Detoxify

I have heard my Grand mother telling my mother to Fast on some Auspicious days. She says that it is a way to thank God for his blessings and Bla Bla.....

I never had interest in all those sort of things until i heard about this word 'Detox'.

I read an article about "Detoxifying the body" some time ago. Then I went to my grand ma to get some details, she seriously thought that  became a Theist. Ok, now lets come back to the topic. She said that its like giving rest to our body for a day and resting for a whole day ( like sending the car for a water wash and service once in a while). Fasting is undergone by eating eating fruits, veggies and plenty of water. She couldn't give me any more info. Later I learned these info when i was in college and i follow it once in a month and trust me it feels as if the body is cleansed from dirt, toxins etc... It kinda feels good.

Detoxifying the body

or

Cleansing the body from toxins

Choose a day when you are at home without any work or any sort of appointments ( preferably sunday). Start the day by drinking a glass of warm water with lemon juice and honey. It is advisable to take complete test and not to strain the body. Do some stretching exercise for 15 mts. Opt for fresh fruits, veggie salad for the whole day. No rice, roti or any sort of carb. I personally advise to go for fresh juices instead of fruits and veggies. You can prepare a variety of yummy juice with fruits and veggie ( browse the net, there are loads of recipes) but strictly only FRESH HOME MADE JUICE IS ALLOWED, no canned juice. Substitute honey for sugar. Feel free to mix and match. 

1. Fresh Juice

2. Tender coconut

3. Butter milk ( made at home with salt)

4. Lots of warm water

Taking only liquid diet flushes out the toxins from the body.

Just sit back and relax, watch your favorite shows in TV, listen to music, treat your skin with home made packs and enjoy the day. But NO CHEATING, for benefit of your body you need to give complete rest to it at least for a day once in a month. 

But,

no Fasting when,

1. one is pregnant

2. Have any health problems like Diabetics, heart problems and Whatever problem it is

3. When one has periods. ( the girls body need lots of nutrients during those days so no Fasting pls....)

Remember,

FASTING is not STARVING. 

Try and let me know how you feel.....
