What Is A Juice Cleanse?
A juice cleanse is a type of fasting. It is a great way to eliminate offensive foods from our system and relax the body’s irritated and inflamed mucous membranes, calming the intestinal tract.
Juice fasting is a form of fasting in which living-food juice supplies enzymes that further aid the cleaning process. Juice fasts are safe and tend to have fewer “healing crises” [The process of healing sometimes includes a healing crisis, also known as the detox reaction, a cleansing reaction.]
At Longevity Lab we call it a juice feast rather than a juice fast! Since juices are high in minerals, vitamins and live enzymes which help with the rejuvenation process of the body. The juices are assimilated directly into the body without stimulating the digestive system. The alkalising properties of the juices help to neutralise the acid condition from which many suffer, as well as the toxins being released by the body.
Our juice cleanses are designed to flood the body with nutrients, vitamins, minerals whilst abstaining from solid food. The digestive system gets a rest and after the cleanse the body, which is highly developed and specially designed for eliminating harmful toxins, can work again like a well-oiled machine and is more able to rid itself of accumulated toxins
“During a fast, digestive enzymes are relieved from their digestive role and mobilised for cleansing and rejuvenation of the body. Fasting works rapidly on removing dead and dying cells and toxins, it also stimulates the building of new cells. Aging occurs when more cells die than being built. ‘Youthing’ happens when more new cells are produced than dying. New cells mean new energy. After a cleanse you experience more energy, your senses get sharper, food tastes better, sleep improves, skin starts glowing. Detox cleansing done in the right way can be a very transformative experience for the body and the mind”. – Dr. Gabriel Cousens MD
