Healing

Eating is one more sense, to experience this reality. We are all connected to the source, the source does not need energy, everything is made from the source. Doing intermittent fasting can help us give our body time to eliminate toxins, viruses, bacteria and/or fungi. We overeat and worry excessively, we feel hatred, fear, frustration, unhappiness, and other negative energies in excess, this can make us sick.

What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting involves not eating for a period of time each day or week. Some popular approaches to intermittent fasting include: 20/4, 18/6, 16/8, 14/10, 12/12 fasting, the first number corresponds to the fasting time, and the second to the eating time. For example, 16/8 consists of not eating for 16 hours, the ideal is to count the hours that we sleep within the fasting hours, so for example, we could stop eating at 6pm and start eating until 10am the next day, with this we would have the 16 hours of fasting, and we distribute our meals within the 8 hours available, which would be from 10am to 6pm, we could even have three meals, if we feel the need, breakfast at 10am, lunch at 2pm and dinner at 5pm, this is a personal decision, however our body asks us to, I know a person who has 2 jobs and says that he is not hungry and only eats once a day, with his family, his wife and children, they share dinner. If your body is asking for more, go ahead. Sometimes, due to anxiety or habit, we may feel the need to eat more. Go ahead. The important thing in this example, 16/8, would be to respect the 16 hours of fasting. In the other 8 hours, you can eat whatever you want, no problem. Of course, if you eat natural and organic food, not processed, it is much better. Also, blessing our food and drink has a positive effect.

Intermittent Fasting 16 8

This is done by eating only for 8 hours of the day, and fasting for 16 hours. Ideally, we should count the hours we sleep within the hours of fasting, so it is easier for us. So, for example, we could stop eating at 6pm and eat again until 10am the next day. If you find it difficult, you can do it less, and you will increase it. It is said that the most important thing is to stop eating at least 3 hours before sleeping, because our body cleanses itself of toxins, bacteria, infections, viruses and fungi and repairs and regenerates our cells while we sleep. If we eat, we take time away from this task, because the body dedicates it to digestion.

Intermittent fasting 12 hours

This is carried out by eating only during 12 hours of the day, and fasting the other 12. The ideal is to count the hours that we sleep within the hours of fasting, so it is easier for us. So for example, we could stop eating at 6pm and eat again until 6am the next day. It is said that the most important thing is to stop eating at least 3 hours before sleeping, because our body cleanses itself of toxins, bacteria, infections, viruses and fungi and repairs and regenerates our cells while we sleep. If we eat, we take time away from this task, because the body dedicates it to digestion.

What is intermittent fasting for?

We could conclude that intermittent fasting is the most natural thing, just as our body and mind need a rest, so does our digestive system. We consume a lot of harmful processed food and, in theory, inflammatory oils that are harmful to our health (corn, sunflower, soy, canola). Fasting gives our body and digestive system the necessary opportunity to cleanse itself of toxins, viruses, bacteria, fungi, repair damage caused by daily life and cure diseases.
