If a balanced
diet with the right intake of vitamins and diet are just essential for the
proper functioning of our body, it is advisable to do a fast time to time to
clean the body of toxins that can clog.
But, do not fast
and no matter how fast is long, it must be better prepared.
Fasting: good or bad for health?
What is fasting?
Fasting is a
period shorter or longer - from 1 day to several weeks - where you stop eating
and drinking.
A personal habit
of healthy living: this is the case, when we want to clean our body of its
excess;
It may also have
a religious purpose: the fast of Lent for Christians or Ramadan for Muslims.
Ramadan fasting
is not to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset for one lunar month. The Lenten
fast is to restrict his diet during the 40 days before Easter, fasting is more
pronounced Friday. Formerly, Lent meant severe restrictions on meats, sugars,
etc... And now Lent is less and less strict monitoring and the choice of
deprivation remains free.
The phenomenon of
autolysis (self-absorption) is for the body to dip into its reserves:
It will fetch in
the "secondary" substances, which are not essential to the body;
by a kind of
phenomenon of internal combustion, toxins and all that is in excess will be
purified through eliminative parts of the body: the excretory organs (kidneys, lungs, skin, liver and intestines ).
How fasted
On a more
hygienic and non religious point of view, fasting for therapeutic purposes must
prepare.
If you've never
practiced, it is first necessary to contact a doctor or naturopath to ensure
that your health allows. It is indeed not advisable to fast when one is ill or
pregnant.
You must then
follow the three main phases of fasting:
Preparation of
the entry in the fasting period;
Fasting period
itself;
output fast or
how to get a normal diet, which must of course be gradually
reintroducing foods in a specific order.
