Stevia Sweetener - Keys to Good Nutrition & to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast Yuri

Enjoy STEVIA
the World's Healthiest Natural Sweetener

in the Feast by Uri (Yuri) International

Stevia drops (2 drops = 1 tsp sugar) from a South African plant, helps regulate blood sugar and lowers blood pressure, but it doesn't affect normal blood pressure.

Calorie-free Stevia is suitable for diabetics, safe for children, and doesn't cause cavities.

Stevia helps mental alertness, combats fatigue, and improves digestion.

Here's a great article that I found at http://www.stevia.com/

"Stevia - A Better Alternative to Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners," by Lisa Jobs.

The Feast, by Uri International (Yuri), is sweetened by fruits and berries, but it also has a little bit of Stevia in it. I encourage you to try the Feast and see for yourself how good it tastes! And remember to reject every product that has artificial sweeteners in it such as NutraSweet, Aspartame, Splenda, saccharin, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, sucralose, Sweet-N-Low, Equal, etc. All of these artificial sweeteners are destructive to your health no matter what the advertising says or the FDA. Avoid them at all costs. The healthiest natural sweeteners are unheated unprocessed honey, stevia, and organic agave nectar.

A FEW MORE FAMOUS QUOTES
ON JUICE FASTING

I'd like to share with you a few more quotes on fasting that will inspire and motivate you to get started with the joy of juice fasting.

These quotes were gleaned from a great website that I would also like to recommend you visit.

http://www.fasting.com/

"Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside."--Albert Schweitzer, M.D., 1875-1965, Alsatian medical missionary, theologian and musician

"Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness."--Hippocrates, M.D., 460-377 B.C., Father of Western Medicine

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."--Thomas Edison, 1847-1931, America's greatest inventive mind (patented 1093: light bulb, phonograph, microphone, carbon telephone transmitter, motion-picture camera, et. al.)

"Fasting and natural diet, though essentially unknown [in today's U.S.] as a therapy, should be the first treatment when someone discovers that she or he has a medical problem. It should not be applied only to the most advanced cases, as is present practice. Whether the patient has a cardiac condition, hypertension, autoimmune disease, fibroids, or asthma, he or she must be informed that fasting and natural, plant-based diets are a viable alternative to conventional therapy, and an effective one. The time may come when not offering this substantially more effective nutritional approach will be considered malpractice."--Joel Fuhrman, M.D., from his book, Fasting And Eating For Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease

"A wise person should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings." --Hippocrates, 400 years before Christ; famed Greek physician and Father of Western Medicine

"Fasting is the greatest remedy--the physician within!"--Philippus Paracelsus, nearly 500 years ago; famed Swiss physician, considered one of three fathers of Western Medicine, along with Greece's Hippocrates and Galen

Juice Fasting Pt 11 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy with Uri Feast Yuri

I'd like to share with you some of the benefits of fasting as described by Patricia and Paul Bragg in their book, "Bragg Miracle of Fasting Book." This is a good book for you to read and have on hand during your juice fasting. Keep in mind that juice fasting, or what I like to call "juice feasting," is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body.

Don't be a Slave to Foods

"Most humans are slaves to foods; they must have breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular meal hours every day, year in and year out. They eat whether they are hungry or not, and their poor bodies are burdened by overeating . . . and usually poor nutrition as well! No wonder we have so many physical wrecks! One of the greatest nutritional teachers in the world, Professor Arnold Ehret, said, 'Life is a tragedy of nutrition.' How true is the old trite saying, 'Man digs his grave with his knife and fork!' Many people never give their stomachs a rest. They continually stuff and work the digestive and eliminative functions with an overabundance of food. This excessive burden means that the functions of digestion and elimination become so overworked and so exhausted that they simply collapse. The entire body then becomes enervated! Millions suffer from fatigue. Old age is not a time of life. It is a condition of the body. It is not time that ages the body, it is abuse that does." – Herbert Shelton

Juice Fasting Pt 10 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

PART 10 OF JUICE FASTING

Today I'd like to share some powerful quotes by juice fasting authorities that I believe will help inspire and motivate you to make juice fasting a regular part of your life.

