warm juice, is it cooked?

[MangoMadness]

when i feel my juice after juicing it is warm. i am getting worried. has it been cooked by my juicer?

Can you stick your finger in it? If you get into a hot-tub of 100 degrees, are you cooked, warm or hot? Is your juice warmer than that?

hi revvell,
yes that is true, but the particles in juice are tiny. ok, i am probably panicking for nothing, maybe its a fasting symptom.

Thing is, since your juicer heats your juice it IS a sign of faster oxidation which means it "should" be drunk asap.

If you are worried, manually crust and chop your stuff with a knife into a pulp....and then crush through a strainer. You'll get less juice - but the important thing is that you do not worry.....which is far more detrimental than a lack of enzymes! :)

LOL. okay okay, i'm done worrying. i have heard people mentioning juicers and blenders heating up and thus cooking the food, and wondered if it were true when i felt my juice was warm. it was a momentary panic after days of consuming nothing else, something i'm rather regretting verbalising ;)

Don't regret your verbalising. Sometimes you need to talk things (or write things) out to straighten out your worries. That's why we have this board! We're all here to hear your troubles. I'm wishing you the best of luck on your fast!!!!
Remember, you will eat again! I've often had mini panic attacks on fasts, thinking I might never get to eat again! :D
We are not rational beings, but rationalizing beings. It's okay to have some weird, irrational fears. It's NOT okay to let them run your life!

Do you feel glad you got it out?

By the way, I'm sure your juice is fine. It's probably about as warm as your body is, lol.

Thanks raw strength. Yes I do as a matter of fact :)
I am coming off my fast tommorrow. It was a short one, as it is my first and I am not sure if I am quite ready yet. I have had lots more detox which is great but just going to continue on the gentle journey of raw for a while.
Good luck on your fast :)
