Live Long Naturally

will be to fast one day each week… 

Years ago when I had a really busy schedule on the road as a truck driver… I decided to fast one day a week for an entire year.My body and mind felt great, not to mention lighter! Keeping busy makes fasting quite easy and very doable so long as you pack enough liquids to carry you through the day. A gallon is great amount to strive for – it can come in the form of herbal teas, fresh juice (or diluted bottle juice), plain water or by adding raw apple cider vinegar or chlorophyll to your water. I also I like drinking the “Master Cleanse” drink as part of my one day fast.

Anyone can fast successfully when you wean yourself off food the day (or more before). My goal the day prior to and after my one day fast is to eat as much raw vegan food as possible. By this I don’t mean to stuff myself, what I do mean is in place of cooked heavy foods. Eating raw and vegan is by no means a requirement, it just makes easing into and out of fasting a healthier approach.

I have not made a New Years Resolution in decades, however… what I have done is get people together for what I call a Detox Challenge. This one day of fasting was one way for me to help a friend get back on track with her health. Fasting does wonders for the body, mind, and spirit – it gives me more productive hours one day a week.

Got a health promoting New Year Resolution?
