But how long do you need to fast to achieve this effect? At Sap.je you can order a juice cure for 1 day, but also for 3, 5, or 7 days. Want to know which is the best choice for you? Then read on quickly!
Juice fasting for beginners: 1-3 days
If you are going juice fasting for the first time, it is wise to build up slowly. Even 1 day of juice fasting has an effect and can support your health. However, doing a detox for several days offers your body more support. As a result, you may experience more effects, but these are not always immediately positive. You may experience symptoms such as headaches, excessive sweating, restless sleeping, muscle pain and fatigue. Especially if you normally drink a lot of coffee, smoke, eat unhealthy food or take drugs, you may experience these. These complaints are a natural part of the juice fasting process and usually go away after a day or two. After that, you often feel better and more energetic. Still, we advise beginners to try a juice fast for 1 or 3 days the first time. That way you can see how your body reacts to it and possibly try a longer cleanse next time. It’s also smart to pay close attention to our advice on preparing for your detox cleanse and resuming your eating habits afterwards.

Advanced juice fasting: 5 or 7 days
Do you already have experience with juice fasting and want to see if you can keep it up longer? Then you can order a juice fast of 5 or 7 days. Because you only take in healthy nutrients for a longer period of time, this will give your body a big boost. Once you get through the first few days, you can experience a lot of physical energy and mental clarity. That sounds very appealing, of course, but even as an experienced juice fiend, it’s important to keep listening to your body. Do you doubt whether you should continue? Then you can always call or email Sap.je for advice. Also remember that you can stop now and resume your detox cleanse at a later time. After all, the juices are delivered frozen and can retain their nutrients in the freezer for months. So you can always do another 2-day fast a week later. These don’t even have to be consecutive days: Fasting once on Monday and once on Friday also works. Variety is also important when it comes to juice fasting. Read more about cleansing your body here.
Vary the length of your juice fast cleanse
In prosperous countries like ours, food is actually always within reach these days. It used to be different. Our ancestors were more dependent on the seasons and other circumstances. As a result, they regularly went a few days without food. Fortunately, our bodies are very adaptable. Precisely because of that adaptability, you can also get used to juice fasting, if you always do it according to a fixed pattern. In our experience, it is therefore better to vary the length and frequency of your detox. So, to keep training your body’s adaptability, it is smart to follow a 3-day juice fast one month, then a 5-day juice fast two months later, and then a 2-day juice fast the following month. See for yourself which schedule fits well with your daily activities. For example, you might find it easier to do long juice fasts in the summer than in the winter. That way you can fit the variation into your life nicely and take full advantage of the benefits.
