Did you know that over time our body’s can experience a build up of toxins and chemicals from the foods we choose to eat, the chemicals we breathe in the air and absorb through our skin? This type of build up can really inhibit our health on more levels than one and the best way to rectify this solution is fasting. Fasting can help detoxify the body and cleanse it of the toxins and chemicals that can eventually cause problems throughout the body such as gallbladder conditions, colon disorders and other types of chronic conditions. By riding the body of the requirements to digest the foods we eat, fasting allows your digestive system to eliminate the toxins and chemicals naturally.

Fasting is not something you have to be ill to take advantage of, the benefits of fasting can assist everyone’s health to a more beneficial level. By choosing to fast on a regular basis you are literally giving your organs a break and allowing them to cleanse your body of toxins and chemicals that can make you feel less energetic and even depressed if the build up goes on for too long. During the fasting process you are literally reducing the amount of toxins that enter your body and allowing your body to continue the excretion process for overall toxin reduction. From here the energy that would normally be used for the digestion process is redirected to contribute to your overall immune function and cell growth to further help the excretion of toxins and chemicals.

The immune system’s functions are greatly reduced during the fasting process, which allows your digestive tract to do its job more efficiently and therefore eliminate the risk of inflammation. Lastly, your fat-stored chemicals such as pesticides and drugs are released from the body as well. The fasting process promotes a healthier way of eating and living when you begin to feel just what true health really is and how far from it you have been in the past. Let’s go through the fasting process so everyone is clear on how to utilize it properly.

• To prepare for a fast eat only raw vegetables and fruits for 2 days prior.
  
  
• During the fast make sure to consume at least ten 8 ounce glasses of pure water per day as well as 2 glasses of fresh fruit juice and up to 2 cups of herbal tea to avoid dehydration that can inhibit the cleansing process.
  
  
• Avoid all juices that contain additives or artificial sweeteners.
  
  
• Making your own juice from vegetables or fruit is the best way to assist in the cleansing process.
  
  
• The first meal after your fast should be frequent and small because your stomach size is now smaller and your body has to readjust to cooked foods once again.
  
  
• Consider taking a fiber supplement before and after your fast, but not during.

No matter what your age or current health situation, fasting is the perfect solution to built up toxins and everyone has them. This is a completely safe process and drinking the vegetable and fruit juices allows your body to maintain the nutrients it needs in order to complete the cleansing process.
