.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>A few nutrients you&#8217;ll be feeding your body are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vitamin C</li>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Vitamin B-6</li>
<li>Vitamin B-1</li>
<li>Potassium</li>
<li>Magnesium</li>
<li>Antioxidants</li>
<li>and more!</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><em>*Nutrition information from whfoods.com</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>The fun part is you get to juice the entire watermelon.</strong> Yes, there are nutrients in the rind and seeds &#8211; isn’t that great? You just chop the watermelon into pieces that will fit into the top of your juicing machine and if you want a regular glass (approx. 16 oz.) <strong>you’ll need 2 pieces (about 1 inch or so thick) or 4 cups, chopped.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301712.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-66" title="Watermelon" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301712-300x238.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="199" /></a><a href="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301715.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-67" title="Watermelon 2" src="http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s7301715-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="268" height="198" /></a></p>
<p><strong>It takes only a short time to get all the pieces in and then you can enjoy its sweet goodness. </strong>You’ll wonder how something so tasty is so healthy for you, but it is!</p>
<p>Enjoy your watermelon flush&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>Many people don’t realize skin problems can come from within.</strong> Instead of reaching for the telephone to order the magic chemical cocktail you’ve just watched on the latest infomercial, why not reach for fresh fruit and veggies and make yourself a juice?</p>
<p>I’m a big fan of juice fasting. I love how my skin looks and feels during and after (and I get compliments on my skin all the time), but you don’t have to juice fast for your skin to reap the natural benefits. Simply incorporate fresh juices with your meals.</p>
<p><strong>Pick up an inexpensive juicing machine from your favorite store, flea market, or even a garage sale.</strong> If possible, shop your local farmer’s market for the fresh fruits and veggies you&#8217;ll be using to create the following delicious drinks.</p>
<p>Not only does the healthy extracted freshness tickle the taste buds, it also purifies your blood (which affects your skin’s appearance) and rejuvenates your complexion.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong> </strong></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Here are a few simple recipes to begin with.</strong></p>
<p>If you have a lot of breakouts, you may want to cleanse your blood.</p>
<p><strong>For this, you’ll need:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3 sweet apples</li>
<li>8 strawberries</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>To enhance your complexion, you’ll want to use:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>8 strawberries</li>
<li>2 bunches of grapes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>And, to improve your skin overall, try mixing:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>6 carrots</li>
<li>½ green bell pepper</li>
</ul>
<p><em>You’ll love these sweet juices and your skin will, too!</em></p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Beauty Tip:</h3>
<p>If you can tolerate doing without food for a couple of days, experiment with a cleansing juice fast. It’s a great way to detox from all the chemicals we come in contact with each day and unearth our natural beauty.</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>There is only one bottled juice I&#8217;ll drink.</strong> I don&#8217;t use it as a primary juice for a juice fasting cleanse, though. I&#8217;ll tell more about this mystery juice later, in an upcoming post. I adore it, highly recommend it, but it deserves it&#8217;s very own post. So, it must wait.</p>
<p><strong>A few things I don&#8217;t like about store-bought juices:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>they&#8217;re processed</li>
<li>they contain sugar and/or artificial sweeteners</li>
<li>they contain additives, preservatives, etc.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>My opinion of store-bought juices? You may as well drink a soda or fattening latte! <img src='http://healingwithjuices.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why does a juice fasting cleanse require real, raw juices? </strong>Because the nutrients are &#8220;alive&#8221; in fruits and veggies you juice yourself. The ideal situation would be where you grew the produce yourself (organically, of course) and juiced it as soon as you plucked it. I realize that isn&#8217;t an option for many, so the second best option is buying locally (organic, if at all possible). If you can <em>only </em>get produce from the grocery store that is NOT organic, you should at least soak it in a water bath with a splash of organic vinegar for a good, thorough washing.</p>
