The trend couldn’t come at a better time. Recently, the National Cancer Institute began a campaign to get people to do one simple thing – EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Specifically, the recommendation was to eat five servings
of fruit and three servings of vegetables a day, and their reasoning was simple:
a diet high in fruits and vegetables will prevent or cure a wide range of ailments.
Many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a result of poor food choices over many years. This limits our bodies ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables and juicing tends to facilitate this absorption. Also, vegetable juicing allows you to eat more of the vegetables than you normally would otherwise. By incorporating the juice into your healing diet you will easily be able to reach the roughly one pound of raw vegetables per fifty pounds of body weight that is generally recommended we should eat every day.
Consuming nothing but fresh, diluted juices from various fruits and vegetables for a day or more is a safe and helpful form of fasting. I believe that juice fasting actually works better than a straight water fast, because it helps to eliminate wastes, old or dead cells while building new tissues with the easily accessible nutrients from the juices. The more drastic water fast is the more intense, often resulting in more sickness and less energy, than fasting with fruit and vegetable juices.
Breast cancer, cancer of the colon, esophagus, stomach, lungs ovaries, and rectum – pick and ailment these days, it seems, and researchers somewhere are searching for chemicals in plants that will prevent them, or offer a cure. These plant chemicals, known as phytochemicals, are the cutting edge of nutritional research because they hold the keys to preventing some of our most deadly diseases, such as a cancer and heart disease, as well as some of our most common, like asthma, arthritis, and allergies.
