Kefir, rice, apple: the benefits and harms of fasting days

Send

After the New Year's gastronomic abundance, it seems that there is already "nowhere", and then some have the idea to arrange a fasting day.

The meaning of a fasting day is to eat one product - low-fat and non-nutritive (apples, cottage cheese, kefir, rice, buckwheat, cucumbers), or you can choose several compatible products. This allows you to lose weight and feel light after a holiday overload. So what are good days for low-calorie nutrition and what pitfalls can lie in wait on this path?

Pros

Fasting days are arranged in order to reduce weight and cleanse the body. This method has become popular due to several obvious advantages:

Restarting processes: the intestine begins to work more actively, the metabolism is accelerated
Toxins are eliminated from the body, so you can overcome allergies, improve skin condition
Regular unloading gradually reduces weight
A habit is formed to eat often, in small portions, without overeating
The first step to a healthy lifestyle

Arranging days of low-calorie nutrition can be done no more than once a week, on one specific day - then the weight will go away gradually, without much damage to well-being and health in general.To support the result will help sports, the rejection of sugar and fast food. Otherwise, the "swing effect" will work, and the weight will return in even greater volume - all efforts will go down the drain.

Minuses

Any diet is stress for the body. Therefore, before giving up a full meal, you should go to the doctor and find out what contraindications are and whether you can specifically deprive yourself of the usual food for the whole day. The fasting day has a downside, which you need to know about:

Sensation of weakness, dizziness and nausea from hunger are possible
It is not combined with work and sport - rest is necessary on a fasting day
Major weight loss occurs due to water loss.
Each product has its own contraindications - you need to consult a doctor
Not suitable for people suffering from anemia, diabetes, diseases of the digestive tract, liver or kidneys, as well as pregnant and lactating women.

Do not stretch the discharge for more than a day - this can provoke diseases of the digestive system, up to an ulcer, and also hit the nervous and endocrine systems. You need to use fasting days wisely, having previously prepared, and smoothly return to your usual diet.

If you decide

If you are just taking the first steps towards a healthy lifestyle and decide to start with fasting days, remember a few rules:

Start part time

To reduce stress for the body, you can reduce the duration of unloading by several hours - just hold out in the morning and until about 15.00

More water - at least 1.5−2 liters per day

The body is rapidly losing moisture, and this threatens with dehydration. Therefore, do not forget to drink a glass of clean water at room temperature immediately after waking up and a few more glasses during the day, regardless of which product is chosen for unloading

Women should not spend fasting days in the second half of the menstrual cycle
With severe weakness, you need to return to normal food
Sleep in the afternoon, but not more than 1 hour
Begin the fasting day with a warm shower and massage.
Reduce salt intake to avoid swelling
In case the body does not accept a change in diet and responds with colic, bloating and upset stools, keep Neobutin® at hand. The drug allows you to eliminate the pain after 20 minutes.

Neobutin® is an antispasmodic with a targeted effect on the digestive tract, which is used for irritable bowel syndrome. IBS occurs when you eat improperly and also due to stress. An improperly selected diet and nutrition schedule on a fasting day are fraught with both.
The pain, as a rule, arises from a spasm - a too strong contraction of the intestinal muscles. As a result - flatulence, intestinal colic, rumbling in the abdomen, belching and stool problems. Therefore, the main task is to relieve spasm. For this, special tools like Neobutin® are used. It gently acts on nerve receptors located in the muscle layer, relieving their excessive tension. This allows you to adjust intestinal motility, relieve pain, return the digestive process to normal and get rid of the accumulation of gases.
To prevent possible stomach problems from spoiling the holidays, it is worthwhile to foresee options for the development of events.If you plan to arrange a fasting day, keep Neobutin® in your medicine cabinet.
