How Do Water and Juice Fasting Differ?
By: Foras Aje
Although they are more or less both highly effective forms of
fasting, water and juice fasting do have their slight differences.
Consequently, they both should be approached with preparation for
each type for optimal success.
Though fasting is by far a greater cure of our ills-both physical
and mental-than all of the drugs of the medical fraternity
combined, for weight loss or for anything it may be used for, one
has to be aware of certain criteria to achieve success with its
use.
These include the types of fasts one can use, how long to fast,
when to fast and how to come off of a fast.
During a water fast, only water is consumed. During a juice fast,
any variety of fruit and vegetable juices are consumed.
People detoxify and heal more quickly with a water fast than with a
juice fast.
This is because with a water fasting program, your digestive
passageway and organs are able to rest completely, allowing for all
of your energy to be used for cleansing and repair of damaged
tissues.
With a juice fast or a cleansing diet of fruits and vegetables,
your body must use energy to digest nutrients, leaving less
available energy for detoxification and healing.
Another significant difference is that more fat tissue is burned
during a water fasting program, as your body must rely exclusively
on fat reserves to supply its energy needs after the first 1-3 days
of water fasting.
Furthermore, a water fasting program is most effective when you are
able to get a lot of physical and emotional rest. If your life
circumstances don't allow this, juice fasting is a better
choice.
Nonetheless, to make a juice fast almost (or if not more effective)
you could try these tips.
-Masticate the juice as thoroughly as possible.
-Have brief 2-3 second pauses between each gulp of juice.
-Try not to drink more than 2 quarts of juice and its best to drink
it all at one time, preferably in the morning so an hour or so
afterwards, the stomach is empty and consequently resting.
Well, here are the benefits and differences outlined for you, all
in all, I cant say to much of the importance of the occasional fast
except once you try it successfully, you will see why it is so
highly esteemed.
