Today I am going to share one of the miracles I have found in Bragg Healthy Lifestyle by Paul C. and Patricia Bragg. This weekend (starting Friday and ending Sunday morning) I plan to go on a liquid fast consisting of lots of juices and water, guided by Bragg himself.
The Magic Mirror: (chapeter 9)
The tongue, believe it or not, is actually a great indicator of your health; a white-coated tongue tells us that you are full of toxic crap.. literally. The coating is evidence of "Mother Nature" attempting to force out all the deep toxic waste of the body.
So... what if you find that your tongue is white? Or what if you are feeling heavy, tired, or sickly?
The Fast:
The goal here is to get to the point where I fast regularly, allowing my body to push out all the bad and make room for the good! Bragg reccomends a once-weekly 24 hour fast and an occasional 3-day fast. If done regularly, fasting helps maintain a healthy, comfortable weight and leaves a fresh, cleansed feeling!
The Gameplan:
Prep Phase, Day 1: Friday -- green drinks (juiced kale, alphalfa, wheatgrass, etc.); fresh, live fruit drinks
Day 2: Juice Fast; new combinations -- TRY: Beet, Alphalfa, Garlic, Radish, Watercrest,Goji Berries
Day 3: Water fasting, day 1. Continue for 1-3 days.
Benefits of Fasting:
- Quickest way to loose weight
- Relieves tension and insomnia
- Eliminates addictions such as drugs, alcohol, and smoking
- Effectively treats schitzophrenia and other mental conditions
- Improves dietary habits
- Educates the body to consume food only when needed
- Fasting is a rite in all religions
Over the next few days, I will document my progress and feelings as the fasting continues. I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of every single Bragg book on the market!
Happy Fasting,
-A
P.S. I have decided to re-adopt vegetarianism. More to come on the benefits of that.
