Fasting

Fasting is an extreme form of cleansing and many like to fast during a colon cleanse. It can be very effective yet harmful if one is not ready for it.

Many people may experience electrolyte imbalance, hypoglycemia, weakness and even hair loss if they are not ready to fast. Unfortunately, this has been misinterpreted that the person cannot fast or that fasting is bad for you.

The reality is that our bodies must be properly prepared to fast and it is always best to ease into it slowly. When done correctly, we will find that fasting can be more comfortable and more productive.

It was recently discovered that fasting for one day each week has many health benefits including lower risk for heart disease and strengthened digestion.

Longer fasts have been recorded throughout history and have been used by many to help regain health. It is believed that giving digestion a rest can reset the digestive process and lessen the burden on the body giving strength to other bodily functions such as the healing process.

But jumping into a fast should never be recommended. Start slowly by first cutting out junk foods. Be sure you are drinking plenty of water. After you cut out junk foods for a few days, cut out processed and packaged foods. Next cut out milk products, then meats then breads and grains. Cut out one group for three days then the next and so on.

This is a step-by-step process that eases you into your fast. You can do this while taking cleansing supplements to receive more benefit from your cleanse.

Another approach to fasting is to be sure your body is strong enough - the stronger your body is, the easier and more productive the fast is. You can help prepare your body by drinking veggie juices and taking whole food vitamins or supplements in the days leading up to the fast.

If you are thinking about trying the Master Cleanse fast, first read the book Master Cleanse Secrets to help you do it right. This will help you to fast correctly while keeping your metabolism up, will help you to not lose your hair and will help you keep your cravings under control. This is well worth the small investment, so you don't have a bad experience.

Using these rules can help you get more benefit from your fast while keeping the risks down. Be smart and don't try to do it all at once.
