Fasting – Why You Need This Health Tool

Your health depends on healthy internal organs and a body free of toxins.

Your organs remove toxins from the body everyday, however your diet injects more toxic chemicals into the body than it can remove. The toxin backlogs and must be stored for removal later. With more toxins entering the body than it can remove each day, toxins continue to accumulate in the body.

The stored toxins eventually harm your cells, and it will lead to aches, pains and diseases.

You can give your body a chance to remove the toxins by fasting.

Fasting is a tool for detoxifying (removing toxins) and repairing the body. A fast gives the body a chance to catch up on cleansing work that it does not have time to do during normal times. You give the body this opportunity by drinking only fluids and resting for the length of the fast.

During a Fast
1. You only drink liquids such as herbal tea, fresh juice, or water
2. You do not eat solid food
3. You will do every light exercise
4. You will rest and relax most of the time

Digesting food takes a lot of energy. Dr. Isabelle Moser (author of How and When to Be Your Own Doctor) estimates that digestion use roughly 1/3 of your daily energy. When you stop eating solid food for a few days, you give the body a break from digesting. The energy freed from digesting can be used for detoxifying and repairing the body.

Work and movement also takes a lot of energy. By doing light activities and resting most of the time, you also free that energy for cleansing work.

Some work the body does during fasting
1. Repair bone and tissue
2. Remove toxic build up in the body
3. Heal organs
4. Remove tumors or useless growths
5. Burn fat for fuel

Only the body can health itself. Doctors and medicines can only removes the obstacles to allow the body to do its healing. It is the body that heals.

By learning how to fast and continuing to fast on a regular basis, you gain an important tool that allow your organs to clean and repair itself. Healthy organs and a body cleansed of toxins lead to a healthy body.
