Regular use of fruit and vegetable fasting can effectively promote body cleansing and strengthen health, both body and spirit.
Fasting, although most often associated with healing, is primarily an effective method of prevention. Strengthening health in healthy people remains often underestimated, yet many diseases take years to develop without showing obvious symptoms.
Even short, intermittent fasts help cleanse the body of toxins, provide bioactive plant compounds and micronutrients, and restore the physiological balance of the body. Regularly practiced fasting can prevent many chronic diseases.
It has been observed that people with diabetes, atherosclerosis, peptic ulcer disease or collagenosis who switch to a healthy plant-based diet and practice fasting often experience improved health. Fasting can also aid in the treatment of infertility.
One of the key effects of fasting is the strengthening of the immune system, then infections, colds, tonsillitis disappear, sleep quality, concentration, memory improve. Sometimes there is a so-called clarity of mind, promoting personal development. Individuals regain passion, take on new challenges, start businesses, return to work or study.
Seniors who regularly practice fasting look younger, are full of energy, and their examinations (e.g., ECGs) often show no atherosclerotic changes.
Man is a unity of body, mind and spirit. Fasting can restore balance between these spheres. Renunciations promote self-control, kindness, deepening of relationships and spiritual growth. Sometimes it leads to a deeper experience of life and even conversion.