"Fasting is the greatest remedy - the physician within." - Paracelsus

"Fasting is simply wonderful. It's my solution to any health problems. It can practically cure anything. Fasting is a miracle cure; it cured my years of asthma!" - Actress Cloris Leachman

"Fasting is mother nature and God's miracle - it cleanses, renews, and rejuvenates!" - Bragg

"Fasting is cleansing, purifying, and restful." - Meir Schneider

"I humbled my soul with fasting." - Psalm 69:10

"Fasting is an ancient natural healing practice that should be applied more today - It's safe, practical, and very affordable." - Dr. Michael Klaper

"The nation badly needs to go on a diet. It should do something drastic about excessive, unattractive, life-threatening fat. It should get rid of it in the quickest possible way and this is by fasting!" - Dr. Allan Cott

"Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen, Paracelsus, Plato, Socrates, and other great philosophers, scientists, and physicians for centuries have used fasting as a method of cleansing, healing, and renewing the body, mind, and soul." - Paul Bragg

"Fasting is a technique wise men have used for centuries to heal the sick. Fast regularly and help the body heal itself and stay well. Give all of your organs a rest. Fasting can help reverse the ageing process, and if we use it correctly, we will live longer, happier lives. Just three days a month will do it. Each time you complete a fast, you will feel better. Your body will have a chance to heal and rebuild its immune system by regular fasting. You can fight off illness and the degenerative diseases so common in this chemically polluted environment we live in. When you feel a cold, illness or depression or allergy attack coming on, fast!" - Dr. James Balch

"Given appropriate and essential conditions of the environment, including proper care of the body...Eternal youth, in fact, can be a reality in living forms! It's been found to be possible by repeated processes of fasting, to keep a worm alive 20 times longer than it would have lived regularly. This has also been proven with animals." - Professor A.E. Crews of Edinburgh University

Juice Fasting Pt 9 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

HOW TO BREAK OR END A JUICE FAST

I'd like to share some juice fasting tips today on how to break your fast as I near the end of this series on juice fasting.

Breaking a juice fast is the most important phase of the whole fast because the beneficial effects of juice fasting can be totally undone if you break it incorrectly and unwisely.

"Even a fool can fast, but only a wise man knows how to break the fast properly and to build up properly after the fast!" - Dr. Otto F.H. Buchinger

Tip # 1 - DO NOT OVEREAT!

After disciplining yourself to fast, don't blow it by overeating the moment your fast ends. This is the first and most important rule regarding fasting, and it also happens to be the first and most important rule of healthy eating and longevity.

Tip # 2 - CHEW YOUR FOOD VERY WELL AND EAT SLOWLY

You'd be surprise to find out how many people eat their food in a hurry and don't really chew their food well enough. Chewing is a very important step in the digestion process, and if you skip it, you put an added strain on your stomach and digestive system. Chewing your food extremely well is all the more critical when you break your fast. Your stomach needs all the help it can get from you as it adjusts to food again, and the best way that you can help it is by eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly for digestion purposes.

Tip # 3 - GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO A NORMAL DIET OVER SEVERAL DAYS

According to Dr. Paavo Airola, "In order to benefit from fasting to the greatest possible extent, it is of paramount importance that after fasting a build-up diet of vital natural foods be maintained....Such a diet will supply the healing and regenerative forces of your body with all the needed elements, so that the cleansing, regenerative, rejuvenative, and healing processes initiated by the body during fasting can be continued."

Make sure that your build-up diet is made up of organic natural live whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, greens, raw or sprouted whole grains, seeds, and nuts.

Here is a suggested eating schedule after breaking a juice fast.

Day One - Eat a whole apple in the morning (slowly), a very small bowl of raw vegetable salad for lunch, and continue to drink your usual vegetable broth and fruit and vegetable juices.

Day Two - Soaked figs or prunes, with the soaking water, for breakfast; a small bowl of raw vegetable salad for lunch; vegetable soup for dinner (made without salt); two apples can be eaten between meals; and continue to drink your usual juices and broth.

Day Three - Same as Day two, but add a few raw nuts and a small glass of yogurt for breakfast. Increase the size of your salad for lunch, and add a boiled or baked potato. In the evening, have fresh soup with a slice of whole-grain bread with butter and cheese.

