Much like myself, she travels around the world teaching, speaking, and works in natural medicine. I have embraced other practitioners lets discover what Diana has to say about this trending way of life.

Let’s discover what Dr. Diana Gorbena has to say about this trending way of life.

What are the benefits to Juice Fast?

There are several benefits to juice fasting several days in a row. It helps eliminate toxins, curb addictions to sugar, salt, caffeine, junk food, Fasting, being still, and prayer have an amazing power to influence your body, mind, and spirit positively.

According to many holistic doctors, our internal body passages are lined with mucous, which is a protective barrier between our sensitive cells and the “outside” world. Our air passages and our digestive tract are really considered “external” to our bodies. The consistency and thickness of this coating vary. When we are healthy, the mucous remains as a thin protective barrier. Chronic conditions can leave behind a buildup of mucous, which clogs our system, acting as a trap for the waste products, such as dead cells, that would normally pass through our system.

Juice fasting eliminates the usual mucous forming foods from our diet, such as refined flour, sugar, caffeine, or any intoxicant, and stimulates the digestive tract to be normally active, further reducing the presence of the irritating substances and the excess mucus that results. Moreover, juice fasting removes the excess mucous, dead cells and other entrapped foreign material, and also supplies an abundant supply of nutrients which the body immediately utilizes to heal.

Raw juices are extremely rich in alkaline elements, and this is highly beneficial in normalizing acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues. The juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables require no digestion, and almost all their vital nutrients are assimilated directly into the bloodstream.

How do you suggest one to Juice Fast?

I suggest starting a juice fast on a Friday, allowing you to take time to be still and watch your mind. It is amazing how we react without poisonous foods in our system and how many times we eat out of boredom, anger, or other emotions. I usually tell my clients that the first three days are the most difficult ones because your body is getting rid of toxins. Although you may experience headaches or nausea, hang in there and remember that you are detoxifying.

If you are planning to quit coffee or cigarettes during a juice fast, I suggest that you start reducing your intake of these days prior to your fasting so you don’t go cold turkey. The key is to learn to be gentle with yourself and others, right?

When I start a juice fast, I go to the store and I buy enough supplies to stay at home for five to seven days. You will notice that it is easier if you take it as a retreat and go inwards without dealing with the outside world. But, if you have an office job, you can try doing a one-day fast on a Saturday, or a weekend fast. It is up to you.

Many people who work make their juices and take them to their jobs. I prefer to juice and drink it right away. Again, be flexible with your lifestyle and your schedule. This is meant to help you and not stress you out!

You will need:

• Juicer
• carrots
• apples
• lemons
• kale

You will want to juice six carrots, one apple, some kale and one lemon. You can make this delicious cocktail and drink it every two to three hours. You will want to drink it right away, making sure that you do not eat the pulp because it will make you hungry later.

If this is the first time that you are juice fasting, and you get hungry at night, you may want to eat a raw salad with just lemon (no salt or dressing). You can continue to juice fast the next day.

Make sure that you drink plenty of water and that when you shower that you exfoliate your skin.

It is suggested to juice at every change of the season for three days to keep your body balanced. You can also juice at the first flu symptom to help you get rid of the illness-causing mucous from the root.

Please consult with your doctor before starting any diet modifications.
