Fasting is a process whereby the body’s digestive system function is suspended by stopping the consumption of solid foods. Usually the digestive process requires a lot of energy from the bodies reservoir. Energy is usually denied to some vital systems such as the immune function, repair and regeneration mechanisms. The energy distribution is prioritised for the digestive process. Generally after a heavy meal we normally experience low energy and some of us take a short nap. Therefore when one fasts or stops consuming solid foods the digestive system rests and more energy is distributed to other reparative systems. Fasting helps in the healing of the mind, body and spirit. Harmony in these systems results in health. Discord results in disease. Fasting is therefore a form of therapy and is holistic in nature.
The consumption of fruit juice helps in boosting the supply of vital nutrients that are needed in repairing the body cells. Since they are in liquid form their absorption does not require much energy. Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc. are supplied in quantities that are beneficial for the healing process.
From this therefore we can see that frequent fasting is quiet beneficial for your health. In the scripture books we read about personalities who after fasting came out with more inspiration and energy. You can also do the same for your health. In fact your body already knows this benefit instinctively. Why do we lose appetite when we are really sick? It’s the bodys signal that it’s time to rest the digestive system. Your body says it wants to fast. Energy is required elsewhere to help restore a disorder in the body. However due to ignorance, we force the sick to eat large quantities of solid food that ends up sitting in the stomach. The body is reluctant to allocate energy for switching on the energy consuming digestive process. The person now suffers from indigestion and maybe constipation. Juices would greatly benefit the sick over this period of healing. They will be nourished without disrupting the body’s allocation of energy to more deserving systems. It’s most unfortunate that we buy the supermarket artificial fruit drinks and give the sick thinking that they are nutrient dense. They are filled with refined sugars, artificial colors, flavorants and preservatives. They were not extracted from any fruit tree with roots in the soil. Sugar depresses the immune function. Bacteria and cancer cells love sugar! They are regarded by your body systems as toxins. Your body has to now struggle with both the disease and the toxins you’ve introduced through the artificial drink. Natural fruit juices contain phytonutrients. They act like medicine. They work in unison with your body systems. They heal the body. They boost the body’s energy. The artificial drinks suck energy from your system as the body detoxifies them from the body. Detoxification consumes body energy. This denies your body vital healing energy and progressively makes the condition worse.
Fasting helps boost the energy supply to the bodys healing systems through resting the high energy consuming digestive tract.
