RADIANT SKIN THROUGH JUICE FASTING?
Consuming only liquids during the juice cleanse and fasting for several hours in between can have various health benefits. By eliminating solid food, daily stress and breaking with unhealthy eating routines, fasting can have a positive effect on your skin health, among other things.
Juice fasting and internal cleansing can support your skin health in various ways:
1. detoxification: During the fasting days, you give up addictive substances such as alcohol, caffeine and refined sugar, which can lead to dehydrated skin and contribute to skin ageing. You allow the body to eliminate toxins that can contribute to skin problems.
2. improve digestion: A healthy digestive system helps to eliminate waste and promote overall skin health.
3. reduced inflammation (inflammation): Fasting has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which has a positive effect on skin health. Read more about the link between inflammation and skin in this article.
4. avoid processed & sugary foods: These foods can lead to inflammation and contribute to skin problems such as acne and wrinkles. For this reason, the juices in the DALUMA juice cleanse are not diluted with sugary apple or orange juice.
5. improved insulin sensitivity: Not eating for a certain period of time and avoiding simple carbohydrates and processed sugar for several days can influence insulin sensitivity:
- Reduced glucose levels lead to a decrease in insulin secretion
- Increased cellular stress response improves glucose uptake
- Fasting can activate specific signaling pathways that improve insulin sensitivity.
However, the duration and frequency of fasting as well as individual factors such as age and health status can influence the effects on insulin sensitivity.
Improved insulin sensitivity can lead to better blood sugar control and less oxidative stress, both of which are important for skin health.
6. hormonal balance: Fasting has been shown to positively influence hormones such as growth hormone and melatonin, which are important for skin health.
7. hydration & hydration of the skin: During the juice cleanse you only consume liquids. A high fluid intake is crucial for healthy skin.
8. improvement of blood circulation: Fasting has a positive effect on the metabolic processes of our cells and can enable increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin through improved blood circulation.
9. the body's own cell renewal: The juice cleanse stimulates autophagy. This is the natural recycling program of your cells, through which old, damaged cell components are broken down to produce energy. This stimulated cell metabolism process can slow down the ageing process.
10. strengthening immunity: A strong immune system helps to fight skin infections and diseases. You can find out more about how fasting affects the immune system here.
11. intensive regeneration: By facilitating your digestion due to the absence of solid food, your body is given the opportunity to use its energy for regeneration processes. This can have a positive effect on your sleep, which is essential for skin repair and renewal.
12. stress reduction: During the DALUMA juice cleanse, you will be accompanied by the app and regularly reminded to take calming moments for self-care. This allows you to let go of daily stress, which can affect skin health and trigger skin problems such as acne and eczema.
