Juice Fasting Pt 8 - Keys to Good Nutrition with Uri Feast & Tips to Eating Healthy

MAKE YOUR OWN JUICE FASTING VEGETABLE BROTH

In all biological clinics in Europe, vegetable broth is a standard beverage during juice fasting. All fasting patients drink a large glass of healthy vegetable broth every morning and every evening before going to sleep.

What's so great about vegetable broth?

Vegetable broth is an alkalizing and cleansing beverage that supplies a lot of minerals and vitamins, which are so important establishing and normalizing a proper chemical balance in the tissues during juice fasting. Vegetable broth is especially rich in the mineral potassium, which is of very useful and effective in the treating of various illness such as arthritis.

VEGETABLE BROTH RECIPE

2 large potatoes, unpeeled, chopped, or sliced to one half inch pieces
1 cup beets, sliced or shredded
1 cup carrots, sliced or shredded
1 cup celery, with leaves, chopped to one half inch pieces
Optional: 1 cup any other available vegetables (turnips, turnip tops, beet tops, parsley, cabbage, or a little bit of everything on hand and in season)

Cook vegetables in an earthenware, enameled, or stainless steel pot.

Fill up the pot with ONE AND A HALF QUARTS OF WATER and slice the vegetables straight into the water to prevent them from oxidizing.

Cover and cook the vegetables slowly for at least half an hour.

Then let them stand for another half hour, strain out the vegetables, cool until warm, and then serve.

If you don't use the vegetable broth immediately, store in refrigerator. Remember to warm it up before serving it again.

In addition to drinking fresh fruit juices during your juice fast, be sure to make a batch of fresh homemade vegetable broth to provide your body with the minerals and vitamins you need while fasting and that will help alkalanize your system and bring your body chemistry into balance.

Juice Fasting Pt 7 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

What to DRINK during your Juice Fast

JUICES

The best kind of juice to drink during your juice fast is fresh, live home-made juice. If you have a juicer, you can make your own fresh juice just before drinking it. Do NOT drink pasteurized, processed, preserved bottled or canned juices that are found in the supermarket. These juices are dead, are often loaded with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and are very unhealthy for you. Do NOT drink these because they are dead juices.

There are several good books out there that have recipes for juicing and juice fasting.

Drink juices made from fresh fruits, berries, greens, and vegetables.

The fruit juices most frequently used during juice fasts are: apple, orange, grapefruit, lemon, grapes, pineapple, and pear.

Here are some recommended vegetable juices: carrot, beets, celery, cabbage, as well as green juice (chlorophyll drink) made from green leaves of alfalfa, wheat grass, comfrey, carrot tops, beet tops, and/or other available edible greens.

If you don't have a juicer, you can do what I do, which is to mix up a large glass of The Feast, by Uri International. The Feast is a live whole food based InstaFresh super juice powdered mix that has over 30 fresh fruits and berries and 30 fresh greens and vegetables in it. It is not pasteurized and has no sugar or artificial sweeteners in it. It is a very convenient way to drink your fresh live whole food fruits, berries, greens, and vegetables during your juice fast. At the bottom of this posting is a link for more information about the Feast and how you can order some.

It is usually best to dilute your fresh fruit and vegetable juices with water about 50%-50%.

NATURAL SPRING WATER

In addition to drinking fresh juices, you can also drink plenty of natural spring water or artesian well water. Do NOT drink tap water or bottled water that is made from tap water because of all of the harmful chemicals and toxins.

FRESH MADE VEGETABLE BROTH

In my next posting I'll teach you how to make a VEGETABLE BROTH, which is another thing you can drink while doing a juice fast.

Juice Fasting Pt 4 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

JUICE FASTING VS.

WATER FASTING?

WHICH IS BETTER?

In seeking to answer this question, let's begin by referring to some of the world's best fasting authorities.

WHAT THE WORLD'S FASTING AUTHORITIES SAY

Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger, who has probably supervised more fasts than any other doctor in the world, approximately 80,000+ fasts, uses only juice fasting. In his vast experience, he found that fasting on RAW fruit and vegetable juices, plus vegetable broths and herb teas, resulted in much quicker recovery from illness and more effective cleansing and rejuvenation of the cells and tissues, as compared with traditional water fasting.

Dr. Paavo Airola, who supervised both types of fasting, was thoroughly convinced that juice fasting was far superior to water fasting. He stated that although American practitioners and clinics generally specialize in the antiquated water fast method, that practically all European clinics now use juice fasting exclusively.

Dr. Ragnar Berg, perhaps the world's greatest authority on nutrition and biochemisty, said the following about the superiority of juice fasting over water fasting:

"During fasting the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of accumulated wastes. We can help this cleansing process by drinking alkaline juices instead of water while fasting. I have supervised many fasts and made extensive tests of fasting patients, and I am convinced that drinking alkaline-forming fruit and vegetable juices, instead of water, during fasting will increase the healing effect of fasting. Elimination of uric acid and other inorganic acids will be accelerated. And sugars in juices will strengthen the heart....Juice fasting is therefore the best form of fasting."

8 REASONS WHY JUICE FASTING IS BETTER than Water Fasting

Raw juice fasting is best when you are fasting for cleansing, regeneration, and rejuvenation purposes. Juice fasting will help to revitalize your active cells, will help to break down and dispose of your aging and dying cells, and will help to accelerate the new building of vital cells. The following physiological facts provide the medical justification for the superiority of juice fasting as opposed to water fasting.

1. Raw fruit and vegetable juices and freshly made vegetable broths are rich in enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and trace elements.

2. These vital nutrients are easily assimilated directly into the bloodstream, without straining the digestive system. In this way they do not disrupt or block the healing and rejuvenating process of self-digestion, or autolysis, as suggested by some water fast supporters.

3. These vital nutrients are extremely beneficial in normalizing all of the body's processes, supplying needed elements for the body's healing activity and cell regeneration, thereby speeding up recovery.

4. Vegetable broths and raw juices provide an alkaline surplus, which is vitally important for the proper acid-alkaline balance in the tissues and blood, since blood and tissues contain large amounts of acids during fasting.

5. Raw juices, and particularly fresh vegetable broth, provides generous amounts of minerals which help to restore the mineral and biochemical balance in the cells and tissues. This is important because mineral imbalance in the cells is one of the main causes of diminished oxygenation, which leads to the premature aging of cells and to illness.

6. According to Dr. Ralph Bircher, raw juices contain a factor which stimulates what he calls a micro-electric tension in the body, which is responsible for the cell's ability to absorb nutrients from the bloodstream and efficiently expel metabolic wastes.

7. Contrary to what some people believe, raw fruit and vegetable juices and vegetable broth do NOT stimulate the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can produce ulcers. It is mainly when protein-rich foods are consumed that hydrochloric acid is secreted.

8. Juice fasting also enables most people to continue with their normal work. Of course, there are exceptions such as jobs that require a high level of concentration. However, for most people, the energy in the raw juices and fresh vegetable broth makes it possible for them to continue working and fulfilling their family responsibilities. This is not necessarily the case with water only fasting.

In conclusion, juice fasting is far superior to water fasting.
