Have a Rest on Fasting Time
By Phil on Apr. 12, 2009.
Read this carefully, this is suggested by Ilchi Lee founder of Yoga.A lot of force is spent for the period of fast in the process of eliminating accumulated poisons and toxic waste materials. It is, consequently, of utmost importance that the patients get as much physical rest and mental relaxation as possible during the fast.
In cases of fasts in which fruit juices are taken, particularly when fresh grapes, oranges or grapefruit are used absolutely, the toxic wastes enter the blood -stream quickly, resulting in an excess of toxic matter, which have an effect on normal bodily functions. This often results in shaky spells, followed by diarrhea and vomiting. If this physical response persists, it is sensible to put an end to the fast and take cooked vegetables containing sufficient roughage such as spinach and beets until the body functioning returns to normal.
The overweight person finds it much easier to go without food. Loss of weight causes no fright and the patient’s manner makes fasting almost a delight. The first day’s hunger stitch are maybe the most difficult to bear. The desire for food will, however, step by step decrease as the fast progresses. Critically sick persons have no desire for food and fasting comes naturally to them. The simplest rule is to stop eating until the hunger returns or until one feels completely well.