Day Four - Start eating normally, but try to stick to a very healthy whole food diet, avoiding processed foods and sugars.

* If your juice fast lasted more than 10 days, the break-in period should be extended one day for every 4 days of fasting. For example, if you fasted for 14 days, then your break-in period should be four days instead of three.

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 6 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

HOW TO TAKE AN ENEMA WHILE JUICE FASTING

First, you'll have to go to a drug store to buy a simple enema kit (enema bag with a rubber hose and a nozzle).

Second, fill the enema bag with lukewarm water (about 100 degrees F). You'll need 1 pint to 1 quart of water.

Third, the best position for taking an enema is on your knees, head down to the floor, with the enema bag hanging 2-3 feet above the rectum, in order to get sufficient water flow pressure. You can regulate the flow of the water by using the clamp on the tube. Before inserting the nozzle, lubricate the nozzle with some olive oil or vaseline to make insertion easier. Also, let a little water out first to remove any air bubbles. If you feel discomfort, slow down the water flow or stop it for a moment and take some deep breaths, and then continue again until the bag is empty and all the water is in you.

Fourth, try to retain the water for a while before emptying your bowels. Lie first on your back for a minute, then on your right side, then on your stomach, and then on your left side. While doing all of this, gently massage your stomach with your hands. Then get up and empty your bowels into the toilet. Stay long enough to make sure your bowels are empty.

Additional points to keep in mind...

Keep the equipment clean by washing it with soap and hot water.

You can give yourself an enema once or twice a day. The best time is first thing in the morning, and if you do it twice, then also in the evening before going to sleep.

You can do this at home by yourself. However, if at all possible, have your fasting supervised by someone who is well initiated in it. Under experienced supervision, a juice fast could be undertaken at home for up to 30 days, if necessary. If you are ill, you should consult your doctor on advisability of fasting in your case. I would not advise fasting longer than one week to ten days at a time while doing this by yourself at home.

In future postings, I will discuss what kinds of juices to drink and give you a recipe for home-made vegetable broth. I will also share more tips on juice fasting, as well as how to properly end a juice fast.

Deceptive Food Labels - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

DECEPTIONS OF FOOD MANUFACTURERS
Regarding FOOD LABELS and INGREDIENTS LISTS

You would think that the food labels or ingredients list on food products are designed to inform consumers about what’s in the product. Surprise! The opposite is actually true. Food manufacturers are using the ingredients list to deceive consumers into thinking that their products are healthier than they really are. Keep in mind that food ingredients are listed in order of their proportion in the food, with the biggest ingredients listed first.

A Few “Tricks of the Trade” Used by Food Manufacturers:

First, they distribute sugars among many ingredients so that sugars don’t appear in the top three. For instance, they may use a combination of high-fructose corn syrup, brown sugar, sucrose, dextrose, corn syrup solids, etc. to make sure that none of these appear in the top three ingredients. This fools and misinforms consumers about the total content of sugar in the product.

Another trick is to “pad” the end of the list with miniscule amounts of healthy-sounding berries, herbs, or superfoods such as goji berries, blueberries, spirulina, or green tea. The truth is there just isn’t enough of these superfood ingredients in the food to have any effect on your health, and yet they advertise these ingredients on the front to make consumers think they’re getting healthy food.

Thirdly, they hide dangerous ingredients behind innocent-sounding names that trick consumers into thinking they are safe. For example, “yeast extract” sounds perfectly safe, but it’s actually a trick used to hide MSG (monosodium glutamate), a chemical taste enhancer that has many health risks associated with it. Another example is “sodium nitrite” which is a highly carcinogenic ingredient documented to cause brain tumors and many kinds of cancers.

Fourth, don’t be fooled by product names. Be on your guard because food names can include words that describe ingredients not even found in the product. For example, a “cheese” cracker may not contain any cheese, and a “guacamole” dip may have no avacado in it. Absurd!

Fifth, be aware that ingredients lists don’t include contaminants. Manufacturers are not required to list chemical contaminants, heavy metals, pesticides, or other toxic substances found in the food, even though they are there.

