Juice fasting (also known as “juice cleansing”) is a controversial fasting method and a detox diet in which a person consumes only fruit and vegetable juices to obtain nutrition while otherwise abstaining from food consumption.

The health benefits are unproven, with many health professionals raising warning signals – so for those of you who may be considering such a diet, you can find out more about the diet at Juice Cafe in Lancaster’s Market Street tomorrow night (Thursday 29th August), where folk will be on hand to offer samples, testimonials, the science bit and more

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.

The event starts at 5.30pm and runs until 7.00pm.
