general guidelines for fasting

»
try to build up a deficient person at least 2 weeks before putting him/her on a fast unless in cases of emergency
» decrease the amount of food eaten the week before the fast so the body will not receive a shock
» three days before the fast begins, introduce more vegetables and fruits (75:25) and decrease the amount of protein and heavy carbohydrates
» break the fast slowly and carefully according to the fast instructions
» during the fast, avoid high stress situations, intense exercise, extreme temperature change and drafts; moderation and relaxation are the key
» make all juices fresh and drink immediately after preparation; if this is impractical, juice only enough for one day and store refrigerated in a tightly closed container
» vegetables and fruits should be at room temperature before juicing; juices should be at room temperature before drinking
» drink juices slowly and mix well with saliva in your mouth before swallowing
