A 24-hour juice fast will give your body a chance to rest some of it's systems and focus for a time on cleaning and repairing your internal organs.  On a one-day fast your body can temperarily forget about digesting food and storing toxins, and instead it can concentrate on cleansing itself and getting rid of chemicals and replacing damaged or diseased tissue.  During a fast, energy that would normally be used for processing food is used for repair instead.

 

When doing a juice fast you absorb up to 99% of the nutritional value of the produce...this is more than if you were to eat the produce like you normally would do.  It is also better to do a juice fast than a water fast because during the juice fast your body's eliminative and detoxifying capacity is increased and healing processes are speeded up and you feel less deprived. Fresh juices are also loaded with all kinds of healthy ingredients: antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, natural antibiotics, anti-inflammatory substances that protect your body's cells as well as reduce pain.  Juices even contain enzymes that can improve your digestion and cure some intestioal diseases.
