The Many Benefits of Fasting! Throughout the ages, the benefits of fasting have been known and experienced by mankind. Virtually every spiritual path and holy book focuses on fasting as a means of spiritual upliftment and enlightenment.
If your blood, colon, liver or lymph are toxic, you will experience many symptoms, especially pain, that can be greatly relieved or eliminated through fasting. It is necessary that the digestive system get a rest every now and then, especially if there is a health problem. When an animal becomes ill, often the first thing it does is stop eating. This is because even animals know that when illness is present, the body's energies are needed for healing, not for digestion. One of the main benefits of fasting is that it aids and accelerates the healing process.

The colon will begin the cleansing process. Enemas and/or colonic irrigations will help (don't overdo). Take some colon cleansing herbs such as senna, slippery elm or psyllium husk powder. Perhaps pick up one of the many excellent colon cleansing kits from the health food store. Be sure to take your probiotics daily. Remember, all disease starts in the colon, so disease prevention is another benefit of fasting. Colon cleansing is only one of the many benefits of fasting. Fasting also removes toxins and poisons from the blood, liver and lymphatic system, the body's main drain. So fasting is one very important tool in the healing process because so much disease is caused by toxic overload (poisons in the earth, water, air and food).

When breaking a fast, start with a fruit smoothie or a cold soup. Sip on these slowly. Do not gulp. Click here and scroll down to bottom of page for recipes. Try not to have anything else for the first day. When you do introduce additional foods, keep drinking the smoothies and cold soups, perhaps adding some PowerUp. These are some of the healthiest foods you could ever eat. When you do start introducing additional foods, eating natural, whole foods is a must for maintaining the benefits of fasting. Progress will occur by simply taking herbs and nutrients, but if the diet consists of denatured, adulterated foods, healing will not be permanent. Remember, red meat, fried foods, dairy products, fast food, most snack foods and sugary concoctions all clog up the colon and toxify your blood, liver and lymph. Eliminate or at least cut down on these.
Let's face it, fasting is not easy, but if you can maintain enough discipline to stick it out, even for a few days,you will be blessed with the incredible benefits of fasting. The minute you break the fast and the suffering ends, the joy, happiness and sense of well being begins. Awesome feelings of youthfulness, vibrancy and brand newness arise. Your skin is glowing. You're sleeping well. You're calm and relaxed, but alert and aware. Chronic ailments and pain are kicked to the curb. You have unlimited energy and feel like you're on top of the world!
