Therapeutic one-day dry fasting: the results, how to go out correctly

Hearing the alternative expression "hunger treats," many see it as a cruel joke. Is it possible to leave the body without food containing the necessary useful substances? It turns out that it is possible, and even necessary. True, you need to do this wisely. For example, one-day fasting still did not bring anyone to the grave, but how many people helped to improve their health!

And this is not surprising. Let's recollect at least, what weariness, mental and physical exhaustion you experience, having worked almost year without holiday. But it's worth a month's rest, and you get a new powerful charge of energy. So is our body, it also needs rest to recover. And fasting is one of the ways of effective rest.

Indications

So, fasting within a reasonable framework can be considered an effective medical procedure. The minimum period of fasting is 1 day (24 or 36 hours if you discard night and evening time, as periods of low physical activity and slow metabolism). Such starvation can be safely done at home. Observations of the doctor while not required, just a preliminary consultation on the possibility of fasting with certain diagnoses.

One-day fasting is a simplified version of the traditional refusal of food for a period of more than 3 days. However, classic fasting is suitable for people who do not have significant health problems. For therapeutic purposes, fasting for more than 1 day, which is considered a more effective cleansing procedure, is carried out only under the supervision of doctors in a hospital.

Regarding starvation in medical terminology, there is even a special term "unloading-dietary therapy" (RDT), which refers to a voluntary refusal to eat for a limited time, which is carried out for medical and recreational purposes. Many days medical and sanatorium-resort institutions, individual doctors, followers of Paul Bregg, Marve Ohanyan, Alexander Voroshilov and other doctors who used special methods of treatment with hunger practice therapeutic day-long and multi-day fasting.

Long-term fasting (from 3 to 40 days) is carried out under strict supervision of the attending physician. Assign it strictly individually taking into account the existing pathology, its severity, the patient's condition, his age and some additional factors.

With a one-day fasting, everything is much easier. It has practically no contraindications, and therefore can be used for any diseases, including gastrointestinal. With some diseases of the digestive tract, such as a stomach ulcer and DPC, pancreatitis, dysbiosis with excruciating diarrhea, a short-term withdrawal from food has an effect comparable in effectiveness to the intake of medications.

Nevertheless, the following pathologies can be considered the main indications for the treatment of fasting:

• arterial hypertension 1 and 2 degrees,
• vegeto-vascular dystonia, flowing through hypertonic or mixed type,
• angina pectoris, IHD,
• obstructive bronchitis with chronic course,
• bronchial asthma,
• The first two stages of sarcoidosis of the lungs with the formation of benign granulomas in the body,
• chronic gastritis with increased or decreased production of hydrochloric acid,
• chronic course of pancreatitis, duodenitis, cholecystitis,
• peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum,
• dyskinesia of bile ducts,
• irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
• inflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system, accompanied by dystrophic changes in the tissues,
• inflammation of the appendages, which occurs with violations of the neuroendocrine plan,
• BPH,
• obesity,
• diseases of an allergic nature, including food and drug allergy,
• neurotic disorders and depression,
• schizophrenia in mild form,
• immunity to drug treatment.

There is a certain circle of doctors who believe that with the help of curative starvation you can even stop the tumor process with cancer.

Having studied the approximate list of diseases in which, according to doctors, it will be useful to conduct unloading and dietary therapy, it becomes clear that not all diseases can be hunger for a long time. For example, with gastritis with high acidity, such fasting can cause many unpleasant symptoms. While one-day fasting is not contraindicated even with this pathology.

In addition, the doctors consider it a little more useful for colds, because such a procedure will raise the immunity and focus the immune system on fighting infection and viruses.

Perhaps the reader has the erroneous impression that one-day fasting should be practiced only for medicinal purposes. In fact, such a practice is also useful to those who wish to cleanse and rejuvenate their body without applying rigid schemes and potions. Useful fasting will be for those who want to adjust their weight and maintain it in the norm.

We must understand that to lose 5-10 kilograms per month, even with a weekly fasting, it is unlikely to succeed. Here classical schemes of starvation are more applicable. But any long starvation requires definite preparation, after all, it's not for nothing that dietitians recommend starting to starve gradually: first 1 day a week, then 2 days, etc.

