You will want to make sure that you are planning on drinking only fresh juices. No
canned or bottled juices. While there are many packaged juices that are "organic"
and "all natural" a lot is lost in the processing and pasteurization of the juices. Many
of the enzymes are destroy if the juice is heated in any way and many of the
containers that the juice is stored in can leach into the juices. In addition, the longer
the juice stays on the shelf the less potency it has.

While you will also be drinking water during your fast, you will want to make sure that
you leave room for at least 4 8-12 ounce glasses of juice per day. You will want to
plan your day around your drinking of the juices. For this reason it might be best to

prepare the fresh juices when you are planning on drinking them. Don't let them sit
for a long time. And, second, your body will want to expend the energy from the
juice on cleansing itself, not doing your regular job.

fruits to ease your recently cleansed digestive tract back into duty.
