Detox Your Way to Better Health: The Amazing Benefits of Fasting

Today, fasting is recognized as nature's surgery table - capable of healing any illness, with Hashem's help. Across the world, practitioners and doctors who have embraced this remarkable method of healing for severe diseases and weight loss have witnessed extraordinary results, observing how the body self-heals from ailments without external aid. This amazing healing path is gaining traction at various wellness retreats around the globe.

In this article, the fasting we discuss involves abstaining from solid foods. During this process, the body is nourished with abundant nutrients through juices or smoothies for a day, several days, or even weeks. Fasting allows the body a break from the strenuous work of food breakdown and digestion, especially given the large quantities of industrial food typical in our modern Western diets. As you fast, toxins accumulated in organs like the brain, sinuses, intestines, liver, skin, lungs, bladder, and kidneys are released into the bloodstream and expelled through the body's waste disposal systems. This process helps the body become cleaner and function better. Hashem designed us in such a way that, once we stop introducing new toxins, the body rallies its forces to eject old toxins powerfully, effectively cleansing sick organs, and the illness ends. How simple. How wonderful.

If the idea of abstaining from solid foods seems challenging, you don't have to start by completely giving it up to cleanse your body. Initially, avoiding meat, dairy products, processed foods, and starches while adding foods like grains, legumes, and basic beverages (fresh fruits and vegetables, smoothies, and vegetable juices) might be enough to allow the body to expel a large accumulation of waste.

It's worth understanding the differences between various shakes and juices, particularly in their roles in cleansing and nourishing the body on special fasting regimens.

Blended Shakes: A smoothie is made of fruits and vegetables blended together, including all their components, especially their fibers, creating a typically thick beverage. Blenders let us drink the puree along with the juice. Having one of these in the morning on an empty stomach is a boost of health and energy!

Juice Extracted by Juicer: Juice extracted from vegetables, leafy greens, and fruits using a juicer separates all the fibers from the food, resulting in a clean, healthy drink for deep body cleansing from toxins. They provide a high volume of vitamins, minerals, and proteins (from the leafy greens), which are absorbed with minimal effort by our bodies, as the body doesn't have to break down the liquid food, leading to significant digestive energy savings redirected to healing various diseases. One of these a day on an empty stomach works similarly to antibiotics!
