The book of the month "Juicing, Fasting and Detoxing for Life" has taught me so much. I’ve posted about the foods you should never buy unless it is organic. When you are fasting, however, you should ONLY juice organic food.
The author talks about how the body tends to heal itself more rapidly and efficiently while on a fast which is why if there was EVER a time to avoid GMO it is during a fast. GMO creates abnormality in cells and part of the goal of fasting is to rebuild cells. Even if the conventionally grown foods are not genetically modified, they could have pesticides. Another goal when fasting is to detoxify the body, so why reintroduce toxins to the body with pesticides?
It is important that if you are going to fast or cleanse that it is done properly. If it isn't done properly, it may be counterproductive to fast or cleanse in the first place. I know of people who became VERY ill because of improper practices with cleansing. Let me know how you are doing and what you have learned from the book. You may comment below or post in the BeWell BookWorms forum on the Whole Health Destinations page. As always, questions, comments and furthermores are always welcome!
