Possibly a silly question

[Firicia]

I have a currious question... if one is fasting is ok to have carbonated mineral water with your juice, like to make a fizzy drink? Or would that be bad for your health some how cuz of the salt, could it hurt you? Thanks! I've been currious about this for a while:)

[dreamrawalwz]

Haha, I was going to ask the same thing!

I don't know if you would "feel" anything..mmm? I only drink water unless I decide to make a juice or smoothie. Carbonated drinks (water included) are not good for you whether your fasting or not- that's just my humble opinion though.

I add a little ginger root to my juice, it reminds me of a fizzy water. Just send it thru your juicer with all the veggies. about a 1/4-1/2 inch piece.

Carbonated drinks period creates gas in the body. Clearly would be unhealthy and even more damaging while fasting.

No. Carbonation is unhealthy, honestly.
Do some kombucha tea here and there for the same effect, but healthier.

No! Carbonated water is acid for your body (leaves an acid residue):
