Number one, you should always consult a physician before beginning a juice fast. Only the healthy should juice fast. Always drink lots of water during your juicer fast detox. You should drink a minimum of one-half gallon of water every day. I recommend drinking  a full gallon.

You may experience some common temporary side effects when starting a juice fast. Some of those side effects include bad breath, increased body odor, tiredness, headaches, constipation, hypoglycemia, and acne. If you experience any more serious side effects, you should see a doctor immediately.

Grapefruit juice is not recommended during a juice fast detox. There is a compound in grapefruit juice that changes the way certain prescription drugs metabolize. Pomegranate juice may also contain the same compound so it should also not be used.

The following people should not try a juice fast.

• People should not juice fast before or after surgery
• Pregnant or nursing women
• People with diabetes or other blood sugar problems
• People with kidney or liverdisease
• Epileptics
• People with low blood pressure
• Underweight people or those with anemia
• Children should not juice fast

Now on to the recipes! Here are a few to get you started. Not only are these combinations recommended for a juice fast, you can use these recipes to create new and different juices in your Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. I’ll provide a link to even more recipes and valuable information below.

• One of the most refreshing power juicer drinks is made by combining cantaloupes and watermelons. Remove the rinds before you juice.
• Cranberries are a wonderful detox diet fruit. They are very helpful in that they support the cleansing of toxins from your system. Fresh cranberry juice has been used as a remedy for kidney ailments for many years. Cranberry juice can be mixed with other juices to form surprisingly delicious new flavors.
• Juice one apple, two oranges, a cup of raw broccoli (always use raw fruits and vegetables) and a cup of cauliflower in your Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. This delicious combination contains vitamins and minerals such as calcium and magnesium and is a known cure for headaches and hangovers. The vitamin C from the oranges will help cleanse and detoxify your system.
• If you have problems with anxiety you might try drinking the juice from celery, spinach and beets. Mix them together and get a delightful juice. Run two ribs of celery, a handful of spinach, and a small beet root through your Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. This is a very powerful detox recipe.
