“ Menstrual cycles. I am finding that the longer I am raw, and even on this juice feast thus far, my cycles have become increasingly mild. Before I got into any sort of natural health, I had very heavy cycles - usually about a week with a heavy flow and a lot of other symptoms such as intense cramps, back pain, headaches, fatigue, and crazy cravings. When I developed the eating disorder my cycle actually totally disappeared for over a year. It came back when I got on the AIM program, and this time it was much milder. However, even since it came back, and as my diet gets more pure and my body more healthy, it is amazing to see the changes in this part of my life. These days, my cycle is maybe three days, a very light flow, and I have: zero cramping, zero cravings, the exact same energy level, no headaches, no back pain (occasional, very mild soreneness). I literally barely notice I am even having it. As I said, since starting this juice feast, I would estimate my menstrual symptoms have decreased another 15% (to try to put a measurement) than they were before the juice feast (and even then, they were mild). I truly don’t believe we HAVE to go through this dreaded thing called PMS symptoms, and we CAN change our experience of our cycle by adopting a purer diet, natural lifestyle, and in my recommendation and experience, energetic balancing has helped. Because my cycle arrives with near to zero side effects, I feel gratitude every time for this womanly experience.
