Raw Juice Fasting Journey: Part 3

Raw Juice Fasting Journey: Part 3
(Sorting Through the Emotional Baggage)

“It is often the last key on the ring which opens the door” – Proverb


Is Your Health Last on the List?

I chose the above proverb because it truly resonated with me. Its words rang true as I reflected on life and health and searched my heart and soul for direction for this article. I realize that, for many people, juice fasting or converting to a raw food lifestyle is a last-ditch effort to rebuild their lives and improve the health they’ve taken for granted for way too long. Is that the situation you’re in? Have you put your husband or wife, fiancé, children, friends, and/or work on the top of your priority list, while you slipped notch after notch until you landed at the bottom with a thud?

Why You Deserve to Be at the Top

If you put yourself last every time, you’ll end up exhausted, worn down, forgetful, unhealthy, and maybe even dead. Yes, that’s drastic and depressing, but that’s why it’s terribly important for you to pull the reins on your bad eating/drinking habits now—before it’s too late. And, it’s especially crucial that you take care of yourself if you have others depending on you—like a disabled loved one, children, or elderly parents. If you put your health above everything else, you’ll be around for a long time to love back—and take care of—those who love you.

Well on Our Way

In previous Raw People juicing articles, we’ve looked at why raw juice is much healthier than bottled, a few reasons you might want to go on a juice fast, what you might expect to feel like, and how to begin your juice fast. Today, I’d love to share the message of why juice fasting to cleanse your body and improve your health is a life or death situation. This is dealing with the emotional part of a juicing journey to better health.
We’re well on our way!


Juice Fasting = The Last Key

Take it and open the door to your health…

Juice fasting is an amazing experience. By bombarding your body with living, raw nutrients, you’ll be giving your body—and mind—the love and appreciation it has always deserved. All those fast food meals that filled a void in the moment, but left your body nutrition deprived…  The days, maybe even years, that you spent guzzling soda and coffee instead of hydrating with water (ionized alkaline water is best)… All the candy bars that sent your blood sugar on a roller coaster… Those can be but memories of your distant past. You hold the key. The choice is yours.

No, juice fasting may not cure every disease in every person, but it most certainly can rejuvenate a tired old body and mind. It can absolutely send vitamins and minerals rushing through your bloodstream and bring back the strong, vibrant and healthy feelings you used to feel without even realizing how precious your youthful health was.

Perhaps you’re struggling to regain your health as you read this. You might even be in tears right now, so desperate to be healthy and to live longer than anyone around you expects—because they’ve given up on you changing your junk food binging ways.

Accept this key and open the door to a healthy future—your healthy future.  Invest in a juicer. Invest in organic produce. Invest in your health. Do it for those who love you. Do it for those you love. Do it because you love yourself—or because you want to. You’ll be rich if you do: rich with life, health, and healing!
