Acne And Constipation And Juice Fast
Getting your bowels moving and cleaning out your colon is necessary for having facial skin without blemishes or acne. By reducing the toxins in your colon, you minimize the toxins that can seep out of your facial pores and contribute to acne.
If you eat 3 meals each day, you should have at least 2 bowel movements a day. If you only have one, then you are short 1 bowel movement.
3 Day Mini Fast
To get your bowels moving like they should, you need to clean out what is in your colon right now. So the first day is for cleaning out your colon. The next two days is to keep cleaning the colon and to detoxify the body.
Doing a 3-day fruit juice mini-fast is the best way to start cleaning out the colon, to detoxify the blood, and rejuvenate your body. Doing a fast for only three days is not a cure all and it will require more work on your part. You will need to eat more natural foods.
In her extensive book, Cooking For Healthy Healing, 1991, Linda Rector-Page, N.D., Ph.D., talks about what a fast does:
"Fasting works by self-digestion. During a cleanse, the body in its infinite wisdom, will decompose and burn only the substances and tissue that are damaged, diseased, or unneeded, such as abscesses, tumors, excess fat deposits, and congestive wastes. Even a relatively short fast can accelerate elimination from the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin, often causing dramatic changes as masses of accumulated waste are expelled. Live foods and juices can literally pick up dead matter from the body and carry it away."
Day before the fast
The day before the fast, eat a large salad and two apples. This will give you plenty of fiber to scrub the walls of your colon as you move fecal matter out of your colon the following day.
First day of colon cleanse
Do this cleanse on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day that you don't have to go anywhere. You will be going to the bathroom all day and at times you need to be there quick.
Buy the following items.
* Organic apple juice - one gallon
* Organic apples - 6 for one day
* Organic prune juice - one quart
When you first wake up in the morning, drink,
* 8 oz of prune juice
* 10 minutes later drink another 8oz of prune juice
* 10 minutes later again drink another 8 oz of prune juice
* wait 20 minutes than drink 8 oz of apple juice
* wait 30 minutes than drink another 8 oz of apple juice
If you haven't sped to the bathroom yet, you will in a little while!!
Now you will be drink 8 oz of apple juice every hour until the end of the day. You can stop drinking apple juice around 5pm.
During the day you can eat three apples in the morning and 3 apples in the evening.
This process will clean out any fecal matter that has been sitting in your colon for days and gets you ready for the next step.
Second way to start the colon cleanse
Another way to start a colon cleanse is to use a product that is called "Oxy-Powder." This product is in capsules and is used for 30 days. Simply by taking capsules everyday, you will clean out your colon and any build up along your colon walls.
You can get this product on the internet, just type in Oxy-powder.
Second day of mini fast
During the second day you can drink different kinds of juice and eat 2-6 apples. You can drink any kind of juice be it fruit or vegetable. A combination of fruit and vegetable juice is good.
Third day of mini fast
The third day is like the second day where you can drink different kinds of juice and eat 2-6 apples. You can drink any kind of juice be it fruit or vegetable. A combination of fruit and vegetable juice is good.
Fourth Day, after the fast is done
After you have finished your three-day mini fast, start eating soft foods to gently adjust your system to food. Here are some of the foods you can eat:
* Baked potato
* Fruit salad
* Fruit smoothie
* Light soup
* Oatmeal, multigrain cereal
* Salad
* Yogurt
If you are ill, not feeling good, or your immune system is low, don't do this mini-fast. Wait until you feel strong. After you do the mini-juice fast, you are now ready for the next step in clearing your acne.
