Juice FeastingWhen I juice fast, I buy a few cases offood in bulk and store them in a secondrefrigerator. Juice feasting is amazingand fun, bulk it’s also: expensive (unless you have a garden stocked with greens and fruit trees or live in thetropics) requires space to store vegetables requires more trips to the store requires organic or non-sprayed produceThat said, I love juice feasting. I will often start a juice feast drinking close to 1 gallon ofjuice per day. A few days in, I’m usually down to 3 quarts per day. Some people will drinkless. About 1 gallon is usually recommended.Before a juice cleanse, I call my local grocery to buy these in bulk:1 case organic celery1 case organic apples20 pound bag of organic carrots1/2 case of organic kale or other greens1/2 case lemonsThese are my staples. I’ll buy a bunch of ginger, oranges, beets, and odds and ends to keepit interesting. I harvest as much greenery from the weeds in my yard and plants in mygarden. Through in carrot tops, beet greens, turnip greens. Every plant you bring intoyour juice feast has nutrients you won’t otherwise receive.It’s super fun, and, read this if you want to juice feast. Below is from Juice feasting by theRainoshek’sLeafy Greens: You are juicing 2 pounds of leafy greens each day, so you need 10 pounds of greens:spinach, kale, parsley, romaine, butter lettuce, dandelion greens, chard, etc. Weigh it, andrecognize that these are the most nutrient dense foods you will have ever juiced. The cell walls ofthese plants are tough, which is why we suggest using a Vitamix or Press-style juicer to breakthose walls open to release the nutritious juice inside. If you are new to Green Vegetable Juice,start with two favorites: spinach and parsley, then move to kale, romaine, butter lettuce, chard,and so on. One other green of note: cilantro. This green pulls heavy metals from the body,All Rights Reserved Yogahealer LLC Cate Stillman12

particularly mercury, so if you have had, or do have, mercury fillings, please use this green eachweek of the Feast.Celery: We juice one head per person of celery every day of the Feast. Why? Because celery isloaded with organic sodium, which is one of most important alkalizing minerals. Most of us aredeficient in organic sodium from eating a standard or acid-forming diet (meat, dairy, wheat,processed sugar, and soy). Putting back in organic sodium will reduce or eliminate acid refluxdisease, ease gastrointestinal distress, heal the lining of the stomach, aid digestion of proteins, andalkalize the bile of the liver and gallbladder (acid bile creates gallstones). Celery is a key part of thealkalizing aspects of the Juice Feast.Cucumber: Cucumbers have a reputation as the best kidney cleanser known. They are a diuretic;thus, they prevent bloating due to water retention, and they help to wash the kidneys and bladderof debris and stones. Cucumbers are cooling, refreshing, water-rich, filling, low in calories, alkaline,and high in energy. The popular health lecturer and teacher Paul Bragg said of cucumbers, “Thereis nothing more nourishing for the skin to have than the liquid juice from the cucumber. Thenutrition-rich water that it contains, when taken into the body, adds luster to the hair, sparkle tothe eye, color to the lips, tone to the skin, and spring to the step.” Paul Bragg, even in his 90s, hadbeautiful skin, in part due to his daily juicing of cucumbers. We use 1 cucumber a day per personminimum, and they go very well with celery juice and leafy greens. One of our favorite juices isleafy greens with celery, cucumber, lemon, and apple. We will discuss juices more in the nextsection, “Getting Juicy: Making Beautiful Juices.”Sweet Root Crops: Carrot, Beet, and Yam. These are sweet, and also your most calorie densevegetables that you can juice. In terms of calories per quart of juice, you can’t be(e)t a yam! We buyabout 5 lbs of carrots for every 3 days of Feasting, so you might want to get 10 lbs for yourselfRead the rest here: Read this if you want to juice feast.All Rights Reserved Yogahealer LLC Cate Stillman13

Salt Water FlushWhyA salt water flush empties the digestive tract.The salt solution has the same specific gravity as your blood. Itcauses a “tidal wave” effect–pushing everything along until itcomes out the other end. The best time to do a salt water flush isthe first day of your deep cleanse. Those juicing or doing theSpicy Lemonade Cleanse can do it daily."Lose Weight, Have More Energy Be Happier in 10 Days" is aboutthe Master Cleanse. In it he states: "The reason for twoteaspoons of salt is to increase the weight (specific gravity) of thesalt water until it matches the weight of the blood. When the saltwater and the blood are the same weight, the body will treat thesalt water as though it were blood, not absorb the salt from thedigestive system, and will just 'flush" the salt water through thesystem instead of absorbing it."The salt loosens crap from your digestive tract, pulling fecalmatter and mucus off the walls. It pulls the good and bad bacteriadown the chute. If you do any salt water flushing, you’ll need toeat probiotic foods (miso, sauerkraut) as you emerge from yourdetox.Why NotIf you have a pre-existing condition or are currently takingmedications, it’s best to check with your doctor before doing asalt water flush, just to be on the safe side. If you have high bloodpressure, weak kidney function, or adrenal fatigue I don’trecommend it.If you are on a low sodium diet, you won’t need as much salt.Reduce by 1/4 the amount.Troubleshooting FAQQ: It didn’t work.A: Some bodies need more or less salt.
