This helps improve circulation of blood, oxygen and energy around the body, relieving stress and healing pain in other parts of the body.
Two-day water fast:
- 0 – 12 hours: wipes out glycogen from the liver. Glycogen is the stored form of glucose, glucose is a form of energy utilised by the body, we get this mostly through the food we eat.
- 12 – 18 hours: new glucose is made from protein in the body. Meaning the body can create energy without the need of food.
- 18 – 36 hours: Ketosis begins. In order for your body to burn fat, insulin must drop to use fat. Insulin is produced when we eat to metabolise food. In this period insulin is down so the body’s fat stores open up, fat is converted into triglycerides and fatty acids, which the liver converts into ketones. Ketones can be used as energy by every cell of the body, in fact it is a cleaner more efficient energy then glucose.
- 36 – 48 hours: The astounding process of autophagy begins. It is the consumption of the body’s own tissue as a metabolic process occurring in starvation (fasting), it is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells.
Advantages of 48 hour water fasts:
- Growth hormone increases by up to 2000%: the growth hormone is what keeps you young, helps muscles grow and skin regeneration.
- Brain derived nootropic factor: new braincells are created, enhanced memory and cognitive functions.
- Increased metabolic rate: a more efficient digestive system, better conversion and absorption of energy.
- Insulin sensitivity: produce less insulin after fasting. Insulin is used to transfer glucose (sugar) to the liver and muscle cells to be used as energy, also used to control blood sugar levels. When your sugar intake is high, you build insulin resistance, this is when your body no longer responds well to amounts of insulin and cannot absorb energy easily.
- Epinephrine rate goes up: epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter, an increase can mean better communication between the brain and body.
- Cortisol rate goes up: cortisol is another hormone which can help control blood sugar levels, regulate metabolism, help reduce inflammation and assist with memory formulation.
Five-day detox meal plan:
There are three main components to supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes.
- High amounts of dietary fibre is essential, it supports the healthy elimination of waste from the bowel. If we have a low fibre diet and aren’t having regular bowel movements then our body may reabsorb the filtered toxins. Eating a wide range of organic vegetables is a great way to increase your fibre intake.
Dark-coloured vegetables: carrot, squash, spinach, kale, tomatoes and sweet potato contain carotenes that act as antioxidants and enhance immune function.
Brassica-family vegetables: cabbage, broccoli and brussels sprouts contain phytochemicals that block cancercausing compounds from damaging cells and enhance detoxification.
Darker-fruits: berries, cherries and citrus fruits contain flavonoids that act as antioxidants, have immune-enhancing properties and have direct anti-tumour effects.
Nuts and seeds: flaxseed, sesame seed, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, and cashew nuts contain lignans and sterols that can modulate hormone receptors and block production of carcinogens (substances that cause cancer!).
- High amounts of antioxidants as these are the opposite of free radicals (linked to a variety of chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, inflammatory conditions, cataracts, weakened immunity and aging).
Good sources of antioxidants are brightly coloured fruits and vegetables such as kale, apple, turmeric, ginger, berries, etc.
- Drinking plenty of water (spring or filtered) supports elimination of waste via the kidneys.
Following the 48hour water fast we will introduce fruit/veg juices designed to aid the detoxification process and ease the stomach back into eating. Then we will introduce more foods tailored to an ideal balanced diet which will be our aim moving forward.
