The human body is a harmonious structure in which everything is thought out. That's why, even if a person eats harmful food, it does not immediately affect his health. Because the organism has an opportunity for self-cleansing and self-recovery. The digestive system of a person can work in two modes: in the mode of digestion and assimilation of food, or in the mode of purification of the body. If the gastrointestinal tract receives food, purification processes are impossible. No, of course, they occur to some extent, but for the complex purification of the body it is necessary to abstain from food for a certain period of time. This allows the digestive system to switch to an alternative mode of operation and start the processes of purification of the body.
Hunger is a conscious abstinence from food for the purpose of cleansing and improving the body. It is believed that about 80% of our energy is spent on digestion, while the remaining 20% is divided into mental and physical activity on average. Thus, according to this z, most of our energy is used to digest food. And now let's imagine that in the process of starvation all these 80% of energy is released and the body can use it. Where does he spend it? Wherever it is most needed, it triggers processes of purification, recovery and recovery.
THE BENEFITS OF STARVATION
There are many reports that starvation is almost a cure-all cure-all, and fantastic stories about how starvation cured a deadly disease. The possibilities of the human body are really limitless, but do not blindly believe such stories and all the more sharply enter into prolonged starvation, as sometimes advise supporters of this method of treatment, because, in their opinion, it is during a long starvation run powerful processes of recovery. But extremes and radical measures rarely lead to positive results.
However, starvation itself has a positive effect on the functioning of the body. There is such concept as Ekadashi, one-day fasting, which is carried out twice a month. There is a religious implication of this practice, but from the point of view of usefulness for the body it is quite justified and practical thing. As you know, it is much easier to prevent diseases than to treat them. And regular starvation twice a month is the best practice. One day's fasting is not a great stress for the body and is available for almost everyone, except for some serious diseases. Starving once every two weeks allows you to start the process of cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and toxins, and also contributes to the recovery of damaged tissues of the body. The miraculous results in the form of healing chronic diseases from such a short fasting, most likely, do not wait. One-day fasting is rather a preventive procedure, but it is it that allows you to maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract and the body as a whole.
Even if your diet leaves much to be desired, that is, there is harmful refined food, meat or even alcohol, regular starvation will allow at least to some extent to level the consequences of such nutrition. But this, of course, is not a cure-all. And it is necessary, as far as possible, to strive for a healthier diet.
As for longer fasting periods of three or more days, this is a severe ascetic practice that can have an unpredictable effect on both the body and the psyche. Yes, this is an important point - during starvation there is not only purification of the body, but also purification of the psyche. That is why in some religions fasting is a real spiritual practice, as it contributes to spiritual purification. And during fasting one can notice how strange thoughts, motivations, anger and fears begin to appear, a person begins to remember old grudges, to relive long lived experience. All this is the process of purification of the psyche.
Remember how much energy is released in the absence of digestion? About 80%. And this energy is directed not only to purification and restoration of the body, but also to purification of consciousness and subconsciousness. Therefore, it is necessary to be ready to change the psychological state during fasting. Especially during a long fasting. But one should understand that this is a process of purification. Our consciousness is like a glass of clean water with all kinds of dirt, impurities, etc. on its bottom. And until we touch the glass, the water remains clean. But as soon as we try to change something in ourselves, every "dirt" rises from the bottom. And it is this process that can happen during starvation.
By the way, the same thing happens on the physical level. Many people note that during starvation, for example, rashes appear on the skin.
Many people note that during starvation, for example, rashes appear on the skin. However it is necessary to understand that it is not consequences of fasting, and consequences of our organism slagging, and during fasting the organism starts to deduce these slags. And the skin, as you know, is one of the distinguishing systems. And when the rest of the excretory systems do not cope with the load, the organism uses such a reserve system of excretory, as skin covers. Thus, starvation is a process of cleansing the body and psyche. However, one should be sensible when applying this practice.
