Since digestion is a huge issue for some of us I wondered if it would help the digestive system if only liquids were consumed. Has anyone tried a liquid diet? I mean it is very important to watch your vitamin and mineral intake but a liquid diet can deliver all of those in enough quantities if done properly. I only thought to stay on a liquid diet for maybe 3-4 days and see what happens. Does anyone have some scientific info about liquid diets or can anyone offer personal experience?
I only found this non scientific abstract:
"What are the benefits of a liquid diet?
A liquid diet is extremely useful when your digestive system needs restoration. Liquids are easily digested and help in quick nutrient absorption. A liquid diet is the best way to rest and even cleanse your digestive systems since clear liquids help to drain out the toxins and waste from the body. A liquid diet provides the doctors optimum conditions for conducting certain medical tests and surgeries that require a patients intestine to be devoid of solid food. Although some people believe that a liquid diet aids weight loss, it is not prescribed for weight loss but only for the restoration of digestive tract and aid the other medical procedures."
