Juice fasting (also known as "juice cleansing") is a fasting method and a detox diet where a person consumes only fruit and vegetable juices to obtain nutrition while otherwise abstaining from food consumption. The health benefits are unproven. Juice fasts may last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. The juice consumed during a juice fast is not the type commercially available, but rather that produced from freshly juiced fruits and vegetables.

Famous quotes containing the words juice and/or fasting:

—Emily Carr (1871–1945)
“Did the first men who thought of fasting put themselves on this regimen on their physician’s order, because they had indigestion?”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
