What characterizes the two types of fasting?
During a juice fast, only freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices are consumed and solid food is avoided. This approach enables a concentrated absorption of nutrients and a recovery of the digestive system.
Buchinger fasting, named after Dr. Otto Buchinger, is a fasting method that combines a calorie-reduced diet with a predominantly liquid diet. Only 250-500 calories are consumed per day, mainly in the form of vegetable broths, herbal teas and a small amount of fruit juices, which are consumed throughout the day.
What are the similarities and differences?
Both Buchinger fasting and juice fasting are forms of therapeutic fasting in which solid food is avoided and liquids play a central role.
Fluid intake
Both Buchinger fasting and juice fasting avoid solid food during the fasting period. This allows the body to relieve itself and concentrate on cleansing and regeneration. Both fasting methods rely on sufficient fluid intake. While Buchinger fasting mainly involves drinking vegetable broth, herbal teas and sometimes fruit and vegetable juices, a juice cure consists exclusively of freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices.
Calorie content
Buchinger fasting allows for a certain calorie intake through the liquids that are consumed. Only 250-500 calories are consumed per day. Depending on the quantity of juices and liquids, more or fewer calories can be consumed during juice fasting. During the DALUMA juice fast, you consume 700-800 calories per day.
Detoxification and regeneration
Both Buchinger fasting and juice fasting aim to detoxify and regenerate the body. Abstaining from solid food and drinking fluids supports this process by giving the body the opportunity to rid itself of toxins and heal itself.
Duration of fasting
Buchinger fasting is usually carried out over a period of 7-14 days, but can also be individually adapted. With juice fasting, the duration can also vary, but it is often practiced for shorter periods of 1-7 days. A juice fast can therefore be carried out more spontaneously and fits better into an often tight schedule.
Health support
Both Buchinger fasting and juice fasting are often used as part of health and wellness programs. Both methods can help to improve the metabolism, strengthen the immune system, regulate body weight and increase general well-being.
Which fasting method is right for me?
Choosing the right juice cure depends on various individual factors, such as your individual goals, health requirements and lifestyle. However, the general rule is: the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Everyone is unique and what works for others may not necessarily be right for you. It can be helpful to try out different fasting methods and observe how your body reacts to them. Pay attention to your physical and mental reactions and choose a fast that feels good and has positive effects on you. To familiarize yourself with fasting, it is advisable to start with a short period of time. A juice fast, which is usually carried out over 3-7 days, is particularly suitable for this.
Our recommendation for you:
With DALUMA's juice cures, you can give your body a holistic reset. Our juices have been developed by experts with a holistic view of the body to create an optimal composition of macronutrients such as carbohydrates and proteins. The particularly high density of micronutrients in the form of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants also promotes their function as bio-catalysts for metabolic and cell formation processes in the body and enhances the holistic regenerative effect. The special cold-pressing process ensures that all ingredients are preserved in the best possible way. This ensures that you receive all the important vitamins and minerals during the juice cure.
Our juices also contain no harmful or toxic substances that could impair the desired effects of the juice cure. This is because pesticides and fungicides used in conventional agriculture can have negative effects on all cellular and metabolic processes. This is why organic quality is a must for us, for the holistic protection of the environment and the body. This is why we deliberately do not use any petroleum-based plastic products, but only biodegradable polymers based on renewable raw materials (PLA), which have a significantly reduced ecological footprint: Good for your body, good for the environment! We offer our juices as a juice cure as well as individually. They can therefore also be used as a supplement for Buchinger fasting.
Conclusion
Fasting according to Dr. Buchinger and juice fasting are both based on the approach of a liquid intake of nutrients. While the former mainly involves vegetable broths and herbal teas, a juice fast consists of a variety of freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices that are drunk at regular intervals. What both types of fasting have in common is that solid food is avoided in order to relieve the body and enable the detox processes in the body. They both rely on an adequate intake of fluids. Both methods can help to improve the metabolism, strengthen the immune system, regulate body weight and increase general well-being. While Buchinger fasting is carried out over a period of 7-14 days, a juice cure takes place over a shorter period of 1-7 days. A juice cure is therefore particularly suitable as an introduction to fasting.
Our DALUMA juice cures have been developed with holistic consideration of the body and are characterized by an optimal composition of macronutrients, the particularly high density of micronutrients, organic quality of the ingredients used and their pressing in the cold pressing process, whereby all valuable nutrients, minerals and antioxidants are preserved in the best possible way. In addition, all juices are in bottles based on polymers (PLA) made from renewable raw materials - for your better juice cure!
