Hi Kelly, Wow, what a terrific story of transformation! What beautiful courageous souls we are. The journey only gets better as we shed our karmic stuff and keep reaching for the light. It's then that our world really reflects the light within us. I appreciate you and your friendship. Thanks for sharing your path and thanks for the inspiration! You Go Kelly Girl! *Love&Light*
Thanks for stopping by my page! I am very new to this whole concept and it is great to have support since almost everyone I know is still on the SAD diet.
hello and how are you? thank you for the invite. is your jfeast going well? here's hoping it alleviates your illness. one of my aims is target healing too.
I do exercise for 1 hour about 4-5 times a week..but I have built up to it and I have worked out with varying degrees of intensity since I was 14. I think you have to be gentle with yourself. Do what feels right to you. While you are detoxing most people do yoga or some type of gentle exercise. Sweating aids in the elimination of waste through your skin. So slowly working up a sweat is a good thing, but over doing it with the intensity of the workout will only over work your systems..and sort of work against the healing you are trying to achieve through fasting. The most important thing is that you move your body for at least 30 min a day.
Your lymphatic system, is a major player in your detox. It delivers the nutrients, oxygen, and hormones required by the cells. Then it collects and carries away cellular toxin/waste.
Lymph 101
Your Lymph System is sort of like your blood supply/or circulatory system, as in; it is carried through the body in a mesh-like network of tiny tubes that are distributed throughout the tissue spaces and are located just under the skin. They are made up of capillaries which branch and interconnect freely so that they extend into almost all tissues.. However, the lymph system does not have a "pump" as the blood has the heart. The lymphatic system relies on our movement to act as a "pump". Exercise is important because the movements of the muscles stimulate the pressure, allowing the flow of the liquid into the capillaries.Which then carry it to be eliminated.
Everyone is at a different stage physically. So you have to take a look at where you are. If you are used to climbing mountains..I would consider a hike. If you are used to sitting on the couch..taking a nice walk might be a nice start.
I think the main thing while doing a Juicing fast is that we listen to our body. We are healing different systems, our bodies are using energy to heal. We are releasing toxins causing different reactions. We need to exercise in moderation to aid in the process...but just like anything we can over do it. We want our body to be concentrating on healing at a deep level...not just repairing muscle.
Look into yoga, go on a 30 min bike ride if you feel like you can. Many people use a rebounder during a Juice feast because it helps stimulate the lymphatic system, but it isn't taxing on the body if you go easy on it.
Hope this helps...
Happy Juicing!!
; )
So in short...move your body, and be sensible about where you are on a fitness level. Be gentle, and listen to your body.
Hello Kelly, I'm starting the global juice feasting a bit late. Today is day one of my 70 days juice feast. I wanted to know while your on this feasting journey do you do any kind of exercise? If you go a the juice feasting website they tell you to do some exercise like biking or walking. Is 30 min of biking too much?

Dear Johnny,
Have you thought about Dr. Gabriel Cousens at The Tree of Life in Patagonia, Arizona? I know that's not in Cal, but after going there they do phone consults as follow ups. Gabriel has written many books on Live and Whole Food Nutrition…
