Cleansing Your Temple 
With a Juice Fast

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and juice fasting is a wonderful way to honor that temple. It appeals to many people, especially those who find strict water fasting a bit too harsh. Drinking fresh juice is a delightful way to cleanse and rejuvenate your physical body while preparing your mind for greater spiritual clarity.

Here are the wonderful advantages and benefits of juice fasting:

1. A Sabbath rest for your digestion. The calories and nutrients in fresh juice require very little digestion. Because your body absorbs these nutrients so quickly, the unused energy is freed up to repair and rejuvenate the body God fearfully and wonderfully made.

2. You absorb God's earthly bounty. When juicing, you use far more fruits and vegetables than you could ever eat in one sitting. Your stomach simply isn't big enough! Through juicing, you receive an abundance of vitamins and minerals from the earth's natural harvest that you couldn't get by eating whole foods alone.

3. Your body gets a chance to heal. Without the heavy burden of digesting solid food, your body can spend its time and energy on healing. God designed our bodies with amazing self-healing capabilities. During a juice fast, organ repair and the removal of dead or diseased cells become much more efficient.

4. You will release excess weight. Proper stewardship of our health sometimes involves shedding extra pounds so we can serve others better. Juicing provides incredible micronutrients with minimal calories. By consuming just a few hundred calories of vegetable-heavy juice a day, you can lose weight safely, provided you limit high-sugar fruit juices.

5. You restore a healthy, natural balance. The complex structure of proteins in our bodies depends on a proper pH balance. All enzymes, which drive our biological processes, are proteins. Most fruits and vegetables promote an alkaline pH, which many natural health experts believe is a vital component of the vibrant health our Creator intended for us.

6. You will experience numerous other blessings. You can also enjoy these wonderful perks:

Greater mental focus and clarity. We all know the sluggish feeling after a heavy meal. Fasting clears the mind, making it easier to focus on your solopreneur tasks, your prayers, and studying Scripture.

A natural mood boost. Many people report feeling refreshed and joyful during a juice fast, making it easier to share love, joy, and peace with those around you.

Stronger skin, nails, and hair. Fasters commonly report a healthy, vibrant glow in these areas.

Abundant energy. It seems odd that eating less gives you more energy. However, your body has plenty of stored energy ready for use. You will feel revitalized and ready to tackle your daily calling.

Improved heart health. It is very common for blood pressure to stabilize and cardiovascular health to improve, protecting the physical heart that keeps you going.

A cleansed liver. Many harmful chemicals in modern food are fat-soluble. Because juice has practically no fat, you give your liver a chance to detoxify and cleanse your temple. As you lose weight, your body will finally release stored toxins.

If you feel stuck in a rut with your health or your business, a juice fast might be the answer to rejuvenating your body and spirit. All you need is a juicer and some fresh produce.

Why not give juice fasting a chance? Give your body a well-deserved rest from years of heavy digestion. When you honor your temple and give your body a break, it will surprise you in many wonderful, God-given ways.
