Cold Press Juices
At the mention of “Juice Fast”, one often thinks of weight loss. But juice fasting is really about HEALING, weight loss will follow. Find out your “why” and you will appreciate the tremendous benefits of juice fasting that follows.
While juicing leaves out the fiber it is always beneficial to allow your digestive system to rest, and for your body to heal. The energy saved by not having to digest the fiber is used for deep tissue cleansing that goes on in the body during this time.
The fresh fruit/vegetable juices we drink contain the necessary nutrients to help repair the damaged cells, heal and nourish. The human bodies are meant to run on “fuel” from plant foods as they are “live” foods that are rich with enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants. These, when extracted properly, are being assimilated by our cells for nourishment.
When our cells receive superior foods, the inferior stuff (toxins) will have to make way for them, thus are being eliminated (detoxify).
