Drinking Juice is a great way to get healthy, because you are consuming natural vitamins in a way that allows your body to absorb them easily. The antioxidants that are in abundance in fruit and vegetables combat oxidative stress which is now believed to be the cause of a number of degenerative diseases including many forms of cancer.
But when you start changing your diet and consuming fresh fruits and vegetables, you will experience changes, some of them not pleasant. You will particularly notice this when you stop taking regular stimulants such as coffee, tea and chocolate – You may even find that you get headaches or migraines. This is because your body will discard toxins like caffeine or theobromine from your tissues and as these toxins travel through your bloodstream, they will register as pain, including headaches, joint pains, or even the weakening of limbs.
Fruit juice can also cause a rapid rise in blood sugar which is not a problem for a healthy person, as the sugars in fruits are easily assimilated and digested. But if you are prone to suffer from candidiasis or thrush, it may be better to start slowly and focus on vegetable juices rather than fruit.
The important thing is not to give up. Your body is going through a regeneration process, which will take on average seven to fourteen days to complete, depending on the toxicity level in your body.
And if you haven’t already done so, get a good juicer or juice fountain – even an industrial juicer. Don’t settle for a K-Mart cheapie, this is going to be the most important appliance in your home.
This is the journey to a healthier new you with more energy and a chance to live a healthy, fulfilling life, free of the shackles of disease. But to coin an old saying: “There is no gain without the pain”.