Preparation

At first glance, it seems that it is not at all difficult to give up food for just one day. Alas, everything that is practiced for the first time does not go as smoothly as one would like. With an unaccustomed person can feel broken, and the thought of inaccessible food will make him irritable and capricious. Therefore, nutritionists recommend paying special attention to preparing for a one-day fasting. Then, when episodes of fasting become regular, the body will get used to eating without food a certain number of hours or days, and fasting will not be so painful procedure.

First of all, even before deciding on an important step to start one-day fasting, you need to check with your district or family doctor and consult how useful and safe this practice will be. It is also necessary to clarify the question of how often it is possible to spend unloading days, and what kind of fasting to give preference: dry or on water, because this is a strictly individual matter.

A great role is played by the psychological attitude. We need to prepare ourselves in advance for possible difficulties, read reviews of those who are interested in the "hungry" way of healing and rejuvenating the body. All of them first experienced discomfort, hunger, irritation. Having learned from the responses about these symptoms, you can know in advance what to prepare yourself for.

For the first time, of course, we will have to overcome ourselves and our weaknesses, which means that in order not to fail, we must psychologically adjust ourselves to a positive result, to believe in ourselves and the internal forces of our body. It is desirable to start preparing for an important event for a week, so after visiting a doctor, we immediately schedule a date for the first fasting, preferably with details: start and end time.

If this is the first day of a fasting day, the choice of the date must be taken with utmost responsibility. It is not recommended that one-day fasting begin on a working day. Firstly, it will be very difficult to resist the desire to have a snack during lunch or lunch break, seeing chewing colleagues around. Secondly, colleagues will not hesitate to ask why you do not eat and express your not always positive opinion, which can badly affect your determination to stand up to the end.

There is another point that speaks against fasting on a working day. It concerns those who are engaged in heavy physical labor, requiring a large expenditure of energy, and hence, its replenishment. In such conditions it is very difficult to give up food. Hunger can cause dizziness, impaired attention and performance.

Everything, it is decided, is the best day for the first fasting. But even here there is a small nuance that concerns those who live with relatives and friends. They will probably notice, be surprised and perhaps resent your refusal to eat, so you will have to adjust not only yourself, but also relatives, friends, classmates, with whom you may have to share one room. We need to try to explain to them how useful and safe one-day starvation is, what result can be achieved with its help, tell how much you are interested and need it. By the way, by convincing others, you usually get stronger in opinion.

It is very good if your relatives support you in such a useful undertaking. Positive emotions on the eve and during fasting help to carry it much easier.

If you practice one-day starvation for weight loss, you need to set a real goal for yourself (for example, to lose 2-3 kg within a month). In this case, failures are less likely, because a person knows what he wants, what he wants.

During the week, when taking food, you need to think about the impending starvation. You can try to gradually reduce portions, listening to your feelings. For 1-2 days before the onset of starvation, it is worth reviewing your diet in favor of plant foods, which are easier to digest in the digestive tract. From meat products these days it is recommended to refuse altogether. The transition from light plant foods to fasting is much easier than with heavy and fatty meat.

What else should be discarded, so it's alcohol and nicotine in the cigarette, exciting appetite. To the same category of products are spicy dishes, sweet fizzy drinks, spices. Preference should be given to dishes that do not have a pronounced taste and do not excite the desire to eat everything together with a plate. Overeat on the eve of fasting is very harmful.

Well, in principle, to a one-day fasting, we are psychologically and physically ready. It remains to persevere brought to the victorious end and get out of starvation correctly.

General information of the one-day fasting

Preparing for the holding of unloading days, which are inherently one-day fasting, is an important stage in the treatment and rehabilitation and rejuvenating procedures. It is the psychological mood, emotional and physical preparation that determines whether a person can survive a whole day without food or at the first opportunity will return to the habitual existence.

A positive attitude should be maintained not only on the eve, but especially on the day of fasting. For hunger to be tolerated more easily, it is better to stay away from food sources for a while. Being at home next to the refrigerator, stuffed products, a stove on which a freshly prepared fragrant dish is smoking, you will hardly manage to hold on to a candy bar with sweets and pechenyushkas. You can ask your relatives not to eat in your presence, if this somehow alleviates the fate of a person who suffers a hunger.

It is much more sensible to find a fascinating occupation outside the home for a day of starvation, for example, in the country, in nature, in the garage, etc. Turn on the imagination! Thus, you can kill two birds with one stone: be away from food sources and mouth-watering smells and distract yourself from the thought of eating. If a person is busy with something interesting (and everyone has a favorite hobby), thoughts about food arise much less often.

