Early on along this “health journey”, I listened to a tape series by a speaker named Ted Broer.   He shared a lot of good health information, but included something that sounded a bit bazaar.  He said  . . . “I don’t eat two months out of the year”.    That statement caused me to listen a little more intently to the next few minutes of his presentation, that is for sure!   “Wow, how could that be?”  I remember thinking.   Thankfully he didn’t leave me hanging too long for his explanation.   He went on to say that it was his routine to fast one day a week (52 days) and one week a year (7 days).  Fifty-two days + seven days = fifty-nine days = two months!   While that certainly sounded more “do-able”, and just a tiny bit intriguing, at the time I had no interest in fasting for one day much less two months a year!  Several years later however, after making some major changes in my diet & lifestyle and learning a bit more about fasting,  I decided to undertake my first 7 day juice fast.  After that seven day period, I just “naturally” flowed into juice fasting one day a week.  In addition to my weekly juice fast day, I now routinely do a juice fast every January that lasts at least one week (although I often extend it for a bit longer).  I count my fasting routine as one of the many aspects of this health journey that has provided amazing benefits and blessings in my life.  As I mentioned earlier in this blog, this January I am planning to do a 30 day juice fast. 

30 DAYS OF CLEANSING - FASTING, CLEANSING & DETOX EMAIL LIST

If you would like to know more about cleansing the body through fasting, consider signing up for my Fasting, Cleansing & Detox email list that I will be offering again this year.   You can sign up to get the regular educational emails simply to learn more about the subject, or you can participate by joining in on any part of the cleanse/fast, at any level desired.  In the emails, I will provide information on different types of cleansing routines. Juice fasting is not right for everyone, and there are other cleansing approaches that can be very beneficial that you may prefer.  You will be free to implement what is comfortable for you.  And you certainly don’t have to follow your cleansing routine for the full 30 days, unless you feel led to do so.  If you sign up for the list, the emails you will receive will provide some basic information on:

• The cleansing and healing process
