Taking the juices

Hunger vs. Appetit
Are there any differences at all? – Yes, appetite describes a physical state in which one has a desire to eat something specific.

During the juice cleanse, we develop a heightened awareness of true hunger and can better distinguish in the future when the body is hungry and when it feels appetite.
Exercise during your juice cleanse

Possible reactions of the body
Especially during the first two to three days, certain side effects may occur. While this isn't the norm, it's also no cause for concern. The body is simply resetting itself – fasting is an ancient tradition. It's possible that you'll experience a stronger sensitivity to cold during a juice cleanse and feel cold more often than usual. This is partly due to the absence of warm foods, which significantly reduces your body's energy supply. Additionally, the chilled juices consumed daily naturally intensify this sensation.
Recommendation: Start your day with a hot cup of tea. Drink tea regularly throughout the day as well. It warms you from the inside and gives you a pleasant, comforting feeling.
During a juice fast, you may experience fatigue. This is partly due to the lack of caffeine and sugar, as coffee is a popular stimulant to which our bodies quickly become accustomed. Additionally, depending on your individual constitution, your body experiences a significant calorie reduction, from which it would normally draw energy. Furthermore, your body is focusing on the fasting phase and therefore needs rest and a bit more sleep. However, these symptoms of fatigue will not last longer than the juice fast itself.
Recommendation: Drink enough water or Vitamin water . Allow your body to recover and focus on the fasting phase.

However, just like fatigue, this phenomenon is specific to the duration of the juice cleanse and a a few days later limited.
Recommendation: Drink water to support the fasting phase and use cold nettle tea as a cleansing facial toner.