Sports activities and physical work are also excellent distractions, but you need to be careful here. Excessive stresses on the background of nutrient deficiency can cause severe fatigue, dizziness, headaches, which will turn the positive mood into irritation and the desire to quit the undertaking with starvation. The lesson should give positive emotions, but not be tedious.

We begin fasting this way: from the evening before the light dinner, in the morning we forget about food until the evening. The result is 36 hours of fasting.

For beginners, one-day fasting on the water is recommended. This type of fasting is relatively easy to tolerate, because the stomach does not remain empty. As soon as thoughts of food and hunger appear, you should immediately drink water. The amount of water that is drunk during the day is not limited.

This type of fasting is called one-day fasting according to Bregg. Paul Bregg is an American nutritionist who developed a whole system of curative starvation. According to his system, fasting on water can be 7, 8, 9, 10 or more days. With practice, such fasting can be done at home. But to start Bregg still advises with one-day unloading.

Some sources advise on the day of fasting to perform cleaning procedures with enema. Paul Bregg refers to this recommendation negatively, considering enemas as an unjustified waste of energy of the body and an obstacle to the restoration of normal functioning of the large intestine.

But against the salt laxative American dietician does not mind. However, he does not recommend buying pharmacy products, laxative can be done on your own, mixing 50 g of salt (it is better to take natural salt "Barbara" from Truskavets) and half a liter of water. Take a laxative on the eve of the day of fasting. After taking a laxative, nothing is recommended, but you can start drinking water.

We drink water without restriction, preferring purified or distilled water, which will help remove excess minerals from the body in the form of salts. Mineral water and other beverages are not suitable for these purposes.

Such a one-day fasting on the water can be practiced with gastritis and stomach ulcer. In this case, the patient will not experience painful abdominal pain when there is a feeling of hunger, but the gastric mucosa can recover from the irritating effects of food. With increased secretory function of the stomach, water will dilute its contents (in the absence of food there will only be gastric juice containing hydrochloric acid).

Natveuropathic doctor Marve Ohanyan approaches the issue of therapeutic starvation slightly, which actively practices the methods of 1, 7 and 21-day fasting. One-day starvation in Marghah Ohanian is a refusal of food in favor of water, herbal decoctions and fresh juices for 36 hours. This is a method of daily cleaning the body of fats, toxins and toxins.

Unlike Paul Bregg, Ohanyan's doctor is positive about cleaning procedures, he recommends taking laxative intake both on the eve of the day of reloading (at exactly 19 hours) and on the day of fasting (at the same time). As a laxative, saline is shown (50 g of magnesia grains per ¾ cup of warm water), which must be mixed with a mixture of lemon juice and honey.

After this, you need to lie on your right side for half an hour, putting a warm water bottle on the liver area. From 19.30 to 21.00 you need to drink another 5 tablespoons. Salt laxative and go to bed.

The morning of the next day begins with a rise at 7.00. Immediately need to make a cleansing enema of 2 liters of water and 1.5 tablespoons of salt. The enema is done three times, kneeling and rested on the floor with the elbows of the hands.

After a thorough cleansing of the intestine, you can drink herbal decoction and juices. The decoction recommended by Marve Ohanyan is made on the basis of the collection of herbs (chamomile, sage, calendula, St. John's wort, sporach, bearberry, rosehip, yarrow, thyme, nettle with the addition of licorice and valerian roots .As you can see, the herbs are chosen not accidentally, they all have therapeutic effect on the body.

Herbs are mixed in equal parts. For 2 liters of boiling water you need to take 4 tablespoons collection, allow it to boil and insist for half an hour. The broth can be flavored with honey and lemon juice.

Oganyan's method involves taking herbal decoction every hour. The maximum daily dose is 2 liters. If the famine does not release, the broth is replaced with freshly diluted fruit and vegetable juices in an amount not exceeding 3 cups.

Doctor Ohanyan recommends starting the starvation again with one-day procedures, gradually increasing the number of days to 21. Cleansing procedures for patients with peptic ulcer, she recommends doing not with saline solution, but with castor oil or senna decoction.