<p><strong>Why should you drink the (raw) juice as soon as you juice it?</strong> Again, because the nutrients are &#8220;alive&#8221; and the longer you wait to drink the juice, the less &#8220;live&#8221; nutrients you&#8217;re actually getting. There are times (like if you&#8217;re doing a cleanse during the work week and you work outside the home) you simply can&#8217;t juice the produce and drink it right away. During a time like that, you can compromise by juicing whatever recipes you decide you like or want to try and then filling small or medium canning jars to the very top with the liquid. Put the lids on tight and try to drink within a day or two max. It&#8217;s much better for you to drink the juice this way than none at all.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll be honest, juice fasting is a lot of hard work. </strong>You have to take special care and pay attention to the type of produce you&#8217;re buying or growing to assure it&#8217;s organic and safe to consume. And you have to bring home all the produce, wash and prepare it, juice it, clean up the mess, and start at the beginning and repeat. But the rewards are so amazing. You&#8217;ll fall in love with the sense of peace, calm, health, satisfaction, pride, mental clarity&#8230; It&#8217;s so wonderful to be able to enjoy a juice fasting cleanse. The body is a wonderful thing. It has the ability to heal itself, if we&#8217;ll only let it and help it along.</p>
<p><strong>Sure, it may be easier to grab a bottle of juice off the store shelf, go home, and pour it in a glass.</strong> The easiest way isn&#8217;t always the best way, though. Remember the old adage: <em>Anything worth having is worth working for</em>? It rings true today as well. If you&#8217;re searching for improved health, a better quality of life, and you&#8217;re sick and tired of being sick and tired, what do you have to lose? Work hard to be healthy and your body will thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Have you tried a juice fasting cleanse? Are you prepared to work hard so you can live a long, healthy life? In the end, sometimes we just have to dig deep and go for it. I always juice fruits and veggies myself using my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=juice%20machine&amp;tag=healingwithjuices-20&amp;index=blended&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Jack LaLanne Juicer</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healingwithjuices-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Today&#8217;s post is just a summary but I&#8217;m working on a series about juice fasting &#8211; including delicious recipes</em>! So, be sure to subscribe to my <a title="feed via RSS" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/HealingWithrawJuices" target="_blank">feed via RSS</a> or <a title="E-mail" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" target="_blank">E-mail</a>, so you won&#8217;t miss even one of the updates.</p>
<p><strong>I came across this video and wanted to share it with my readers.</strong> A healthy gut and colon are crucial for a long, healthy life. If you&#8217;ve eaten a lot of processed meat, a juice fast is a great idea. It will help to cleanse your organs, colon, and give your digestion a much-needed rest. It&#8217;s also a very &#8220;zen&#8221; experience.</p>
<p><strong>In the upcoming juice fasting series I&#8217;ll talk about a few different topics including:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>how you&#8217;ll feel those first few days</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>what to expect during the process</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>recipes to target the different organs, for energy, and even to move the bowels</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>how your body can heal itself during a juice fast</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>and lots more!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Take a look at this video first, though, and be thinking about what&#8217;s really important in life. </strong>Would you rather continue eating unhealthy, processed meats and other foods (and feeling the brain fog, stiffness all over, and suffering from constipation or diarrhea), or would you like to take hold of the reins and steer yourself toward a vibrant, nutritious, and long life? It&#8217;s the question I asked myself when I began my journey. I&#8217;ve now lost over 100 pounds and that&#8217;s only a small piece of the big ole rewards I&#8217;m reaping.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m going to share everything about my own juice fasting journey, including how my bladder and colon were healed, in my upcoming ebook. </strong>Once it&#8217;s ready, I&#8217;ll have it for sale on this site. I&#8217;m taking suggestions for the content, so if you have any questions you&#8217;d love to have the answers to regarding juice fasting, juice or smoothie recipes, or anything related to the topic, <a title="drop me a line" href="http://healingwithjuices.com/contact/" target="_blank">drop me a line</a>, and I&#8217;ll consider incorporating your ideas.</p>
