FASTING is HEALING

If you want your body to heal by itself, get rid of toxins, improve your immune system, lose weight and keep your youth - all simultaneously, then fast. Fasting seems to have unlocked well guarded secrets why people during the time of Adam and Eve lived to 100 to 900 years. I is not the abstinence of food that makes people die and grow old easily. It is the indulging of excessive food that makes people degenerate faster.
Fasting can be done with just drinking water or juice. Physicians espousing spiritual medication recommend or prescribe fasting as a first line of defense in therapy or incorporate fasting in the cure protocol. But then many doctors in this present day world may not even believe in fasting because they might starve from the perks of drug companies. People must be freed from the ignorance of fasting to make this a lifestyle.
As a therapy, fasting does 5 things: 1) it cleanses or detoxifies. 2)it heals or restores, 3)it strengthens immunity, 4)it allows the body to rest, 5)it rejuvenates. While physicians, dieticians, nutritionists and fitness trainers recommend healthy and balanced diet, what they don't say is that the more you eat, the more your body works to break down food. The more you eat, the more toxins to clean in the bloodstream. That is why fasting is part of the triology of nutrition because even if you followed the nutrition food pyramid assiduously, if fasting is not incorporated, you deprive your body the chance to rest and heal.
When a person goes on a fast, the organs of the body especially the digestive system gets a break from breaking down all the food taken and toxin cleaning. The more you indulge on food, the more your body overworks and works overtime just to get that food processed into your system and release those toxins. But when you fast, the digestive system takes a break because energy is diverted away from the digestive system towards the metabolism and immune system.
Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, lever,kidneys, lungs, lymph glands and skin. Toxins in the body cause depression because the body is pollutes, the mind is compromised and the soul and spirit are troubled. Fasting precipitates detoxification because when food is no longer entering the body, the body directs its fat reserves for energy into restoration and repair of damaged organs or to strengthen the immune system. Thus the body heals with its own intelligence. Through fasting, people can turn energies inward where this can be used for healing, clarity and change in emotional and psychological demeanour. There is good evidence to prove that regulated fasting contributes to youthful and longer life.
The human body has layers of fat reserves. Overeating increases those reserves without being used. When you fast for the first 2 days, only the prevailing fat is used. When you fast for 2 more days, the reserve fat is used. These using up of reserve unwanted fats enables the body to replace itself and restore on its own. It is by this process that detoxification occurs, there is restoration and replacement, and the organs are always new and youthful. When your body uses up all its fat reserves both for energy and maintenance, it will necessarily look for nourishment. That is when you can break your fast and take in solids. It is best to eat fruits ground in a blender as the first solid meal after a fast. In the bible, Jesus and the other chosen men of God fasted for 40 days.
Be aware, when you want to fast as a healing therapy, plan out how many days you want to fast. You can fast for 2 days in a week. It is best that when you fast, you will also fast from doing work like taking a vacation from work, from cellphones, from internet. You should dedicate your days of fasting to prayer and meditation. Fasting is ineffective if you continue with your daily chores because it defeats the purpose of making your body rest.
