Of course, in yoga fasting, it is not doing nothing, but exercising. It is best to practice yoga posture, especially to strengthen abdominal muscles, back muscles and waist muscles to promote defecation. Only in this way can we achieve a good fasting effect. On an empty stomach, because the blood is concentrated in the head, people's five senses will be more acute. So it is not suitable for exciting activities. You can read, listen to light music, or keep a diary, while practicing yoga, pranayama and meditation. During fasting, alcohol and tobacco lust should be strictly forbidden, and all irritating foods should be avoided. Yoga practitioners can eat certain foods during fasting, such as soybean milk, fruit and vegetable juice, plum ginger tea and so on. , help to eliminate fatigue and help to fast.
Fasting method:
① It is suggested that the fasting time should be one week, and the appetite should be gradually reduced in the first five days, and all fasting should be done on the sixth and seventh days.
② Practice yoga for one hour every day during fasting to eliminate hunger, rest the stomach and avoid the harm caused by hunger.
(3) 3 days before feeding resumed, the dormant stomach was mainly awakened with liquid food to restore its function better; Then slowly return to a normal diet and try to eat only eight points full. At the same time, we should pay attention to avoid eating too greasy, cold and indigestible food, so as not to cause further harm to the stomach.
(4) A large amount of salted lemonade helps to eliminate toxins. If you feel irritable after drinking lemonade, you can drink a cup of sugar water or honey water to reconcile. After drinking lemonade, I will continue to go to the toilet and take a stinking stool. You don't have to worry too much about diarrhea. This is a normal reaction to detoxification.
You can eat a banana before breakfast. Banana is an alkaline food, which is rich in nutrition, can eliminate toxins and odors, help relieve constipation, and has the effect of relaxing bowels. It will be a while before you can have breakfast after eating bananas.
6 Try to choose light food for breakfast and lunch to avoid toxic and acidic substances entering the body prematurely.
⑦ After fasting, wash your body with cold water to expel toxins and make people relax.
Examples of fasting by Chen Guandan:
There was once a patient with liver cancer who was extremely weak after operation, had difficulty eating, slept badly, suffered from insomnia and dreaminess, and had a series of symptoms such as toothache and rheumatoid arthritis. After fasting 18 days, these symptoms improved obviously. During this period, patients discharge red or black paint-like dirt every day, which is not easy to clean up, that is, stool accumulated in the body at ordinary times. After eating for another 2 ~ 3 months, the above symptoms improved until they recovered and their mood was much more cheerful.
