Water Fasting For Health: My Experiences (Video).

Alright, I admit my health has been slacking for a few months now. Last year I was a juicing machine…I lost 15 pounds in a month and a half with light to moderate exercise. I was super health concious and was full of energy and less pain. This year I have really messed with my body. Waffle house has become my buddy…i adore crab rangoon….and I havn’t been juicing. Oh my lordy do I need to get back on a more healthy lifestyle. I have decided enough is enough. I’m tired of not having as much energy, having back pain, and my skin taking forever to clear up. I have decided to go on a water fast for ten days. Although, this isn’t a very long water fast but at least it’s a start. I have decided not to fail like my last four attempts last year. The longest water fast I have ever been able to do is four days and I would always fail and eat peanut butter. I don’t even like peanut butter that much.

The Benefits Of Water Fasting

Here is some content from the bragg website about fasting:

When we fast (stop eating), all the Vital Force that was being used to convert food into energy is now being used to flush poisons from the body! When Patricia and I travel throughout America and the world lecturing, we are fortunate to know health-minded people everywhere. We are usually well-supplied with organically homegrown fruits and vegetables from their health gardens. But sometimes only commercially grown foods are available, which may have been sprayed with poisonous pesticides. But, we fast faithfully to cleanse toxins out, even when traveling, one 24 hour fast weekly.

I do four 7 to 10 day fasting periods yearly. When I go on a 7 to 10 day complete water fast, I take a specimen of my urine each morning upon arising. I put it in a small labeled bottle to let it cool and settle. In a few days, I can see little crystals forming in the urine. I have had my urine examined for chemicals, and the examiner has told me time and time again that traces of DDT and other deadly pesticide residues have appeared in my urine. On one occasion, I took a 21 day complete water fast. On the 19th day, I had terrible pains in my bladder. When I urinated it felt like red hot water passing through me. I had this urine examined and sure enough, it was filled with DDT and other poisons!

A great feeling of energy flowed over my body when this poison had passed out of it. The whites of my eyes were as clear as new snow. My body took on a pink glow and my energy surged. Now, remember I had been fasting for 19 days. Yet, I drove from Pasadena, California to Mt. Wilson, which is six thousand feet high, and climbed the trail with absolutely no fatigue! I ran with ease most of the way down the winding trail. I felt that a tremendous burden had been lifted from my body! In my personal opinion, fasting is the only way to rid the body of the many commercial poisons found in foods (bragg).

Preparing For A Water Fast

Today I have had one tall glass of kale, spinach, and carrot juice. I’m going to drink juices for about three days before I start any kind of water fast so I can prepare my body. After you water fast don’t give up like me and eat solid food like peanut butter…your stomach will hurt so bad! Plus, it’s not good frot he body in any shape or form. Eat some watermelon or juice a watermelon for at least two days after the fast.

Stay groovy!
