What can you eat during the fasting period? Don’t eat too much

Fasting as a method of health preservation and weight loss is very popular now. Generally, it is not recommended to eat during the fasting period, but if you can't persist, you can eat some dates, pumpkins, longans, etc., and you can also eat some fruits and vegetables.

1. What can you eat during the fasting period?

During the period of fasting, you can choose red dates, southern dates, walnuts, walnuts, almonds, ginseng, osmanthus, lychees, pine nuts, peanut kernels and honey as fasting medicines. But be careful not to consume too much each time, and try not to drink sugar water when taking it.

In addition, fruits and vegetables can also be eaten in moderation, generally in small amounts, just enough to not feel thirsty or hungry (it is not recommended to eat until you are full). You can choose pears, apples, oranges, bananas, watermelons, peaches, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, radishes, etc. It is best not to use single fruit, and try not to use frozen fruit. Among them, when choosing red dates, you should hold the date pit in your mouth to absorb the energy, and hold the date pit carefully to swallow the saliva, which can often play a role that cannot be underestimated.

The above baits or food baits should only be selected according to your own situation when you are really hungry. If you don’t feel hungry or have the willpower to resist eating, it is best not to eat them.

Fasting for Health

On average, you will lose 1 to 2 kg a day. Starting from the 5th day, you will lose 0.5 to 1 kg a day. After that, the weight loss will almost always be in a decreasing manner (sometimes there are exceptions, depending on each person's physical factors and cooperation).

Qi attacks the lesion

During the period of fasting, a few people will experience the phenomenon of qi attacking the disease focus, some diseases seem to get worse, or viruses are excreted, black things are pulled out, and there is fatigue or easy exhaustion. This is a normal reflection of the body's self-repair.

Changes in Physiological Function

During the fasting period, the blood pressure of patients with hypertension will drop significantly, while the blood pressure of some patients with hypotension will rise. However, vision, hearing and touch will become sharper, and memory and association will be enhanced. The number of white blood cells does not change in the first week of fasting, but begins to increase on the 7th day, and increases rapidly from the 11th day, increasing by 1.57 times or more per day, indicating that fasting can improve the body's immunity. During the fasting period, some people will release a unique odor all over their bodies, and even the exhaled gas has a odor. This is because metabolic waste and toxic substances in the body are excreted through the skin.
