Juice Fasting

by Polina

So I’ve been working here at Freshly Squeezed for a while now.  I talk to people in all aspects of the industry on a daily basis.  With that being said, I have to be honest in the fact that until now, I hadn’t really appreciated what juicing means to some people.  For some out there, it really is a life saving lifestyle.

Eric, our National Sales Director, pointed me in the direction of a documentary called “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”.  In this movie, it chronicles a few people’s lives as they put themselves on a “juice fast” for 60 days.  The results, to put it lightly, were REMARKABLE.  There is one gentleman in this documentary named Phil.  Severely obese, a horrible auto-immune disease, he was certainly nearly dead.

Over the course of his juice fast, not only did he drop a ton of weight (pardon the pun), but he was able to be taken off the multitude of prescriptions that he was on.  Including the ones for his auto-immune disease!

After watching this movie, I felt inspired to change my lifestyle in a similar way.  I have bought my own juicer and will be going on my own juice fasting journey starting this weekend.

Stay tuned to this blog as I will post updates periodically with my progress.

Thanks for your time,

Justin