One-day starvation on the water is a gentle way to spend unloading days, which helps to prepare for a more effective procedure - daily fasting with complete refusal of food and water. A dry one-day fasting is recommended to practice only after the body learned to tolerate hunger when refusing only food, but not water. That is, his dependence on food has somewhat decreased.

In principle, there is practically no difference between the procedures and the withdrawal from them. Dry fasting is considered more effective, because it allows to fully relax the gastrointestinal tract.

To be afraid of dry fasting and the more so fasting on the water is not necessary. Scientists have proved that without food with sufficient amount of liquid to drink a person can manage up to 2 months, so that one day of fasting is unlikely to significantly affect your condition and appearance. It is more difficult to do without water. Here the forecast is more severe - from 2 to 10 days depending on the air temperature and humidity (although there were cases of survival and for 20 days).

But even if we take a minimum, we have one or two days left in reserve, so it's quite possible to suffer only 1 day. And for this organism we will say "thank you".

Many people think that during the dry fasting they will be constantly tormented by a terrible thirst. In fact, everything is not so scary. Our body, in the absence of external sources of water, will look for them inside. And, strange as it may sound, he will find water in fats. The fact is that during the splitting of fats, a significant amount of water is released, which will support the vital forces. At the same time, the hungry does not feel thirsty at all, but the fats under dry starvation are split very actively, which is attractive for those who want to lose weight, people with obesity and those whose diseases are associated with excess weight.

Whichever type of fasting is chosen for the health of the organism, it is important not only to properly prepare and not to break during the day, but also safely finish fasting. Probably, one should not emphasize once again that the first meal after fasting should be as light as possible, and the minimum portion.

The way out of one-day fasting is better to exercise in the evening after 18 hours. We do not forget that our stomach has rested and slightly compressed, so it is not worthwhile to overload it with heavy food in the form of meat, fish, fatty foods, oils, cheeses, nuts and seeds.

The best option for dinner will be a salad of fresh vegetables. Paul Bregg recommends as part of a light salad to take cabbage and carrots. To fill a vitamin salad it is necessary not butter or oil or mayonnaise, and lemon or orange juice.

Described salad not only has a lot of vitamins and amino acids, it also perfectly cleanses the intestines, which means that our supper can be considered the final stage of the cleansing and healing procedure.

If the famine comes nearer to the rebound, you can eat a small portion of cereal without oil or boiled (stewed) vegetables with a piece of bread. During the next 2 days in the diet should not be sugar, salt and foods that increase the acidity of the body. Useful will be cooked, steamed and steamed vegetables and fruits, greens, beans, green tea, herbal decoctions.

Dry one-day fasting for chronic diseases

What is a sin to conceal, many of us have already accumulated a heavy baggage of chronic diseases by a certain age. What are chronic diseases? This is the state of the body, in which it is on the verge between illness and health. At the same time, the disease tries to seize more advantageous positions, and the body tries to contain it with all its strength. It is clear that much energy is expended on fighting the disease. When it is not enough, the disease worsens.

It is clear that over time, the body is increasingly weakened, trying to save energy through energy-consuming functions that are not vital. First of all, the sexual function suffers, then there is a decrease in muscle tone, the body grows older sooner.

It turns out that the treatment of chronic diseases must be to restore the vital forces of the body, then he alone can cope with the disease. Yes, but what causes the development of chronic diseases, which takes strength from the body and how to restore them?

According to the opinion of naturopathic physicians, one of the main causes of the majority of chronic pathologies can safely be considered endogenous intoxication. This is not about everyday poisoning with food, chemicals or poisons, but about intoxication, which is a consequence of a malfunction in the work of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, resulting in the flow of toxins into the blood, gradually accumulating in the body to critical levels.

The source of toxins, of course, is the gastrointestinal tract. Overeating and malfunctioning of the digestive system leads to the fact that even benign food, lingering in the digestive tract and decomposing, turns into poison (toxins).

The destruction of toxins in a healthy body is handled by the liver, and the kidneys and intestines help to remove all unnecessary and harmful from the body. If in the work of these organs, and especially the liver, a failure occurs, toxins are released into the blood and gradually poison our body. And then we wonder where we got chronic diseases, if there were no acute illnesses.

As usual, where it is thin, there it breaks, the toxins primarily affect those organs whose protective function is weakened, that is where the chronic process originates. And the body is trying hard to stop it.

