Fasting, Detox and Cleansing
To go on a fast is to give your digestive system a needed vacation. We
all know we live in a toxic world. We breathe polluted air and often drink
water laden with chemicals. Most of us eat three meals (or more) each
day. Often, before one meal can be digested, processed and repackaged,
another meal is on the way. Our system barely gets a break. Our stomach,
liver and kidneys are working overtime, as are our intestines.
In addition to the good stuff we are introducing to the body,
there is also a lot of junk - bad food, chemicals, preservatives,
food colorings, etc. In most cases we treat our digestive system as an
in basket. We put food on top of food, without allowing
for complete utilization of nutrients and elimination of waste.
When our body is cleansed, our psyche and spirit are also unburdened.
Fasting is a great time to surrender some of our old food habits, toxic
thoughts and our compulsions (like reaching for high fat/sugar snack at
the first sign of hunger).
A detoxifying fast can renew energy. When we rest our system, we give
it a chance to restore its efficiency and integrity.
Fasting has long been recognized for its role in restoring health. It
allows spent, worn out cells to flow out of the body, making way for the
formation of new cells in a less toxic environment. Eliminating toxins
can give the body a chance to reprogram itself.
Fasting with the delicious fruit and berry juices found in the Rejoice
48 hour plan can give you the opportunity to build a new, healthier
body from the inside out and release unwanted pounds!
Why is Rejoice unique?
Each serving has been formulated with 5 grams of soluble-non-digestible
dietary fiber called Fibersol-2. This unique ingredient contains
short chain polymers of glucose that have been engineered by purposeful
rearrangement of starch or hydrolyzed starch, converting a portion of
the normal alpha-34-glucose linkages to random 1,2-, 1-3- and 1,4 alpha
or beta linkages.
The human digestive system effectively digests only alpha-1,4-linkages.
Therefore, the other linkages render the molecules resistant to digestion
or absorption in the small intestine. Consequently these undigested maltodextrins
pass to the large intestine where they are fermented by the colonic bacteria.
This normal process yields short chain fatty acids, lowers the pH
and reduces gaseous by-products.
The health benefits of Fibersol-2:
1. Fibersol helps maintain a normal, healthy cardiovascular system.
2. Fibersol helps maintain normal healthy blood glucose levels after a meal.
It reduces the postprandial rise in blood glucose levels.
3. Fibersol helps maintain normal healthy regularity. It stimulates bowel movement
by its bulking effect.
4. Fibersol helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
5. Fibersol does not affect mineral and calcium absorption as can occur with
some fibers.
