When
you’re breaking a fast, you need to be very careful as you might overburden
your digestive tract. You will only reap the benefits of a fast after breaking
it in the right manner. When you take it easy and slow, you will allow your
body to get the chance to integrate new clarity and a better relation with the
food.
When
you’re fasting, your body goes through some biological changes where enzymes
that are produced in your digestive tract are produced no more or have been
lowered in levels with regard to the fast you’re taking. When you are breaking
the fast, you need to start taking small portions of food to allow your system
re-establish its normal functions.
The
mucus protecting the lining of your stomach might also have been lesser which
makes your stomach walls vulnerable to irritation. You need t start by eating
small portions of food and eat food that is easy to digest. Avoid coffee and
spicy foods as you break your fast.
How you should plan for your fast breaking
period
You
need to come up with a time-frame program of how you will break the fast. The
length you took your fast should determine the time you are to take when
breaking the fast.
If
you took a fat of about a week, you should set aside 3 days to break the fast.
On the first day, take fruit juice and broth alone. Depending on how the first
day will feel you can continue to other kinds of food for the next two days
then resume to your normal eating routine.
For
a fast that took more than a week, you can have four days for breaking the fast.
One the first days, go for light foods then move to heavier meals depending on
how you feel.
If
your fast was for only a day, you just need a day or two to recover from the
fast. Your digestive system will not have a hard time recovering from the fast.
What kinds of foods should you take while
breaking from a fast?
It
all depends on the kind of fast you were taking. Fruits might be good for
breaking a water-fast but they might not be good when breaking a juice or fruit
fast.
This
list of the foods you are to take when breaking a fast will go a long way in
getting back on track after a fast.
- Bone broth
