Well, I don't know about you but I have to be honest with you. I don't always put the best food into my body. Between the fast food and junk food we put into our bodies willingly and the additional toxins that our bodies deal with from the pollutants in our society, we really need to flush out our systems from time to time.
For me, I decided I'm going to do another four day water fast! I have done fasts before and trust me they do not kill you. You actually feel a great sense of accomplishment when the fast is completed because you have taken control of your body. This really helps to increase your confidence and willpower. (This will also help drop a few quick pounds in weight)
During this fasting period, your body is able to flush toxins out, and actually try to repair itself. I have heard stories of people going 15-40 days with no problem at all. As a matter of fact, they say at about day 15 you begin to have a mental clarity that was lacking before. One day I will actually try this myself but that is not that day. It is believed that after 4 days of fasting, the healing process actually begins in the body. Trust me, whether your dealing with Diabetes, high blood pressure, or pretty much any other ailment out there, a fast can help you!
Jesus even told us when we fast how to do so. Notice HE said when not if! A fast is not just something for people on a spiritual journey. It is a method to let your body recuperate. It is during this time that our bodies can fully restore themselves as it does not have to focus on the digestion process. Maybe you should try one also, let me know how it works out!
Peace
