There is no more toilsome type of fast or the cleansing diet rather than the pure water fast. One can have only water in this. According some medical professionals, health benefits of this fast are extraordinary. Fasting flushes out the pollutants and toxins from the body. While practising water fast, follow the following steps:
How to Plan a Water Fast?
- Select the duration for doing water fast. Most regular fasters exercise this for 3 — 30 days. Beginners must try several shorter fasts initially to know how their body reacts.
- You should plan your water fast in the period when you do not undergo stress or when you are away from the daily activities.
- Before starting water fast, consider a colon cleanse. Colon cleansing helps to maintain focus and also experience less discomfort while performing actual fast.
- Prepare yourself for the side effects that you may undergo during water fasting, such as nausea, headaches and dizziness. Stop the fast before these symptoms become overwhelmed.
Begin The Water Fast:
- Take more rest while practicing water fast because you may experience drop in the stamina and energy in this time. Do not overexert. Try to maintain the healthy sleep patterns.
- Drink 7 — 10 glasses of purified or distilled water daily. Do not drink tap water. It may ingest chemicals and toxins into the body and may defeat the purpose of fast.
- You may contemplate a water fast with a juice fast for long periods such that your body receives vital nutrients and vitamins periodically.
- Do not break the fast by taking a big meal. Initially, take a small one and wait for several hours to observe if the body reacts negatively. Later resume with the normal eating habits.
