Prune Juice Diet: Pros and Cons
An increasing number of people call on their doctors in search of information on a trendy new phenomenon called the prune juice diet. People are looking for the best way to shed extra weight and feel more healthy and energetic. They have heard about the abundance of benefits that a juice fast delivers. However, a prune juice fast is very different from a juice fast. It is important to understand the side effects that could come from such a laxative diet.
Years of coaching personal clients in NYC has led me to the conclusion that juice fasting is hands down the most powerful thing you can do to supercharge your health and melt the inches between you and the body of your dreams. And it’s the fastest route there. (They don’t call it a fast for nothin’!) However, fasting on prune juice is not recommended. In fact, I strongly advise against it. Here’s why.
Small amounts of this juice can certainly benefit ones health as the fruit is packed with nutrients. However, prune juice is a natural laxative. It is recommended that one rather prevents the onset of constipation before it gets to a point where laxatives are required.
Laxatives work in the digestive system by stimulating peristalsis. This process results in contractions occurring in the digestive tract. Should there be food and waste, the contractions help it to move it through in order to be eliminated. As a prune juice fast involves no food, there would be no food to move. Apart from the contractions being painful in this event, they could potentially be harmful to ones health. A juice fast, however, improves the functioning of the digestive tract, leaving it sparkling clean. And when one is clean on the inside, radiant energy and a body that melts off fat are the result. Who can ask for more that that?
I always advise my clients to consume a wide variety of rainbow colors and to eat colorful meals. Colorful fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients and enzymes. These minerals and vitamins will help to alleviate digestive problems and help to clean out the digestive tract. The result is feeling more energized shedding pounds like crazy. In no time, you will look and feel better than ever.
