Let's talk a little bit about a grape fast. My name is Mark Brinson, Doctor of Oriental
Medicine, Physical Medicine and Human Performance Specialist. Many times people choose a juice
or a fruit or a combination fast in order to kind of cleanse a certain area of the body
or to kind of break themselves in for a longer fast or something that has to do with no food
whatsoever. A grape fast is a particularly good one. We're talking about purple grapes,
either purple grape and or grape juice added to it, that you're going to take anywhere
from 24, 48 or maybe even 36 hours. The idea behind a grape fast is that whenever you're
hungry you're going to physically eat grapes, try to include the seeds as well and when
you're thirsty you're drinking water or you can add natural grape juice with no sugar
added. What this is going to do, grapes are particularly good for clearing out the intestines
and cleansing the blood. So as they get into the system and they start to get into the
large intestines they, instead of just moving through or nutrients being sucked into the
body, it almost creates a sucking like effect where things are being pulled, toxins are
being pulled out of the body and out through the intestines. The addition of the grape
instead of just the grape juice is going to add that component of kind of a scrubbing
or a slothing that's going to happen throughout the large intestines, that's going to help
to clear away any debris that might be there. So I encourage you to do this, it can be one
of the best things that you can do for your health if done periodically and to keep your
intestines and your immune system clean and clear. My name is Mark Brinson, Doctor of
Oriental Medicine, Physical Medicine and Human Performance Specialist wishing you a happy,
healthy and balanced day.
