Breaking Your Fast

After being on any fast it is important to go off of that fast slowly. Do not make your first meal a heavy eat-whatever-you-want-to-eat meal. This is especially true on a fast of water only or a juice fast. Gradually add back into your diet vegetables and then fruits. After a water only fast you may want to start with some juices. With a juice fast you may want to simply have an apple or a banana and with only that you may find that you can only eat half of the fruit. When on a vegetables only fast you may add more variety to a salad or enlarge your portions. The main idea is to go back to eating more foods slowly allowing your body, especially your digestive system to gradually adapt. This will eliminate any vomiting, cramping or pains from over doing it! You definitely do not want to begin with any of the killer foods like caffeine and sweets! Why would you do such a thing after taking and spending the time to cleanse your body? Now that you have made a cleansing of the body you will want to maintain that health by eating a proper diet of fresh, raw foods - preferably organic. Now begin to add fasting on a regular basis to your healthy lifestyle Include a day of fasting a month or maybe each week! For sure it is important to do a deep cleansing three or four times a year by fasting. Begin to make fasting a way of life!

Here's to your health!
