"I fast for greater
physical and mental efficiency"
- Plato
For Body: Juice fasting is
the oldest, fastest and safest (biochemical) method of removing unwanted
weight and increases physical well-being , helps you to stay slim, healthy
and vital, and is a huge help in the breaking of addictions.
For Mind: As the physical
body detoxifies, rejuvenates and regenerates, the mind begins to function
more efficiently. During the fast, the digestive system has a rest, freeing
up energy for other things. This energy is used by the mind - bringing
mental clarity. Fasting develops mental will power and increased control
over the senses and mind.
For Spirit: All the major religions
practice fasting in some form or another. Fasting allows the body and
mind to become still, and in the stillness, one is more likely to tune
into the secrets of Life, and to connect with Spirit.
Why do you need
to fast?
Just about everybody benefits from
fasting. Even those who live a relatively healthy lifestyle still have
toxins. Due to old and often bad nutritional habits, environmental pollutants,
stresses and strains of life situations most of us suffer from toxic deposits
throughout the body. With the elimination of these toxins, remarkable
and sometimes incredible changes can and have occurred.
At Moinhos Velhos we have
experienced and witnessed the complete reversal of so-called incurable
diseases (like Psoriasis), the cessation of chronic migraines, the elimination
of allergies and back problems, and dramatic relief from the discomforts
and pains of rheumatic and arthritic sufferers etc. Even
if you feel you are relatively healthy, a fast is a wonderful preventative
measure against aging and possible future ill-health.
Fasting provides a much-needed rest
for the internal organs. The functions of restores and formalizes glandular,
metabolic and nervous-system functions; speeding up the elimination of
morbid accumulations, toxic wastes and dead cells; accelerating new cell
and tissue generation and enhancing cell-oxygenation.
Juice fasting
can help to lose surplus weight
The benefits of fasting
are on so many levels, and different people choose to do our program
for various reasons. A number of people inquire as to whether they will
lose weight. If you have weight to lose, you will certainly lose some
of it - depending on how long you fast for. It is also an excellent first
step to losing weight and changing bad eating
habits.
Low calorie and other fad "diets"
usually fail because they literally starve the body of much-needed nutrients,
causing even greater biochemical imbalance. Thus, when one can no longer
stand to continue with the diet because of how heavily the body is craving
what is denied, one is usually forced to binge to the point of gaining
more weight than was lost, further lowering self-esteem.
During scientific juice-fasting however,
the body autolyzes - self-digests its own stored substances, resynthesizing
nutrients and eliminating toxins. Additionally, fruit and
vegetable juices, alkalinizing vegetable broth, and herbal teas all add
vitamins, minerals and trace elements to the body, in addition to aiding
detoxification.
After the fast, the body is better
able to digest food and is better at utilizing nutrients in the food.
The organs have a new vitality - any sluggishness will have disappeared.
