What types of vegetable juice are best for fasting?

What type of vegetable juice is best for fasting? I’m getting a bit tired of the “vedge” blend I’m drinking right now. I know about carrot juice, and I’ll pick some up at the store next time I’m there tonight. Are there other vegetable juices (not blends) that are worth drinking?

Dear thedude, While one-day fasts pose no serious threat for healthy adults, longer fasts (more than 24 hours) can have grave results. Whether it’s a “water-only” fast used to detox, skipping meals or subsisting only on a liquid diet (fruit juice), the body only recognizes one thing – starvation. When you don’t consume enough calories to sustain essential functions (i.e. keeping the heart beating or the lungs breathing), the body reacts by drawing on its own reserves to provide energy. This puts your body under stress – not rest. Sue…good luck
