How Juice Fasting Affects Your Metabolism

Juice Fasting and Metabolism
Some are afraid that fasting will reduce metabolism and afterwards the body will gain weight on a lower calorie diet. Calorie reduction can cause the body to be conservative by lowering metabolism. The cleansing effect will make the body more efficient in digesting food. Build your health and energy will be greatly increased as well and your spirits will brighten. You will have a much better outlook on your circumstances. 

A Clean Colon
A clean colon makes the digestive process much more efficient, assimilating nutrients that were not utilized before and increasing the absorption of vitamins. As this progress continues, you will naturally wean yourself away from the dead foods that have made up your diet. You will actually desire healthful foods over the 'junk' foods that you are used to eating. As this continues for months and years, you may actually dislike the foods that you once loved. You will feel secure in your newfound strength and identity and the 'comfort foods' to which you were once addicted are no longer attractive to you. This takes a while to achieve. Some people never fully succeed. However, the farther you can go in this direction, the better you will feel and the more inclined you will be to press on. 

Exercise is an important part of the process. Even while resting, the increased metabolism continues as the muscles build and rebuild. The age-old logic is simple and true. If you put out more energy than you take in, you will lose weight. A slower and more efficient metabolism not only increases health and vitality, but it reduces the degeneration that produces aging, so you can live a longer, happier, and healthier life. Don't measure your relative health against the health of your peers. Unless they are on such a plan, they are suffering pain, disease, and early death too.
