Juice fasting is one of the many methods in body detoxification that involves drinking vegetable and fruit juices. However, when a person is on juice fasting, it is important to abstain from certain foods, which in this case, are cooked food and animal products. Examples of these food products are white flour, refined sugar and other processed foods. Red meat, poultry, fish and eggs should also be removed from your diet. Honey is only the exemption from the animal product category because it can be used for sweetening. The undergoing of juice fasting as a body detox program usually requires three to seven days but this can last up to three weeks or more. Even though there is no intake of solid food during juice fasting, the diet can already provide you with vitamins, nutrients, minerals and enzymes, essential for the proper and excellent functioning of the body. In fact, even with juice fasting you can still feel energized. In spite of this, a person should not undertake juice fasting on a regular workweek because the stress and activities from work may be too arduous for this kind of diet. During a vacation can be the best time for this body detox program.
