Juice Feast day 6
The Different Juice Fasting Stages of Detoxification Stage 1 (Day 1 To Day 2) On the first day of fasting, the blood sugar level drops below 70 mg/dl. To restore the blood to the normal glucose level, liver glycogen is converted to glucose and released into the blood. This reserve is enough for half a day. The body then reduces the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rate of internal chemical activity in resting tissue is lowered to conserve energy. The heart slows and blood pressure is reduced. Glycogen is pulled from the muscle causing some weakness. The first wave of cleansing is usually the worst. Headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily coated tongue are signs of the first stage of cleansing. Hunger can be the most intense in this period unless the enema is used which quickly assists the body into the fasting state by ending digestion in the colon Stage 2 (Day 3 To Day 7) Fats, composed of transformed fatty acids, are broken down to release glycerol from the gliceride molecules and are converted to glucose. The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem-free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. Ketones are formed by the incomplete oxidation of fats. It is suspected that the ketones in the blood suppress the appetite by affecting the food-satiety center in the hypothalamus. You may feel hungry for the first few days of the fast. This ...

Thats incredible that they are even considering doing a cleanse…I hope they follow through with it! Although my husband is REALLY a purist, into local organic food – he is a meat and potatoes guy. I am in Northern California about 45 miles north of San Francisco. : )

These are just quart size, wide mouth glass mason jars (canning jars) that I bought at our local hardware store. You can find them at lots of places. Some grocery stores even carry them. You usually have to buy a case. But having these on hand is awesome. I prefer these plastic lids that you buy separately. You can buy them online. Check out the side bar for a link to one of the many online sources.

You can also check out the youtuber “liferegenerator”… he has an Amazon store (link to this store is in the side bar on most of his vids). I think you can find the jars and lids there.

I hope that both of you will enjoy ever growing health together!

I remember the walk you taped when you first moved to this place. I think I remember that tree, all covered with fog. The fog must have really been thick, because there are lots of trees to see now. About the skin improving, my husband also has a rash from birth that is red and sometimes scaly just under his hair and beard. He’s been drinking green smoothies – as per “Green For Life” by Victoria Boutenko. We are both amazed how it has cleared up when no ointment from doctors could do so.
February 16th, 2010 - 17:26
Those are the same trees from my foggy early morning walk vid! Well that is awesome to hear about your husband success in clearing up his rash with green smoothies. Can you do a vid on this and tell us how often he has the smoothies, what goes in them etc… I guess I should get her book : )
February 16th, 2010 - 17:27
ahh, shucks thanks for the compliment. Nothing like green juice to put a sparkle in your eye. : )
February 16th, 2010 - 17:28
I hope our husbands do it as well! Wouldn’t that be incredible!
February 16th, 2010 - 17:32
Beehives, really? There are some unattended hives on the farm right now. There is actually a name and number on a few. I will check it out. Would that be an interesting coincidence if you have already been to where we are living? You MUST come visit. : )
February 16th, 2010 - 17:32
thanks for the support! Yes, I should him Quentins vid of the blood test results and it was after that, that he said he would like to do one. Wow.
February 16th, 2010 - 17:34
Thanks rawdria for the compliment. You glow. Thanks to you and your husband I am on this journey. Much love : )

Just think, you can be the shining light in his life. With my husband its best if I dont ask him to do something, rather gently influence him by being so happy with my choices around juicing and raw foods etc.
February 16th, 2010 - 19:22
amen. gosh i learned that long ago. however my son(22) has released 50 pounds also from me just having more veggie choices around. my hubby will catch on soon. waves~~~

Great video full of energy and love… I really enjoy your vids and would appreciate some juice recipes in order to have some inspiration ;-)… Keep going strong girl!!
February 18th, 2010 - 06:38
You look so cute!
Wish I had bright, clear skin like you!
I appreciate you sharing your experience (including the notion of stages) and how you’re feeling now.
Inspiring. Wish to have a juicer one day soon.
I REALLY appreciate you sharing the video of you and your husband walking. Makes me feel like I can have a husband one day who will take walks with me. Helps with my visualization! Thank you !!!

Hi AhzeaM! Thanks for the support! Well, regarding skin issues green juices, and greens in general are suppose to really be good for that part of the body. I recommend checking out Natasha at rawradianthealth here on youtube. She has a whole bunch of info and programs for skin issues. And, yes YOU WILL HAVE A HUSBAND to take walks with… I was in my mid 30′s when I found mine. I spent a lot of years feeling empty. I will send a request out for you on finding the right mate Big love to you!
