Anyway, I have toyed with a juice fast and I have actually inadvertently encouraged other people to start juicing because of a podcast I started back in February. I interviewed 2 different people who love juicing and they shared the great health benefits. All that is fine and dandy but I still like to chew my food, so I'm a bit stubborn and reluctant, I guess.<br /><br />I like my coffee too and have considered the impacts of giving it up, if and when I finally decide to do my juice fast. However, I do like my sugar free french vanilla creamer and truvia added (I can't do black). Thanks for asking the question here. It helps me :)<br /><br />Thanks also for posting your journey with juicing too. I think juicing is great and definitely has it's benefits. I did a 1 day juice fast (that's all I could do) and realized I was going about it all wrong.<br /><br />Good luck with your health and juicing experience :)Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482752255763219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543132079513645537.post-88004691180935580802013-03-20T18:06:33.267-07:002013-03-20T18:06:33.267-07:00Kathymom, You are absolutely right!

My friend Vincent provided an article, and some of his personal expertise and experience regarding the cons of Agave. Here is an article he shared with me. I hope you find it as informative as I have. <br />http://blog.integrativenutrition.com/2013/01/agave-nectar-how-bad-or-good-is-it-for-your-health<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248995558211887796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543132079513645537.post-82251019011212215432013-03-11T17:23:57.415-07:002013-03-11T17:23:57.415-07:00Thanks to all for your reviews and comments on thi...Thanks to all for your reviews and comments on this post. I've learned a great deal from you, Kelli, Stephen, Scott, and Vincent. You all had very interesting points... mostly you've all given me permission to continue on drinking my coffee (as long as it's fair trade... as scott indicated.)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248995558211887796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543132079513645537.post-23972239558680627482013-03-10T21:28:18.526-07:002013-03-10T21:28:18.526-07:00Pure black coffee certainly has it's benefits,...Pure black coffee certainly has it's benefits, and that's not debatable. However, you asked about coffee during a cleanse. <br /><br />Many people adovcating for cleanses speak about "balancing your pH levels." The scale ranges 1-14 with 7.0 being neutral anything below - increasingly acidic and anything above - increasingly alkaline. Your body naturally keeps an alkaline state between 7.35-7.45. If you fall above or below this your body will go into alkalosis or acidosis, respectively. A cleanse won't making any significant changes in these levels. <br /><br />A probable goal of some cleanses may be to wean individuals from certain highly acidic foods that over time can disrupt metabolic activities and lead to negative health consequences. Coffee is generally considered moderately acidic, depending on the bean. The real culprits are soda, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, white sugar, white flours etc. <br /><br />Coffee on a 30 or even 90 day + cleanse will not be detrimental to your progress and overall health, in moderation. Keep it up! I'm excited to hear about your journey.

Now, this doesn't mean you should have a latte, or mocha, or anything other than the coffee itself. That's where the perks are (pun intended). <br /><br />Ultimately it all boils down to how much you really want it. You can live without it...You can. I can't. :) I really think that it really has its benefits and it tastes good so why not? <br /><br />Enjoy your coffee! If you want some good beans I can point you in the right direction. There are plenty of beans and ways to brew the coffee so you don't need any of the added calories/sugar stuffs.<br /><br />http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/coffee-new-health-food<br /><br />http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/coffee-and-health/AN01354Kelli https://www.blogger.com/profile/03402362210417991544noreply@blogger.com