Sixth, food producers manipulate the food “serving size” in order to make it appear that their products are devoid of harmful ingredients such as trans fatty acids. The FDA created a loophole for reporting trans fatty acids on the label: any food with 0.5 grams or less of trans fatty acids “per serving” is allowed to claim “zero” on the label. Exploiting this loophole, unscrupulous companies arbitrarily reduce the serving sizes to ridiculous levels, just enough to lower the trans fats to 0.5 grams per serving. Then, in bold letters on the front of the box, they declare, “ZERO Trans Fats!” In truth, the product may be loaded with trans fats found in hydrogenated oils. This trick is also used to deceive consumers by reducing the number of calories, carbohydrates, or grams of sugar they put on the label.

Seventh, don’t be fooled by the word “wheat” because all flour derived from wheat can be labeled “wheat flour”, even if it’s processed, bleached, and stripped of its nutrition. Only “100% whole grain wheat flour” is a healthy form of flour (make sure it’s not genetically modified).

Finally, don’t be fooled into thinking that “brown” products are always healthier than “white” products. For example, brown sugar is just white sugar with brown coloring and added flavoring; brown eggs are no more healthy than white eggs; and brown bread may be no healthier than white bread because it is often made from white processed flour with brown coloring added.

In conclusion, you’ve got to be on your guard and be smarter than the food manufacturers and their deceptive schemes. Remember that ingredients are listed in order of their proportion in the product, which means the top three ingredients are what you’re primarily eating and matter more than anything else. Stick with ingredients you recognize and can pronounce, and don’t be fooled by healthy-sounding herbs and berries that appear near the end of the list.

Juice Fasting Pt 5 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

SHOULD YOU USE AN ENEMA WHILE JUICE FASTING?

There is a lot of controversy in America about the use of enemas while fasting. There are some doctors and clinics in America that condemn the use of enemas completely while fasting. They insist that enemas are unnatural, unnecessary, habit-forming, and harmful.

On the other hand, virtually all European fasting authorities agree that using enemas while fasting is beneficial and advisable. They do warn against the regular use of enemas and colonics when not fasting because it is habit-forming. However, the exceptions to this general rule include times of fasting, treating of acute constipation, and treating acute infectious illnesses when the patient is bedridden for long periods and their bowel movements become sluggish.

According to Dr. Paavo Airola, "During fasting, the natural stimulation of the defecation-reflex from food is missing and therefore all the impurities, wastes, and toxins will remain in the body and may cause auto-toxemia, or self-poisoning. The main purpose of fasting is to help the body to cleanse itself from accumulated toxic wastes. By the process of autolysis, a huge amount of morbid matter, dead cells, and diseased tissues are burned; and the toxic wastes which have accumulated in the tissues for years, causing disease and premature aging, are loosened and expelled from the system. The alimentary canal, the digestive and eliminative system, is the main road by which these toxins are thrown out of the body. Since, during fasting, the natural bowel movements cease to take place, the toxic wastes would have no way of leaving the system, except with the help of enemas."

It is for the above mentioned reasons that virtually all biological doctors in Europe administer enemas to all fasting patients (once, twice, or even three times daily). During both juice fasting and water fasting, using an enema will assist the body in its cleansing and detoxifying effort by washing out all the toxic wastes from the alimentary canal.

One of the most common and harmful ailments of modern civilized man is CONSTIPATION. The digestive tract, especially in the colon and lower bowels, becomes stagnant and slack with hardened residues clinging to the walls of the colon and filling its many folds and pockets as a result of long-term constipation.

One of the most common complaints of people over 50 is a condition called "Diverticulitis," which is a chronic condition whereby small pockets of the colon are packed with feces. Often what happens is that the complete length of the colon is packed with hardened old fecal matter, cemented to the wall and pouches, leaving only a thin, narrow channel for soft feces to pass through. It would be unwise for a person to fast without making an effort to cleanse their body of these toxic tissues which are a constant source of auto-intoxication or self-poisoning. In addition, if these toxins are not eliminated through the alimentary canal, the body will try to get rid of them through other eliminative organs such as the kidneys. As a result, these toxins can overload the kidneys and even damage them.

According to Dr. Airola, here is what the European fasting specialists advise for their fasting patients.

1. All of their fasting patients are given DAILY ENEMAS, in addition to WEEKLY COLONIC IRRIGATIONS.

2. To assist the body even further in its detoxification and elimination processes, fasting patients are given DRY BRUSH MASSAGE twice a day. This is very important because it stimulates the eliminative capacity of the skin, which is the biggest eliminative organ of the body.

