Juice Feast PREP, Saturday - May 30th, 2009

Hi all,

Here are some overall thoughts and suggestions.
The next posts are the recipes for the week.

The difference between juicing and having a smoothie is that the fiber is taken out. This is one major point and benefit to juicing. Taking the fiber out allows the digestive system to relax, the nutrients/enzymes to be absorbed quickly into the body and it allows the colon to relax and slough off unwanted debris hanging on.

The colon is SUPER important because this is where 60% or more of water and nutrients are absorbed for the body. It sounds odd but it is true. When the colon gets bogged down then we don't absorb as much good stuff. Additionally, beer-belly's are known as toxic build-up in the raw communities. This is your body's effort to move the toxins away from your vital organs. As your colon clears out and things start moving better often times you will notice a nice decrease in the belly area. :)

Sometime during your 7-day juice-feast you may experience a lot of bowel movements or diarrhea or something different than "normal". If this happens, and you are concerned, post your questions or contact me.

Drinking enough water is important while juicing! Many folks forget about the water because of all the juice so I am reminding you of this. :) Drink your water.

Pink Himalayan salt is excellent as a mineral supplement during the juice-feast and for a long time after. You can sprinkle some in your juice and/or your water.

Blue/Green algae is an excellent support to pour a bit into your juice in the morning. The best is E3Live. There is a link in the right column of the blog. Some of you may have an awesome natural food store around you that may carry it. This is not necessary though.

Water and pink himalayan salt are my number 1 and 2 things for this week for you. :)
