"I don't care how old I live! I just want to be living while I am living."
The definition of restore from dictionary.com is: to bring back to or put back into a former condition; repair or renovate, so as to return it to its original condition. This article is about using the power of fasting as a tool to restore the body to a state of homeostasis, or health. We live in a world of dietary excess where we feast every day, often three times per day. While feasting is good on holidays and special occasions, it is not good daily. I do not know of any more effective tool than fasting for helping you to step out of the dietary excess game and turbocharge your healing process. Fasting is not only beneficial from a physical standpoint, but it is also a great tool to become more spiritually healthy.
I have already discussed the benefits of juice fasting HERE! There are many different fasts that can benefit your health and get nutrients in and toxins out. I discuss them in my book HEAL. Water fasting is one of the most powerful healing modalities that places like True North Health Center incorporate to help people achieve nearly miraculous results. However, water fasts lasting more than a couple of days should be done under the guidance of a health professional. The ProLon® Fasting Mimicking Diet® gives many benefits of a water fast while providing delicious food to help fight hunger and protect lean body mass. The company claims you can get a trimmer waistline and many of the associated benefits of fasting without requiring ongoing lifestyle changes, such as long-term dieting (which I never recommend). You purchase their prepackaged foods for the five-day fast. They base the program on twenty years of research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and conducted at the Longevity Institute and Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute of the University of Southern California (USC). All the foods are plant-based and delicious. The program comes with each day’s food and supplements in a box, so it is easy to follow and implement. My husband and I did the program once. I lost four pounds in the five days, and he lost eight pounds. We felt good during the fast, but I did struggle with hunger. Many people have experienced benefits from this program and find it easy to do. I know people who do it monthly and find it helps with losing weigh, but realize it also helps you to detoxify, which as we’ve learned is much needed in today’s world. I highly recommend this type of fast to heal and lose weight. Try it, you may like it. Please complete the form below if you'd like to order this with a 15/% discount!
