Jenean Baylor believes there are many things that contribute toward living a healthier life. Among the many, the combination of exercise and a proper diet usually stand out as top two on the list, overlooking others that were once second nature to us all. Ever since the beginning of time, human beings would fast as a way of cleansing to heal the mind, internal as well as external body, and spirit. Nowadays, the concept of fasting for any reason is unknown to the average person. Lost with concept is the opportunity of naturally receiving beneficial results for the body. Below are frequently asked question by those unfamiliar with fasting. *Please remember to conduct your own personal research when it comes to your health and well-being.Jenean Baylor Q Models Why should I fast? We cleanse the external part of our bodies on a daily basis, yet there is little or no effort to cleanse internally. When you think about it, there is a lifetime worth of petrified waste in your intestines and other forms of toxic build up in and around your organs and bones. Fasting is a way to help the body cleanse itself internally. It also can be helpful in healing and preventing some physical ailments. How can I prepare for a fast? Depending on what type of fast you are doing, a good way to prepare for a fast is to reduce your diet to fresh fruits, vegetables, and broths between 1-2 weeks before you begin your fast. In this way, you will help your body prepare itself for elimination. Will I lose while on the fast? Any weight lost will only be toxins that have accumulated in the body. A diet heavily consisting of meat, dairy, and processed foods works against the body’s natural ability to digest and make use of any nutrients found in food which causes the body to store any unused matter in various parts there out. Will I still be able to work out while fasting? You should still be able to engage in everyday activities including working out, yet keep in mind that you must be conscious of your energy level so you won't over do it. |  | How long should I fast? The answer to this question depends on the health of the person and what type of fast the person is taking. A typical fast usually takes place within 3-7 days, which is a good enough time for some type of result. However, 7-21 days, for a person healthy and strong enough to endure this period with discipline, can guarantee sufficient elimination and sure health mentally, physically and spiritually. How often should I fast? The amount of the times to fast in a year solely depends on what type of fast and for how long. For example, I would recommend doing the master cleanse no more than twice in a year (the coming of spring or fall) because of the low amount of vitamins and minerals the concoction contains. If you are considering a juice fast, you can do a 3-7 day fast 3-4 times a year. With a juice fast, your body is able to cleanse itself and receive proper nourishment, which basically kills two birds with one stone. How can I find out what fast is good for me? Personally, I would recommend that you do your own research on fasting and find a nutritional specialist knowledgeable about fasting so you can be guided in the right direction. www.nicbgirls.com |
