The Downsides of Fasting

Fasting is an eating pattern during which you refrain from consuming any sustenance for an extended period of time. A fast usually lasts from 12 to 40 hours, but some types continue for days at a time. In some cases, water, coffee, and other calorie-free beverages are allowed during the fast, but no solid foods or calorie-containing drinks are permitted. You may eat a little very restricted type of vegetarian food or herbs for prolonged fasting. If you consider fasting, you get to know the downsides of fasting.

Intoxication from Water Detox

Many health experts nowadays advise people to drink more water, such as eight 8-ounce glasses or even one gallon of water every day to detoxify the body with water constantly.

Your Gut Health Diets and Supplements Can Be Unhealthy

You must have heard about gut health and detoxification.

Many people think that there are too many toxins in their body, especially in their intestines. As a result, they constantly use probiotics, various laxatives or teas to cleanse their gut, remove waste and toxins from your colon, trying to improve their health and wellness as well as controlling weight. The laxatives come as pills, capsules, liquids, foods, gums, suppositories, and enemas. The teas include senna, peach blossom, and even rhubarb. But they don’t realize that constantly using this kind of detox can lead to a condition called “Qi Sinking” or “Energy Collapsing” in TCM.

Sauna, steam room, and hot yoga are all over the place in the USA and many other countries. Many people think that sweating is the best way to detoxify alcohol, liver, skin, and heavy metal in the body. Sweating can bring out impurity and toxins or sweat itself can be considered toxins. But they do not realize that detoxification by sweating can be unsafe!
