Juice fasting. Compact guide

"In her compact guide 'Juice Fasting', the author explains the advantages of juice fasting. Instead of a rigorous zero diet and feelings of hunger, you drink juices and creamy smoothies made from fruit and vegetables throughout the day, which have a cleansing effect on the body. The ingredients naturally stimulate the cells to rid themselves of toxins and harmful ballast. The experienced naturopath knows which fruit and vegetable juices are best for relieving the digestive organs. This not only boosts fat metabolism, but also strengthens the body's own defenses. The healthy mixtures not only taste good, but also provide the organism with a concentrated load of easily absorbable vital and protective substances. Whether broccoli and carrot juice with peach, mango and cress smoothie or radicchio juice with raspberries and wild garlic - 50 easily variable recipes offer something for every taste. (…) Many practical tips on wellness and gymnastics exercises as well as shopping lists round off the book.”

"Eight years after the first edition was published (...), the now revised small-format guide by medical journalist and alternative practitioner Heßmann-Kosaris fits perfectly with the trending topic of interval fasting. Juice fasting is presented as an effective weekend quick cure without any unpleasant preparation or follow-up (bowel movement!) to drain, detoxify and purify the body, restore the acid-base balance or strengthen the immune system. The 50 juice recipes are clearly sorted by season and accompanied by appetizing photos. Additional information (e.g. on herbs and types of tea), shopping lists and suggestions for wellness (massages, baths, etc.) and fitness (gymnastics exercises) help you organize a feel-good weekend. A book that offers more information in a small space than you would expect."

There's nothing like a freshly prepared fruit or vegetable cocktail that's bursting with natural organic ingredients!

Market-fresh fruit and vegetables are the first choice; but high-quality ready-made juices are also good to use.
