What types of fasting are there?
Fasting has been used for thousands of years as an effective means of cleansing the body, promoting health and rejuvenating the mind. Even the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Greeks - such as Pythagoras and the philosopher Plato - are said to have fasted. Various types of fasting have prevailed up to the present day, such as therapeutic fasting, water fasting, alkaline fast ing and juice fasting.
The different types of fasting have one goal in common: to relieve and cleanse the body! This is achieved by reducing energy intake, for example by abstaining from solid food for a certain period of time. Among the various fasting methods, juice fasting and water fasting have become particularly popular in recent years.
What is the difference between water fasting and juice fasting?
Water fasting is the strictest form of fasting, as only water and herbal teas are allowed. All metabolic processes are reduced to a minimum - this promotes cellular regeneration and cleansing of the entire body. However, existing energy depots are used to provide the necessary energy, for example from protein compounds in the muscles. After a few days, the body also switches to the so-called phase metabolism. This means that a large number of micronutrients are not available due to a lack of food intake. Here too, the body draws on existing nutrient stores.
Juice fasting, on the other hand, supplies the body with numerous vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. The basis of juice fasting is the daily consumption of freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices - solid foods are completely avoided. The detoxification processes in the body are supported and the necessary energy is obtained from the carbohydrates contained in the fruit and vegetables during the fasting period without attacking existing deposits.
What are the benefits of juice fasting with a juice diet?
Nutrient supply
One of the great benefits of juice fasting is the continuous supply of essential nutrients. Freshly squeezed juices are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes that fuel the body during the fasting process. This provides vital nutrients even during the fasting period, supporting energy levels and preventing nutritional deficiencies.
Improved detoxification
Juice fasting offers a more complete detoxification experience compared to water fasting. The enzymes and phytonutrients contained in fresh juices help to remove toxins and waste products from the body. The nourishing juices also support liver function, stimulate cellular rejuvenation and promote overall cleansing of the body.
Stabilized energy levels
While water fasting can lead to a drop in energy levels due to zero calorie intake, juices provide a continuous source of energy during juice fasting. The natural sugars in fruit and vegetable juices are easy to digest and provide a steady stream of glucose for the body. This helps to maintain physical energy levels during the fasting period, promotes mental clarity and provides physical vitality.
Improved nutrient absorption
During juice fasting, the absence of fiber allows for improved nutrient absorption. The enzymes in fresh juices help to break down the nutrients and increase their bioavailability to the body. This ensures that the body can effectively absorb and utilize the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants contained in the juices to maximize the health benefits.
Sustainability and variety
Juice fasting offers a more sustainable approach compared to water fasting, making it easier to stick to over longer periods of time. The variety of flavors and combinations of fruit and vegetable juices makes the fasting experience much more enjoyable - and can contribute to long-term success.

With DALUMA's juice cures, you can give your body a holistic reset. Our juices have been developed 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 the body, good for the environment!
Conclusion
Over the millennia, various ways of fasting and detoxifying the body have developed. Nowadays, water fasting and juice fasting are particularly popular. While water fasting is based on a pure intake of water and herbal teas, juice fasting involves the daily consumption of fruit and vegetable juices. This provides the body with valuable micro and macronutrients. The juices provide the body with a daily portion of energy, which has a positive effect on the fasting processes in the body. In addition to providing nutrients and improving nutrient absorption, the body's energy levels are stabilized and detoxification processes are stimulated. The different juices also offer daily variety.
When choosing a juice diet, it is important to pay attention to the quality. Because not all juice cures are the same! Our DALUMA juice cures have been developed with a holistic view of the body and are characterized by an optimal composition of macronutrients, a particularly high density of micronutrients, the organic quality of the ingredients used and their cold-pressing process, which ensures that all the ingredients 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!
