The benefits of fasting have been known for a long time. Socrates also said that the best additive to food is hunger.
The problem of modern society is that a person eats much more than he needs. It is proved that in order to satisfy hunger, it is enough to eat 200 g. Unfortunately, this rule is used by a few and, basically, the usual meal ends with a weight in the stomach.
The Benefits of One-Day Fasting
If you want to unload and purify the body, then this method is an ideal solution. This option is rather a fasting day than a full-fledged starvation. Despite such a short period of time, the benefit of one-day fasting for health is enormous. When the body does not receive food for 24 hours, it rests and begins to cleanse.
Thanks to starvation:
- increases the metabolic rate;
- immunity is strengthened;
- the attitude to food changes;
- you can get rid of food addiction.
Nutritionists recommend starting to starve on Saturday morning, and finish on Sunday morning.
It is important to prepare for starvation:
- 3 days before the proposed starvation, exclude from the menu meat, fish and alcoholic beverages.
- For 2 days, give up the nuts and beans.
- For a day, eat only vegetables, fruits and sour-milk products.
The benefit of starvation on the water is to cleanse the body of harmful substances. Daily it is necessary to drink up to 2 liters of purified water. If you are hungry for the first time, then it is best to stay at home all the time, because you may experience a feeling of weakness, dizziness, headache and even nausea.
The Benefits of Curative Fasting
During fasting, the body uses fats to produce glucose, which increases the production of adrenal hormones, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