3. And finally, all fasting patients are advised to WALK and EXERCISE in FRESH AIR as often as possible to help the lungs in their blood-purification work.

For more information on juice fasting, watch for my next posting.

Fasting is a very healthy and healing habit to develop and one that you should consider establishing as you start the new year. I personally practice and recommend fasting one day a week (consistently on the same day) and fasting for cleansing, regenerating, and rejuvenating purposes twice a year. Always remember, juice fasting is one of the keys to good nutrition and eating healthy with the Uri Feast.

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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

MERRY CHRISTMAS from our Family to Yours

This is a very special time of the year for so many people around the world, including me and my family.

We celebrate Christmas as a remembrance of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. We remember that God sent His Son as a baby to be born in a humble stable, to grow up and show us what God is like, who He is, and to reconcile us back to God our Father. As part of that plan, Jesus was born to die young as a holy sacrifice for the sins of the world, and then to be glorious resurrected to life and bring with Him many sons and daughters to glory in His Father's Kingdom.

I wish you and your family much joy and peace in the Savior of the world.

And remember, instead of throwing all caution to the wind this Christmas season, I encourage you to choose health and choose life. Realizing that the Feast and Beyond Berries are the healthiest and best whole food based super juices on the market today is one of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy.

HOW LONG
CAN YOU FAST
OR
SHOULD YOU FAST?

The answer to this question depends upon the purpose of your fast.

If you are fasting for the purpose of protecting and defending your body against illness and preventing physical health problems, 7-10 days of fasting will be sufficient. In other words, if you are fasting in order to cleanse, regenerate, and rejuvenate your body (known as prophylactic purposes), then a fast lasting for a week to ten days would be enough. Short fasts such as this can be taken once or twice a year. If you have a proper mental attitude, confidence and understanding of the philosophy and physiology of fasting, you can safely fast on your own for up to ten days. However, if you feel unsure of yourself, you may consult a doctor or fasting practitioner for assistance.

On the other hand, if you are planning a "therapeutic fast" for the purpose of healing, then the length of the fast should be determined by the doctor or practitioner who supervises the fast. Generally, therapeutic fasts vary between 7 days and 40 days. The most common duration of fasts in European clinics is 14 to 21 days. It is not advisable to undertake a do-it-yourself fast for longer than a week or ten days.

Finally, if you are fasting for spiritual reasons, the length of your fast is between you and God. In the Bible, you can find fasts that last anywhere from one day, to three days, to seven days, to 21 days, to 40 days. The people in the Bible who are most known for fasting include Jesus, Moses, Daniel, Esther, David, Elijah, Paul, and many others. These people found tremendous spiritual benefits from fasting and are an example to me.

Fasting is a great habit to develop and one that you may consider establishing as you start the upcoming new year. I personally practice and recommend fasting one day a week (consistently on the same day) and fasting for cleansing, regenerating, and rejuvenating purposes twice a year.

And always remember, fasting and juice fasting are keys to good nutrition and eating healthy with the Uri Feast.

Juice Fasting Pt 2 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

MORE ON THE AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF FASTING

A few days ago, I wrote Part I of this short series on juice fasting and juice feasting. Today I'd like to continue discussing this topic by saying a few more things about FASTING itself.

I believe that juice fasting and juice feasting are keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy with the Uri Feast.

In today's posting, I will continue on this topic of fasting, and I will explain in greater detail WHY FASTING IS THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO REGAIN YOUR HEALTH AND REJUVENATE YOUR BODY

The primary causes of physical health problems and aging are found in the processes of cell metabolism and cell regeneration.

According to Hans Selye, the famous Canadian stress doctor and author of The Stress of Life, "Life, the biological chain that holds our parts together, is only as strong as its weakest vital link." In other words, you are as young or as old as your smallest vital links, which are your CELLS. Yes, it's true: YOU ARE AS YOUNG OR AS OLD AS YOUR CELLS!

