Beginning October 17, 2009 a group of brave souls will embark on the adventure of ten days of drinking only fresh juices in quantities that will provide their bodies with nutrients in the form of vitamins, minerals, proteins, oxygen and energy that will have their trillions of cells jumping for joy.
A juice feast is very different from a juice fast which most of us may have heard of. A juice fast is what was done years ago and only focused on restricting caloric intake by having individuals drink limited amounts of juice daily, usually about five cups a day without much else to nourish the body all day. A juice feast however, has individuals drinking upwards of four litres of green and multicoloured nutrient rich juices with added superfoods (see FAQ) or about sixteen cups daily of refreshing nourishing liquid to detox, rejuvenate and revitalize the body.
The process of juice feasting prepares the body for repairing itself as it takes in nutrients from the juices. At this time the body no longer has to work hard to digest heavier meals, thereby it doesn't have to use excess energy to empty the digestive tract. When the body has additional usable energy it gets busy repairing the organs and body systems while working on balancing and harmonizing itself. During or immediately after a juice feast many people find that aches, pains, extra weight, headaches and plain old lethargy dissappear.
If you think you want to try something like this, and have checked with your primary caregiver or alternative health provider that you'll be in the clear to join us and want the support of doing it in a group join in, grab your fruits, veggies, juicers and the will to take bettter care of yourself.....if you don't have a juicer there are ways to do this with a blender, it takes a bit more time and work but if you get through this time, it you'll end up getting a juicer for next time :o)
For the people who have questions, a FAQ page will be posted and if your questions are not answered in that page, you can email me to your heart's content to get the answers you need. I will do either a video post or a written post to answer questions as we go through the journey.
