Are You Worried about Fasting and Blood Sugar Levels?

 

Author: Foras Aje
As great as fasting is for health, several people's first reaction when it is suggested to them is the weakness they may experience from low blood sugar considering the absence food. Though it is an important factor, there are some tips one can implement to prevent or alleviate such an experience from fasting.

Now, I was discussing with a friend at work about the issue of juice and water fasting.

Incidentally, she is a Christian so she knows what fasting is all about at least from a Christian or spiritual fasting point of view.

She told me that as much as she may like the concept of fasting for cleansing the body, she always worried about her blood sugar levels while fasting and felt that about the only way she could be successful at it was if she took some days off to be away from even the mildest of physical exertions.

She is quite correct.

However, from my experiences with Christian and juice fasting, if one uses the following fasting diet or juice recipe it will be safe to say that one's blood sugar level while fasting would not be too low, consequently weakness may not be experienced in excess.

First, here are the necessary ingredients.

-Grade B Maple Syrup (Organic preferably)

-Organic Valencia Oranges

-Chilled Water (distilled, reverse osmosis or filtered)

The basic recipe is this

For each medium size to large orange and 2.5 (or slightly less) oz of maple syrup, add enough cold water to make a pint's worth of juice.

The Genuine Maple Syrup has a balanced mixture of sugars (unlike honey, which is a big no! no!) and when thoroughly masticated (the fasting juice that is...) it is released with even more ease into the blood stream, consequently it makes the blood sugar levels while fasting more leveled out.

Admittedly, one may feel a little tired now and then, that is more of a detoxification symptom rather than fatigue as a result of a low blood sugar levels from fasting.

This is why to slow the immense detoxing down, it is best to consume adequate (if not exclusive) amounts of fruits and vegetables to build an alkaline reserve in the body.

These will also serve as intestinal brooms and moreover, initialize the detoxifying so by the time you engage in a juice or even water fasting session, you will be much cleansed for the process.

So don't let the fear of low blood-sugar levels scare you from a fast when needed, with the tips above, you will definitely be just fine in using a fast for improving your health.

This lent itself into finding the solutions to the maladies acne and asthma, of which he was suffering, after other conventional methods proved unsuccessful. Consequently, this placed him on the path of naturopathy otherwise known as drugless healing.

Through a radical change in diet and exercise: (Yoga and Calisthenics), he was able to banish close to a decade of his marring acne and a lifetime of asthma. Along with this came the disappearance of depression, lethargy and a marked increase in overall health and fitness.

Convinced of the efficiency of the methods passed down from great health pioneers, in his words: "My goal is to show as many people as I can the wonderful results of Nature's way of healing the body if she's only given half a chance! There is no limit to the potential the human body has when it adheres to her laws! With proper diet, positive mental attunement and exercise, any and everyone can unshackle the bondage of misery and disease in one's own life."