AGING takes place when your normal process of cell regeneration and rebuilding slows down, which is caused primarily by the accumulation of waste products in the tissues which interferes with the nourishment of your cells. Each of your cells is a complete living entity with its own metabolism, and each of your cells needs a continuous supply of oxygen and sufficient nutritive substances for nourishment.

Dr. Paavo Airola, world-famous nutritionist and naturopathic doctor, states, "When due to nutritional deficiencies, sluggish metabolism, sedentary life, overeating and consequent poor digestion and assimilation of food, lack of fresh air and sufficient exercise and rest, our cells are deprived of the nourishment they need, they start to degenerate and break down, the normal process of cell replacement and rebuilding slows down and your body starts to grow old, its resistance to diseases will diminish and various ills will start to appear. This may happen at any age. Sluggish metabolism, constipation, and consequent inefficient elimination causes retention and accumulation of toxic wastes in the tissues which interfere with the nourishment of the cells, causing disease and premature aging."

At any specific time, only about half of your CELLS are in the peak of development, vitality, and in good working condition. One fourth are usually in the process of dying and being replaced, while the other fourth are in the process of development and growth. The healthy vital life-processes and youth are only maintained when there is perfect balance in this process of cell break-down and replacement. If the CELLS are breaking down and dying faster than the new cells are being built, then the process of AGING begins to set in. It is very important that the aging and dying cells are decomposed and eliminated from the system in an efficient manner because fast and efficient elimination of dead cells stimulates the building and growth of NEW CELLS.

HERE'S WHERE FASTING COMES IN AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO RESTORE YOUR HEALTH AND REJUVENATE YOUR BODY.

During a FAST, the process of eliminating dying and dead cells is accelerated, and the building of new cells is stimulated and speeded up. According to Dr. Airola, "At the same time the toxic waste products that interfere with the nourishment of the cells are effectively eliminated and the normal metabolic rate and cell oxygenation are restored."

HOW AND WHY FASTING CAN ACCOMPLISH SUCH AMAZING RESULTS

First, after the first three days of a prolonged fast, your body will start to live on its own substance. In other words, when your body is deprived of food, it will burn and digest its own tissues (cells) by the process of "autolysis" or self-digestion. However, your body will not do this indiscriminately. In its God-given wisdom, your body will first decompose and burn those cells and tissues which are diseased, damaged, aging, or dead. When you fast, your body will naturally feed itself first on the most impure and inferior materials, such as dead cells and morbid accumulations, abscesses, tumors, fat deposits, damaged tissues, etc. These dead and inferior cells and tissues are utilized and consumed first, while the vital organs and essential tissues, the glands, the brain, and the nervous system, are spared. It is for this reason that Dr. Buchinger Sr., one of the greatest fasting authorities, refers to fasting as "a burning of rubbish," and a "refuse disposal." In summary, this self-digestion is the hidden secret to the extraordinary effectiveness of fasting as a health-restoring and rejuvenating therapy!

Second, during the process of fasting, not only are the old and diseased cells and tissues decomposed and burned up, but the building of healthy NEW CELLS is stimulated and accelerated. This may seem impossible since no food or only a limited amount of nourishment in the case of a juice fast, is supplied; however, this is a physiological fact. During a fast, the proteins needed for new cell building are resynthesized from the decomposed cells. In this way the body is able to use and re-use the same proteins and other nutrients over and over where they are needed.

Third, during a fast, the cleansing and eliminative capacity of the eliminative organs (the lungs, liver, kidney, and skin) is greatly increased, resulting in the quick expelling of masses of accumulated metabolic toxins and wastes. This is due to the fact that the eliminative organs are relieved from the normal task of digesting food and eliminating wastes, and therefore they can concentrate on cleansing the body's tissues of accumulated toxins and wastes. This process of elimination is evidenced by typical fasting symptoms such as offensive breath, dark urine, skin eruptions, perspiration, continuous and generous discharge from the colon with enema, catarrhal elimination of mucus, etc.

Fourth, during a fast, the digestive, assimilative, and protective organs of the body experience a physiological REST. After fasting, food digestion and nutrient absorption is greatly improved, and sluggishness and further waste retention is prevented. In this whole process of fasting and cleansing, the body's rejuvenated cells are supplied with oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.

