RE: Juice Fast - Day 30 - Most important post you'll ever read...
my chiropractor would say, "just eat the whole plant", and chew it well.
but of course, it's really hard to eat some of these plants raw... so juicing has that going for it. I like to cook Kale just a little; makes it way more edible; but it's still mostly raw..
Once you start eating plant diet; and lots of fiber; it goes right through you each day!
Chew the juices and activate the mouth enzymes in the same fashion :)
Is it valuable that those are words from a chiropractor? I'd value the words of a gastroenterologist before a chiropractor...however, those words are still true. Check this out... here's where eating the whole plant/fruit IS NOT ADVANTAGEOUS:
Hope that helps! :) And thank you for reading, commenting, and upvoting!! Much appreciated.
I read the comment - makes no sense? What are you saying there?
Is juice cause of intestines problems for humans?
To put it simply, this is very situational. "Eating the whole plant" is a great thing to do. However, when your colon is backed up with over 9-10 past meals with a bunch of hardened, dry fecal matter ... drinking ONLY the juices from fruits/veggies will be significantly more advantageous than "just eating the whole fruit/veggie". It becomes a better choice if your goal is your health -- and even though this is a "better choice", it does not imply that eating the whole fruit/veggie is bad.
Now that you know this, re-read the comment and hopefully it'll make more sense! :) Thank you for asking.
Thank you for the explanation.
There's one of the paragraphs in previous comment that looks it contradicts your post bottom line idea.
Quote "When your diet is higher in juicy fruits and vegetables--including all of the pulp, non-soluble fiber, starches, etc.--you add more solid matter to your colon! This solid matter will get dehydrated from your colon and--with health consequences--from the old, dry fecal matter. You potentially gain more dry fecal matter in your colon. These new items you add then become easily stuck and add further obstruction. " end quote
More juice means more solid matter ?!? Typo error ?
I am not saying "more juice". I am saying that even if you eat juicy fruits (eat the solid fruit matter AND the juice/water content inside of the fruit) that you are still adding matter to your colon. The other dehydrated matter can easily pull the water from the solid fruit material, thus dehydrating that solid fruit matter. This means that when you eating fruits and vegetables, you still have matter in your colon that can get dried up from the older dried material. However, if you drink only the juice--and you do not eat the solid fruit material--then your juice will absorb into your blood and rehydrate old dry fecal matter, preparing it for better elimination. Thus, the juice does not add more matter to your colon. Over time, drinking juices will clean out all of the old material in your intestines without leaving new material behind. Hope this helps :)
:-) hi Robert , I read the comment, thank you for your time.
I understand the principles but the quoted paragraph still looks contradictory - not telling me the truth you just ref. to.
Hope this helps
Best Regards
Thank you, too :) Please let me know how I can fix the previous paragraph :D I'm very happy about your attention and frankness on this!
