Fast One Day Each Week for Inner Cleansing
Oxygen, as we have stressed, is the greatest cleanser and purifier of the body. Give it a chance to do a thorough house cleansing: help your body rid itself of accumulated toxic poisons by going on a 24 to 36 hour fast every week. Monday is our favorite fast day.
During this fast, drink 8-10 glasses of distilled water daily. Some flavor with fresh lemon juice or 1-2 tsps raw organic apple cider vinegar and 1-2 tsps of honey if desired. No food, juices or supplements are necessary. If you want something warm to drink, have herbal tea or a Bragg Apple Cider Health Drink.
When freed from the daily chore of digesting and assimilating food, your body will use its oxygen-sparked energy to do a more thorough internal cleansing. After your first fast you will feel a renewed vitality. Make this a weekly habit and, as time goes on, you will feel even more invigorated and rejuvenated.
Monday is our regular weekly fast day. After our evening meal on Sunday, we take nothing but 8 to 10 glasses of distilled water until Tuesday morning. We have been doing this fast in the Bragg family for the last 90 years and are all living healthy, long lives. We also always try to fast for the first three days of each month.
Several times each year we take a longer fast of 7 to 10 days. Our favorite fast is distilled water for a week. It works wonders in keeping us fit and trim.
