Fasting is a healthy habit, and balance is its reward

It all begins with us. A healthy body and spirit, a clean organism and mind, positive energy and attitude, these are all prerequisites for reducing the stress caused by the modern way of life.

It is well known that cleansing the human body begins with what we eat. The food we take in reflects who we are, because it largely shapes the vitality and energy we project and radiate. For this reason, many people enter a period of fasting several times a year, or a few days each week, and in doing so cleanse their bodies of the daily intake of calories or of the non-nutritious substances that pollute them.

Understanding fasting as a normal part of everyday life, just as festive dinners with the kind of food that causes a drop in blood pressure and a need to sleep are, can greatly improve our lives. During a fast the body gets the chance to refresh and empty itself, which enables the immune system to work better.

With conscious fasts such as weekly, fortnightly or monthly ones, in which we leave out certain foods (meat, eggs, dairy products, sugar, seasoning mixes...), we can more easily recognise whether we have a dependence on these foods or whether they cause certain disturbances in the body. During these processes the body releases toxins and we then gain more energy and vitality. Meanwhile, changing our everyday habits is one of the positive results of fasting, in which we learn to say NO to the foods that do not agree with us and become aware of our new consumption habits.

When a person becomes aware that they can recognise for themselves how the foods they eat affect their health, they begin to turn their attention to their decisions about their future diet. We most often experience this kind of awakening when, after eating light fasting food, we return to the high-calorie meals the body cleansed itself of during the fast. That is when we get our first inner alarm and realise how many new alternatives and flavours our diet offers us, ones we can go on using even outside the fast. That is when we give ourselves the chance to learn to listen to our body, and in doing so build the way of eating that is best for our body and spirit.

By practising fasting from time to time, we give ourselves the chance to restore balance in our own lives.

The most demanding form of fasting is going without food and living on various fresh-pressed juices, teas or water, in which case it is advisable to consult a nutritionist or a doctor familiar with the health of the person beginning this kind of fast.
