Fasting

Fasting, “is an abstinence from food, or a limiting of one's food, especially when voluntary and/or as a religious observance.” Fasting will not harm you or damage your body when facilitated correctly. Many people undertake extended fasts to cleanse their system and cure their diseases. Your body is a container for the soul. It must be kept clean and pure so that it can heal itself when given the right conditions. Many strongholds are broken while fasting, mental clarity improves, addictions are broken, manifestation is quicker, natural beauty is restored, unwanted soul ties are cut loose, intuition is sharper, and a stronger connection to the Higher Self is achieved. Fasting has existed since the beginning of life on Earth. An ill or injured animal’s first instinct is to abstain from solid food until it is again healthy. They instinctively know that the healing process will be much faster and more effective when it abstains from solid food that will burden its digestive tract. This instinct has always existed within the animal kingdom. The human body also has this same instinct, for it is common for most people to stop eating when illness strikes. Fasting has been both used as a religious ritual (connection) and for preventing and curing diseases. Fasting purifies the body of the Earth’s wide variety of natural and unnatural pollutants thereby improving bodily health and function. Fasting improves the body’s capacity and ability to better utilize the food eaten after a fast. When the body gets no rest from processing food day after day, the digestive and cleansing systems are often subject to an interrupted workload and can lead to plaque which prevents nutritional absorption. The body is often unable to rid itself of all these stored toxins, waste products, body acids, excess proteins, and fat deposits. If this condition continues long enough, it can lead to innumerable diseases. Fasting can and should be the foundation of any diet or lifestyle. It is necessary to give the digestive system a rest, and more importantly to clean the body. Fasting will free up energy you typically spend digesting foods throughout the day. Rather than digesting things during the day, the body shifts it’s focus on renewing and repairing itself. How much sense does it make to have a closet full of clutter, but continue to buy new things you try to fit in there? You would want to first get rid of anything you do not need so you understand what you already have and be able to decide what you may need. The body works the same way. Fasting gives the organs a much needed and much deserved rest and help the body heal quicker. During a fast, many biochemical processes will take place in the body, resulting in many reactions outside the body as well. These metabolic processes will take place whether you supply the body with food or not. When fasting, the body will start releasing low-grade energy stored as fat, which will rapidly decrease body fat levels. This fat is the bad fat (white fat), not the healthy fat (brown fat) that is crucial to our brain, organ, and muscle development. Fasting can prevent, improve, and also work to cure many conditions such as circulatory problems, diabetes, intestinal problems, tumors and cancer cells, correct respiratory conditions, skin problems and much more; especially when accompanied with a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. Fasting is a practice that has had a recent rise in popularity in the last few years, even though it dates back for centuries, and plays a central role in many cultures and religions. The late healer Dr. Sebi (Alfredo Bowman) himself was a huge advocate of fasting, and he would do it frequently to maximize the healing and cleansing benefits from his cell food compounds.
