Short term fasting has been around for centuries and advocated for not only religious reasons but also for overall health and well being. Hippocrates, the “father of modern medicine”, believed that fasting was the most effective way of keeping the body in a state of harmony and even today, the idea of a 3 day fast could go a long way to helping the body cope with modern day toxins that we get through environment and food.

Obviously, the dilemmaone drawback is that a fasting diet in today is not really realistic.  Most of us commit hours a day working and the notion of not eating when are co-workers are busy feeding their stomachs through out lunchtime may not be such a good plan.  Temptations happen and sooner than you know it, the 3 day fast has become a 12 hour diet.

That is why a more toned down model of a fasting diet may be to remove the solid foods and solely ingest foods that are easily digestible and don’t exert the digestive process.  In cases like this, a 3 day juice fasting diet may do the trick.  

So how does it work?

Where a lot of people go wrong once they’re starting a fasting program is usually that they go in it cold turkey.  Fasting does have a couple of negative effects, with the vast majority of people complaining about constipation.  The easiest way to stop this is to ease into a 3 day fast first by spending the first couple days eating solely raw vegetables and fruits.  This might help your body prepare for some days without solid foods.

The best juices to take in could be the kinds you probably aren’t acquainted with.  While apple and orange juice may sound better you will want to add chorella, wheatgrass and other green vegetables directly into the blend.  The sweet fruits are meant to make the juice a tad bit more pleasing.  Apple juices can be combined together with the vegetable juices.

Furthermore, the short term fasting diet will only help with immediate problems.  For instance, a 3 day juice fast will help to haste the healing processrecuperation of a recent problem and also is thought to help cleanse the blood.  In contrast, merely adding 2 additional days could reinforce your body’s defence mechanism.
