Tips for fasting: It has been proven that during fasting and detoxification programs, the medical and other problems people suffer from reduce and become almost negligible, if done correctly. If you do it properly, you will be happy, confident and expect positive changes in your life. Some of the fasting tips mentioned below will help you in performing the act properly.
How to Start Fasting Safely?
When you get on to a fasting program, begin with a moderate approach and work your way up to a stricter program. For beginners, it is good to begin fasting with a little bit of eating each day. Your fast should extend to a 12-14 hour period in the evening and while you sleep and until you are ready for the day.
To prepare for the first day of fasting, you might need a few days to get rid of some food habits such as alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, red meats, and poultry. Limit the intake of nutritional supplements and eat only fruit and vegetables as these nourish and detoxify the body.
If you fast for a day, you won’t find it difficult to do. Perhaps you will feel hungry, get a headache or be irritable, but this is normal for the first couple of days, if your fast is longer. Usually, from day 3 onwards, you begin to adjust better to the program.
To avoid such symptoms, have one meal a day at 3 p.m., comprising water, juices, tea and fresh fruit or vegetable snacks. This can be a protein-vegetable meal or a starch-vegetable meal. If you begin with this, you detox slowly and lose a little weight and feel good too. This is encouraging for you and mentally you will be ready for the fast.
Once you achieve success there, go on to a one-day fast and then to a two- and three-day fast, and between them have light food comprising raw fruits and vegetables and juices and soups to cleanse your system. In this way, you can build up to a five- to ten-day fast.
A juice fast is easier to live on, and people don’t miss not eating solids. You can have fruit or vegetable juice that is rich in calories and nutrients that can build new cells and provide the inherent enzymes these vital foods contain.
To be successful in your fast, you need to move through the stages of detoxification to the more intense fasting by listening to your body and maintaining notes in a diary. Depending on your progress, you can move on to one-day fasts weekly or a three-day fast every month.
While you fast, remember to avoid eating sugar and refined foods and fatty foods. During the cleansing period, make time to meditate, exercise, get fresh air and sunshine, get a massage, clean your house and brush your skin. Below are some of the valuable tips on fasting.
Fasting Tips:
So, how does it feel to go on a fast? Think you can do it? Why not-all it needs is determination and the will to succeed, and you’re sure to succeed.
Who should NEVER Fast?
