We all take vacations (or at least we should) from work to
relax, recharge, and gain new perspectives on our life.
So, why not take occasional breaks from food?
Fasting occurs naturally when we find ourselves not wanting
food when we are sick; this is a natural response and should
be honored because the body needs all the energy to heal,
not to digest food. Fasting is a useful therapy for so many
conditions and people, especially those who tend to develop
congestive symptoms; congestive acidic conditions include
colds, flus, bronchitis, mucous congestion, and
constipation.
Breaking the habit of eating 3 meals a day is a challenge
for most people, but as anything new, it is only challenging
at the beginning or the first time it’s done.
When we stop eating, all that digestive energy gets
re-directed into regenerating the intestinal organs and our
body goes into an elimination cycle. During sensible
fasting, the body produces new healthy cells to replace
tired, toxic cells. The toxins stored in our fat cells and
organs are rapidly released during a fast.
Many people opt for a liquid-only day each week, which
brings 52 days of cleansing to the body each year. Others
choose to do 3 days fasts each month, which give the body 30
days of fasting each year.
The best liquid to use for your fasting days is a juice
made of therapeutic herbs along with vitamins and minerals
from fruits and vegetables. The herbs can have specific
detoxifying effects while the nutrients from fruits and
vegetables can strengthen the elimination organs. To learn
