Many of the foods commonly eaten today either contain no fiber (animal products) or contain lots of harsh insoluble fiber (complex carbohydrates like grains and legumes) which irritates the delicate lining of the digestive tract. Whereas uncooked fruits and vegetables have plenty of predominantly soft, soluble fiber which gently sweeps the colon clean. And the abundant water in these foods aids this natural cleansing and flushing process. On a natural fruit and vegetable diet you will have minimal toxic buildup, good digestion and thorough bowel elimination, all important in creating and maintaining a clean, detoxified body.
Digestion is one of the most energy-intensive tasks the body must do every day. By eating natural raw foods that are relatively easy for the body to digest you can free up massive amounts of the body's precious nerve energy to be used for other important tasks, such as cleansing, detoxifying, and healing. This water-rich, low fat whole raw fruit and vegetable diet will oxygenate your cells and your body, and can raise energy, clarify thinking, improve circulation, enhance the function of all bodily systems, and make you feel more alive. In time, overworked and depleted adrenal glands and pancreas can heal, joint mobility is optimized, aches and pains disappear, and an ideal natural weight can be reached and easily maintained.
The ultimate cleansing process happens on a true fast, while resting and taking in only water, with no food at all. Obviously this is sustainable only for a limited time, and is not necessary for a fully healthy body. As long as you stay wellhydrated, you can safely skip a meal, or even a few meals, whenever you are just not hungry. The energy not being taken for digestion will be used by your body to initiate cleansing and healing. When a fast is extended to longer periods of time, deeper levels of healing can occur. For fasts lasting longer than a couple of days, taking in only water, qualified professional supervision is strongly advised.