But where to get these very forces, if the body simply does not have such an opportunity to stop and rest. To help comes a one-day (and with sufficient practice and a multi-day) dry fasting. After all, in order to prevent further intoxication of the body, rest is required primarily in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. During dry fasting in the digestive tract, neither food nor water arrives, which means that the body does not expend energy on the process of digestion, but spends it on restoring the protective and antitoxic functions of the digestive and liver organs.

During fasting, the liver also gets a chance to rest and restore its cells, because it does not need to filter blood from toxins coming from the digestive tract. There is also a general renewal of the body due to the splitting of fats and the production of "living" water produced inside the body.

The moment of transition of cells to internal nutrition is called an acidosis crisis, in which the maximum acidity is observed in the body. It is this stressful situation that gives impetus to self-purification of the body.

The lack of food and water from external sources, which naturopaths call "dead", has a permanent benefit for the body, because they were a source of not only useful, but harmful substances. Our body is a complex system that can self-clean and recover. During the fasting time, the blood can pass several times around in a circle and be cleared almost to ideal parameters. The immune system in this case no longer needs to spend energy on the fight against harmful substances in the blood, which means that it can throw all its forces into the fight against a chronic disease.

Absence of water intake plays an important role, because burning fat leads to the destruction of toxins. In the cells of the body in the absence of water, a reaction is triggered, leading to an increase in body temperature, which in turn inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

Even those micro-organisms that can live without oxygen, it is very difficult to survive the transport of water. Lack of water activates the work of the immune system, which emits a large number of special cells into the blood: lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, immunoglobulins, which actively search for and destroy foreign microorganisms.

Stress can not withstand and "their" weak or mutated cells, which will also be removed from the body. It is this moment that is key in the therapy of oncology with the help of "hungry" practices.

It is clear that it is not worthwhile to pin great hopes on one-day fasting in case of chronic diseases. Even a single long starvation will not help the body to completely clear itself of what was accumulated in it for many years. Therefore, the treatment of chronic diseases with the help of fasting involves several treatment courses, and then also annual preventive.

The number of days of dry fasting, the frequency of repetition of courses and the duration of treatment are determined individually for each patient. Sometimes you need to spend a few years, but it will be the final victory over the disease, and not the achievement of remission, as in the case of traditional treatment.

Benefits

There is no point in arguing with the truth that we receive energy from food. However, at some point our body begins to get tired and can no longer properly dispose of this energy. A short rest is enough and everything comes back to normal.

This feature was noticed by our ancestors back in the time of Hippocrates. So the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates expressed the idea that the best seasoning for food is hunger. And Hippocrates used one-day fasting in the practice of treating many diseases.

The idea of treating hunger has not lost its relevance in our days. More correctly, its relevance has become even higher. Pollution of the environment, irrational nutrition, saturated with "chemistry" and GMOs, the absence of the regime of the day, because of what the food enters the body irregularly and in greater than necessary quantities, constant stress - this is what we have to face every day our body. Is it easy for him to work in such conditions. No, no, and there will be a failure in some organ or system.

All of the above, and especially the wrong food and dominance in the dishes of various flavors, preservatives, flavor enhancers, spices and seasonings of doubtful quality first of all beats the digestive and endocrine system. Excessive stress leads to fatigue of bodies that do not cope with their duties, weaken, get sick.

As a result, we have acute or chronic gastritis, duodenitis, colitis, cholecystitis, etc. Metabolic disorders provoke the development of such pathologies as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular pathologies, malfunctioning of the neuromuscular and other systems. A person begins to experience a decline in strength, headaches, heaviness in the stomach, discomfort in the joints. His condition is gradually deteriorating even if there are no obvious reasons at first glance.

And the whole point is that the body needs rest, unloading, which can be done with the help of fasting. At the same time we give an opportunity to relax and cleanse our gastrointestinal tract. Work in the digestive system does not stop, but perennial stocks of fat, slag, toxins that, depending on the period of fasting, are partially or completely eliminated from the body.

A picky reader can say that our body has a rest time every day (or rather nightly). However, it must be taken into account that metabolic processes slow down at night, so this rest does not contribute to the cleansing of the body. But it is precisely the harmful accumulation that prevents him from working at full capacity.

