(NaturalNews) Juice fasting is a powerful detoxification method and an easy way to lose weight quickly. With juice fasting, you'll consume considerable nutrition through freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, but forgo any solid foods. Juice fasting is a powerful detoxification method because when your body isn't digesting food, your body can divert its extra energy to cleansing itself and eliminating old, unneeded tissue.
Most people don't know it, but our bodies use considerable amounts of energy just to digest our daily meals. It's estimated that up to thirty percent of all of the energy a person produces each day is used to digest food. Common meat and carbohydrate heavy meals require considerably more energy to digest than meals consisting primarily of fruits and vegetables.
In addition to giving your body considerable stores of energy to cleanse and heal itself, juice fasting can be a very easy way to lose weight quickly. In fact, if you have weight to lose, you'll find pounds and inches melt off in just a few days. It's not uncommon to lose 10 pounds with a week of juice fasting, if you have weight to lose. However, if you're already lean you simply won't lose much weight. It's amazing how intelligent our bodies are when we return to natural methods.
Juice fasting is beneficial for weight loss because your liver, your prime detoxification organ, is also your prime fat burning organ. So when you detoxify your body, you are freeing up your liver's resources to burn fat. However, when your body is overwhelmed with the need to detoxify itself, which is common these days, your liver will have a difficult time getting around to burning fat.
Our bodies are designed to fast occasionally. Many studies have shown that reduced caloric intake leads to health and longer life. A 1930's study from the University of Chicago found that worms who fasted regularly lived 19 generations longer than their non-fasting and regularly fed relatives. In human terms that's equivalent to having a 600-700 year life expectancy. Interestingly, that's about the same life expectancy quoted in the Bible for humans when human life began on earth.
In fact, it's likely that when humans were first around fasting was a regular occurrence simply due to the lack of established food production and distribution systems. At that time the things we regularly poison ourselves with (pesticides, chemical drugs, hormones in foods, plastics, vaccines, and virtually all man-made chemicals) weren't in existence either. Today, many of these poisons are difficult to avoid and it's challenging to even understand what our potential could be since most of us consume poisons with each meal, glass of water and breath - and have been since day one.
Understanding Fasting and DetoxificationEspecially if you're new to cleansing and detoxification, you may experience detoxification symptoms when juice fasting. This can mean you might have headaches, nausea, or feel a bit out of it. It's important to understand that this is part of the detoxification process, and simply how people feel when they have large amounts of toxins and poisons in their bloodstream. However, to remove those poisons from your body they'll need to temporarily be in your bloodstream before they can exit, which is the reason you might feel a bit badly. In any case, it's important to know what's going on.
To help ease detoxification symptoms and really detoxify your body, colon cleansing and liver cleansing (with coffee enemas) work wonders when combined with fasting. These methods will help you remove more gunk than you can imagine and they'll help you feel better while cleansing too.

Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of
Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse.
Cleaning Up! offers deep cleansing and using methods in this book, people have gotten rid of dozens of different types of health problems, as well as just losing excess weight, thinking more clearly, and feeling better.
Kim's next book chronicles events in her life that happen to match patterns in the Bible. She's also found three places in the Bible that tell us its about these patterns and even asking you to match them.
Here's a little from the upcoming book...
In Isaiah 22:20, it says, "And it must occur in that day that I will call my servant, namely Elia
kim." But, because these prophecies are cryptic and they aren't meant to be understood until they are understood, it's only the last three letters.
A few lines later, it says, "From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them."
Here, you just take out any three middle letters, and again, it's the name of the person bringing you this message, or the sacred secret of the prophecy. Actually, if you take those two passages, Kim is about the only name you can get from both of them.
In Numbers 1:1 – 1:18, it's talking about "the family" and mentions Pagiel. It also twice mentions February 1st, (Kim's birthday) and then says that the youngest is 20 years old. Kim's little sister Paige is currently 20 years old.
In Chronicles 1 11:20 it mentions the brother of Joab and then in the same sentence uses the word brandishing. Kim's middle name is Jo and her older sister's name is Brandi. There are other patterns to her sisters too but these sort of mention them by name.
Of course, it helps if you know that there is a magical spiritual reality available that comes deep cleansing and often major dietary upgrades. It's also why Jesus was teaching the same thing, if you find his teachings in the Essene Gospel of Peace. In this text, he even says things like, "You'll never see the father unless you clean your colon." But, this is paraphrased...
In the Bible Jesus says things more like, happy are those who wash their robes, as they can enter the tree of life. The tree of life is elsewhere explained as God's paradise. He also said, first clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will also be clean.
