Long live fasting days!

New Year's holidays are not only a time spent having fun with family and friends, but also a period when we sometimes overeat and eat unhealthy foods. Holiday treats can leave you feeling extra pounds and tired. Therefore, fasting days after the holidays become a real salvation for our body.

Fasting days help normalize metabolism and speed up the breakdown of excess fat concentrated in the body. A properly organized fasting day can lead to a weight loss of 0.5-1 kilograms, as well as improve overall well-being and give a feeling of lightness.

During fasting days, it is recommended to eat simple food that will help to relax and cleanse the digestive organs and other systems that were overloaded during the holidays. For those who want to return to a healthy lifestyle after the holidays, we suggest considering several options for fasting days that will be especially useful in the post-holiday period.

Apple fasting day

On this day, your food will be 1.5-2 kilograms of apples. Apples should be eaten raw without peeling. A third of the fruits can be baked, since baked apples contain more pectin substances, which are excellent for removing toxins from the body. It is recommended to divide all the apples into 5-6 meals.

Apples have a number of beneficial properties. They contain pectin substances, which help normalize digestion, prevent the development of harmful microorganisms in the intestines and help remove cholesterol from the body. Apples also have a general strengthening effect, so they are recommended for people with poor health.

Kefir day

On this day, your main drink will be 1.5-2 liters of 1% kefir. If you want to diversify the taste, you can mix kefir with herbs and a small cucumber in a blender. It is important to exclude salt from your diet, but even without it, kefir will have a fresh and rich taste.

Kefir contains a large number of beneficial bacteria that suppress the growth of pathogenic microflora in the intestines. Therefore, this product is especially useful for people with gastroenterological diseases and dysbiosis. Kefir also helps normalize metabolism and strengthen the immune system.

Vegetable fasting day

On this day, your food will be various vegetables. You can eat vegetables raw, prepare salads, bake or stew without adding oil. It is recommended to consume vegetables throughout the day in small portions.

Vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They help improve digestion, provide the body with important nutrients and promote weight loss.

Rice fasting day

On this day, the main product is rice. You can cook rice porridge, rice cutlets or salads with rice. It is recommended to consume rice in small portions throughout the day.

Rice is an easily digestible and low-fat source of carbohydrates. It has a hypnotic and anti-inflammatory effect, and also helps normalize metabolism.

It is important to note that fasting days should not become a permanent diet. They are intended for temporary cleansing of the body after the holiday period and it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of your body when choosing a fasting day. If you have any chronic health conditions or are considering making significant changes to your diet, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor or nutritionist.

Don't forget to also support your body with enough water during fasting days and physical activity if your health allows.