When during one-day or more long-term fasting food does not enter the body, he has the opportunity to deal with the accumulated surplus that inhibits his work. It is clear that in one day to withdraw everything that has been accumulating for years. It is unlikely that they will succeed, but if such days of release are repeated regularly, then the body will eventually return to normal, and also:

• many diseases will recede (this is a fact, because the forces that the body spends during the day to digest the food coming into the stomach, it can be successfully used to fight diseases),
• the general condition will improve,
• the metabolism is normalized,
• increase immunity,
• the process of active cell renewal will start, which will promote the organism's rejuvenation,
• the person's attitude to food will change, because many of us may well consider ourselves a slave to our stomach (we eat when we are happy, eat, when we are sad, we sit at the table when we want to eat and when it's time to do it, and the lack of food quickly takes us out from the comfort zone).

With the help of regular daily fasting you can learn to control your appetite and weight, adjust your diet, get rid of harmful dependence, "seize" your problems.

Yes, any starvation, even with a minimum period, represents for the body a certain stress. However, such a small stress is useful, because it activates the defenses of the body, the inflammatory processes stop, the pathological division of cells is suspended, which we observe in the case of oncological diseases.

[3]

Possible risks

For those who are not yet determined to try one-day starvation due to fear of starving, recall that without food and water, in the absence of physical exertion, a person can safely withstand 3 to 7 days. Let's say right away, medicine knows no cases, so that the patient died as a result of diurnal fasting. But the cases of healing patients who have passed several courses of treatment for hunger, a great many.

One-day fasting is difficult to call a starvation in the literal sense of the word, especially in cases where it is not forbidden to drink water. Hunger within 24-36 hours should be taken as preparation for more effective procedures for a multi-day fasting.

To go in cycles on one-day starvation it is not necessary, after all the organism in due course gets used to it and reacts more reservedly. As prevention of the development of various health pathologies and a procedure that gives cheerfulness and lightness in the body and mind, one-day fasting can be practiced for a long time. However, in this case, starvation on the water as it gets used to it should be replaced by dry starvation, which will allow the gastrointestinal tract and the whole body to get a proper rest and start the processes of self-healing.

To fasten one-day fast does not become a great stress for you, you need to approach with all responsibility to its preparation, to think out interesting activities on a "hungry" day, and, most importantly, to get out of starvation correctly. The requirement of gradual withdrawal from the fasting procedure is not accidental. Hunger and so represents a certain stress for the body, but this stress is beneficial.

But the intake of food in large quantities after a 24-hour refusal to eat will be a stress of a negative plan, and primarily for the gastrointestinal tract. The digestive tract in response to heavy food or a large number of it can respond with a stomach disorder or its stop. In any case, this is a certain discomfort and lack of benefit to the body.

Some authors believe that the practice of one-day fasting does not only benefit, but also harm. But is it possible to call harm the low efficiency of one-day starvations in the fight against excess weight or increased appetite after getting out of fasting, which, if desired, can be controlled?

Yes, if you perform a trial daily fasting, you can note a noticeable weight loss due to the removal of water and feces from the body. When returning to normal mode and power, the weight is restored. But we are not talking about single episodes of starvation, but about regular practices once a week. If you want, you can conduct an experiment with a one-day fasting 2 times a week, but practice shows that the most effective are all the same weekly fasting once a week and fasting for more than 3 days in a row with daily diarrhea practice.

As for increased appetite, you can also fight with it, removing various temptations from the reach zone. It is clear that for the first time it will be hard to sustain a day without food, and then for a few more days to restrict itself in food. But, according to reviews of "experienced", it is always hard the first 2-3 times, and then the body gets used to eating sparingly.

So, you need to be prepared, that the first day of fasting will not be quite smooth. Possible complications or more precisely unpleasant symptoms of one-day fasting can be called: headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and drowsiness, the appearance of negative thoughts, irritability. People with stomach diseases may have hungry pains (by the way, with a longer starvation in 3-5 days they disappear without harming the digestive tract). These symptoms, which are the consequences of stress, quickly pass as soon as you return to normal diet.

For those who are hard to tolerate even a short-term separation from food and feel very hungry to avoid nausea and headaches, during the first procedures it is recommended to drink not pure water once a day, but sweetened with honey or acidified with lemon juice. These components can not greatly damage the health of the body, since they themselves have a noticeable cleansing effect.