Lastly, the process of fasting exerts a normalizing, stabilizing, and rejuvenating effect on all the vital mental, nervous, and physiological functions of the body. Glandular chemistry and hormonal secretions are stimulated, the nervous system is rejuvenated, biochemical and mineral balance in the cells is normalized, and mental powers are improved.

As a final note, I'd like to share the fact that I practice fasting once a week for health reasons, as well as for spiritual reasons. It's a great habit to develop and one that you may consider establishing as you start the upcoming new year. And always remember, fasting and juice fasting are keys to good nutrition and eating healthy with the Uri Feast.

Juice Fasting Pt 1 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

Today I'd like to start a series of postings on the topic of JUICE FASTING and JUICE FEASTING.

I believe that juice fasting and juice feasting are keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy with the Uri Feast. However, before we talk about juice fasting, I would like to first lay a solid foundation for the whole concept of FASTING.

THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF FASTING

Fasting is the most ancient therapeutic method known to man. Since the begining of time, man has instinctively stopped eating when feeling ill and has fasted from food until his health was restored. Even animals go on a fast when they are not feeling well in order to cure themselves of illness and restore their health.

Throughout the long medical history of man, fasting has been considered one of the most dependable curative and rejuvenative treatments for man's illnesses. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, prescribed it and practiced it, along with other great physicians such as Galen, Paracelsus, and many others. Fasting was called, "the greatest remedy; the physician within," by Paracelsus. Many of the great philosophers of history such as Plato and Socrates practiced fasting as a way to attain mental and physical efficiency. Most of the Eastern philosophers and spiritual leaders have practiced fasting regularly, along with meditation, in order to attain long life, mental efficiency, and spiritual awareness.

Over the past 60 years, medical science has rediscovered the value of fasting. Many scientific studies and clinical test have been done, particularly in Europe, to determine the prophylactic, therapeutic, and rejuvenating properties of fasting. I encourage you to do your own research on these studies. Are Waerland is an example of a great Swedish health pioneer who advocated and practiced fasting. In fact, fasting is a standard initial cleansing method in the world-famous Wearland Healing System. In Germany there are literally hundreds of clinics operated by medical doctors where fasting is now employed on a large scale. For example, at the Buchinger Sanatorium in Bad Pyrmont, fasting is used initially in almost every condition of ill health. Over 80,000 therapeutic fasts were supervised by Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger and his father, both medical doctors, during their 50 years of practice. According to Dr. Werner Zabel, another great fasting specialist in Germany, "Together with fever and optimal nutrition, fasting is man's oldest and best healing method."

THE REJUVENATING BENEFITS OF FASTING

The therapeutic effect of fasting has been well documented by clinical experience both in Europe and the United States. According to Dr. Adolph Mayer, "Fasting is the most efficient means of correcting any illness." In the words of Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger, Jr., M.D., fasting is indeed a "Royal road to healing."

Throughout history and today, fasting has been used not only for the therapeutic purpose of healing illness, but also for its obvious revitalizing and rejuvenating effect. People across the globe fast regularly not to cure any particular illness, but because they consider fasting to be an effective way to cleanse the body from accumulated wastes and toxins, to increase physical stamina and the resistance against illnesses, and to revitalize and rejuvenate the functions of all their vital organs. In Sweden, fasting has almost become a new national sport.

Contrary to what most people may think, fasting doesn't cause people to feel depleted and weakened. In fact, the opposite is true. After fasting, you will actually feel stronger and revitalized, your health will be significantly improved, and your physical and mental working capacity will be greatly increased. You will not only feel a new sense of energy and vitality, but you will also have a tendancy to look younger. This is not only because of pounds you will lose, but mostly because fasting has such a dramatic rejuvenating effect on the functions of all your vital organs, including the functions of your endocrine glands, which are responsible for how young or old you look and feel.

Okay, I'd better stop here for now.

In my next posting, I will continue on this topic of fasting and juice fasting, and I will explain in greater detail WHY FASTING IS THE NUMBER ONE HEALER AND REJUVENATOR.

As a final note, I'd like to share the fact that I practice fasting once a week for health reasons, as well as for spiritual reasons. It's a great habit to develop and one that you may consider establishing as you start the upcoming new year. And always remember, fasting and juice fasting are keys to good nutrition and eating healthy with the Uri Feast.
