Healing The Body Through Fruit Fasting

We are all working on our healing and ultimately want to feel better in our everyday lives. The physical and emotional work we do on ourselves is fundamental, but at The DeTox Now, we have found that for the deepest healing to occur, the body needs to be reset through fasting to restore its detoxification functions and then rebuilt, through diet.

Every single day we work with clients whose problems center around physical and emotional trauma, both of which stress the body. Marry that trauma with inflammatory diets over a lifetime, and it can all manifest as various diseases. Leaving many without the health and wellness they desire.

For healing, it is critical to flush toxins out of the system so that the tissues can regenerate. This also requires that the fluids that make up a majority of the body can be flushed by living water (water derived from living sources, such as springs, fruits, and vegetables).

Fruits contain not only many vitamins but also minerals, fiber and enzymes, but also polyphenols and resveratrol. Polyphenols may help lower blood sugar levels, contributing to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. This is partly because polyphenols may prevent the breakdown of starch into simple sugars, lowering the likelihood of blood sugar spikes after meals.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic nutraceutical that exhibits pleiotropic activities in human subjects. The efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of resveratrol have been documented in over 244 clinical trials, with an additional 27 clinical trials currently ongoing. Resveratrol is reported to potentially improve the therapeutic outcome in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, obesity, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and inflammatory diseases.

The enzymes also have a stimulating and strengthening effect on the liver. In combination with the high-water content of the fruits, which contributes to the cleansing of the intestines, they stimulate elimination, detoxification and purification.

The fructose in the fasting fruit provides you with sufficient energy during fruit fasting so that you will feel fit and vital despite reduced food consumption. This is why most people don’t even feel light-headed or unwell during this type of fast.

A Fruit Fast is a rejuvenating way to eliminate fat, pathogens and toxins from the body. Less aggressive than our water fast, this cleanse leverages the power of anti-inflammatory whole fruits to help the body detoxify itself over the course of 30 days.

So you see—natural sugar from fruit will always make a world of a difference!

Now let’s break down some Myths:

Myth: Our bodies should be alkaline and not acidic.

Fact: Let’s debunk this notion. We don’t choose between the two, both are needed for health. For instance, the stomach needs to be very acidic in order to break our foods down for proper digestion. Likewise, the vagina needs to be acidic to maintain the proper pH that prevent yeast infections, BV and more. So, we need the right balance of acid and alkaline throughout the body. Our goal is to remember that everyone’s health journey is different. A healthy diet for everyone does not require one way. Be healthy.

Myth: There is too much sugar in fruit.

Fact: This is a difficult burden to carry due to our hyper-focus on single ingredients. In other words, the studies that speak negatively on fructose are typically done with artificial fructose or fructose that has been isolated, not delivered through fruit with everything else that makes up a fruit. Rarely do we stop to consider how the entourage effect influences bioavailability and nutrition. There is a synergistic action that fructose has when combined with glucose, polyphenols, antioxidants, fiber, structured water, etc. that is not very well understood. As they say, trust your gut.

There is a big difference between simple sugar and complex sugar. Fruit contains fructose, which is a simple sugar. All fruit contains fructose and glucose, but the balance of fructose is highest in fruits relative to veggies. Unlike glucose, the sugar found in abundance in bread and more complex carbohydrates, fructose does not require insulin or extensive digestive enzymes to process. Resulting in it being safer to consume in abundance.