It is clear that a lot of patience and perseverance will be needed to master the practice of one-day, and then multi-day fasting. Therefore, if a person is not sure of the benefits of such an undertaking and does not set specific goals, it is not worthwhile to begin, it is unlikely that the matter will be brought to an end.

Reviews and results

Hunger is an unpleasant feeling, which in extreme manifestation can push a person even to betray their principles. How many are known of such cases when a spiritually persistent person during the war for a piece of bread was ready to kill or betray his own. It is clear that fasting in peacetime can not but cause unpleasant sensations, especially if a person is not ready for them.

It is these negative feelings that are the cause of negative reviews about one-day fasting. It is clear that treating such reviews is critical. Not all treatment procedures are pleasant for patients, but this does not become the reason for rejecting them, and for fasting. Everyone decides for themselves whether emu needs this alternative treatment or whether traditional medicine practices should be preferred.

A separate point are the results of losing weight with a one-day fasting. The cause of negative reviews is a short-term result. But after all, one-day fasting is not declared by anyone as an effective method of combating excess weight, why should it be exaggerated. We are talking about cleansing the body, the ability to restore one's strength, improve metabolism. Long-term results are needed - to help practice fasting for many days, breathing exercises for weight loss, various diets, work in the gym.

And, of course, there is some fear in the responses: will the starvation harm the health, will not the disease become aggravated, will it become a source of intoxication (concerns dry fasting). For this reason, the majority of those who are interested in the system of weekly one-day fasting prefer water starvation, considering it safer. Dry starvation is practiced mainly to fight diseases.

Pleases a lot of positive feedback, and even what. Some people notice an attractive shine in their eyes and a blush on their cheeks during one-day fasting, while others emphasize lightness and airiness, a surge of energy after leaving the procedure.

People with humor refer to one-day fasting as an opportunity to save money on the purchase of food. Maybe it's funny, but after all, every joke has a grain of truth. One-day fasting is considered a very affordable way to cleanse and improve the body, which requires only patience and willpower, and not financial investments.

The doctors' comments about one-day fasting are mostly vague. They do not deny the benefits of short-term fasting in certain gastrointestinal pathologies (for example, pancreatitis, stomach ulcers, etc.) and cardiovascular system (hypertension, heart failure, IHD, myocardial infarction). A short refusal of food is recommended and during treatment of colds or allergic diseases. And yet in this case, one-day fasting is used as an auxiliary element in the complex therapy, and not as a method of treatment.

Most often, fasting methods are practiced in institutions of a sanatorium-and-spa plan under the supervision of an experienced medical staff.

With a greater degree of optimism about starvation for the purpose of purification and healing, naturopathic physicians think that the body is able to cope with almost any illness, it is only necessary to give it the opportunity to do it, to push to help gain strength. And the optimism of naturopaths is not based on a dry theory, but on real results.

The most amazing results were seen in gynecology in cases of cystic neoplasms that do not allow women to experience the joy of motherhood. Doctors in many cases were bred, and desperate women turned to non-traditional methods. Many of them became mums due to the practice of dry fasting.

And this is not surprising, because the cause of the formation of cysts are the existing in the body of chronic diseases. If the cause is removed, the cyst decreases itself, and often resolves completely. The curative starvation helped the female body to fight chronic diseases, and the disappearance of the cyst was a programmed nature of the result.

By the same principle, there is also a struggle against infertility, the cause of which in most cases are the same chronic diseases. Specific positive results are available in the treatment of the onset of oncology, prostate adenoma, prostatitis, bronchial asthma, hypertension and atherosclerosis, allergic diseases and even neurological pathologies (osteochondrosis, migraine, vertebral hernia, etc.). By the way, many patients, along with a surge of energy, also noted an increase in their sexual power. And more active in sex were not only men, but also women.

It is clear that achieving significant results in the treatment of health problems requires time and the passage of several courses of curative fasting. Each course lasts 3 or more days, with each subsequent course proceeding with an increase in days of hunger.

It is very difficult to begin treatment immediately from a 3-day course to an unprepared person, so naturopaths recommend to prepare your body for a responsible step in fighting the disease by starting to practice one-day fasting. Only by learning to withstand hunger steadfastly, without failures (even the smallest piece of food can reduce the whole procedure to "no", because because of it the acidotic crisis, which is the beginning of treatment, may not occur), without negativism one can get a tangible result, and in some cases of hard work on yourself and complete healing.
