HOW FASTING KEEPS YOU HEALTHY

Fasting is one of the  best methods in nature cure.Come lets see how it cures.

Fasting refers to complete abstinence from food for a short or long period for a specific purpose. The practice of fasting is one of the most ancient practices. 

Many modern physicians have successfully employed this system of healing in treatment of numerous diseases. 

The majority of persons eat too much and follow sedentary occupations which do not permit sufficient and proper exercise for utilisation of this large quantity of food.Digestion and elimination become slow and the functional activity of the whole system gets deranged. 

By depriving the body of food for a time,the organs of the elimination such as bowels,kidneys,skin and lungs are given opportunity to expel the overload of accumulated waste from the system. Thus fasting is process of purification and an effective and quick method of cure.It helps in correcting the faults of improper diet and wrong living. Fasting is highly beneficial in all kinds of stomach and intestinal disorders and in serious conditions of kidneys and liver.Its best remedy for eczema and other skin diseases. The various nervous disorders also respond favourably to this mode of treatment.
Fasting should,however,not be restored to in every illness. In cases of diabetes,advanced stages of tuberculosis and extreme cases of neurasthenia, long fasting will be harmful.  Fasting as cure to a disease should be observed under professional guidance only.
Benefits of fasting
1..Its helps body to decompose and burn those cells and tissues which are diseased.
2..Building of new and healthy cells are speeded up by the amino acids released from the diseased cells.
3..The capacity of eliminating organs, that is, lungs,liver,kidneys and the skin is greatly increased.
4..Fasting gives physiological rest to the digestive,assimlative and protective organs.
5..It also exerts a normalising,stabilising and rejuvenating effect on all the vital physiological,nervous and mental functions.
The success of the fast depends largely how you broke it.This the most significant phase.
The main rules to break fast are-do not over eat,eat slowly and chew your food throughly and take several days for gradual change to the normal diet.The right food after a fast is as important and decisive for proper results as the fast itself.

HOW NATURE CURE KEEPS YOU HEALTHY

In previous blog Principles of nature cure were discussed.
The nature cure system aims at the readjustment of human system from abnormal to normal conditions and functions and adopts methods to cure which are in conformity with the constructive principles of nature. These methods remove from the system the accumulated waste materials without any side effects. They also stimulate the organs of eliminations and purification.
To cure disease first and formost requirement is to regulate diet. To get rid of the accumulated wastes and to restore the equilibrium of the system,its desirable to completely exclude acid forming foods for a week and to confine the diet to fresh fruits which will disinfect the stomach and alimentary canal.Loss of appetite is nature's warning that no burden should be placed on the digestive organs.
A simple rule is-don't eat when you are sick,stick to the light diet of fresh fruits.Wait for the return of the usual healthy appetite.
Another important factor is to stimulate the vitality of the body.This can be achieved by using water in various ways and at varying temperatures in the form of packs or baths.The application of cold water,especially to abdomen and to sexual organs through a cold sitting(hip) bath immediately lowers the body heat and stimulates the nervous system. Water therapy offers a simple natural method of abating fevers and reducing pain and inflammation without side effects.On other hand warm water application are relaxing.
Air and sunbathing,exercise and massage are other methods of nature cure.They revive the dead skin and help maintain it in a normal condition.
Exercise promotes inner health and harmony and helps eliminate worry and tension.
Massage tunes up the nervous system and quickens blood circulation and metabolic processes.
Hence a well balanced diet,sufficient physical exercise,the observation of the other laws of well being such as fresh air,plenty of sunlight,pure drinking water,cleanliness,adequate rest and right mental attitude can ensure proper health and prevent diseases.
How fasting helps to maintain a healthy life will be discussed in my next blog.

WHAT ARE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF NATURE CURE

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF NATURE CURE
The whole philosophy and practice of nature cure is based on three main principles.
1)..All form of diseases are due to same cause,
namely,accumulation of waste materials and bodily refuse in the system.In a healthy person the waste materials are removed by well defined organ systems. But in the diseased person these waste materials are constantly piling up
in body through years of faulty habits of living such as wrong feeding,improper care of the body,mental exhaustion by worry and tension. All natural treatments are actually directed to remove these accumulated waste products from the body.
2)..The second basic principle of nature cure is that all the  acute diseases such as fever,colds,inflammations,digestive disturbances and skin eruptions are nothing more than self initiated efforts on part of the body to throw off the accumulated waste materials and that of all chronic diseases such as heart disease,diabetes,rheumatism,asthma,kidney disorders are the results of continued suppression of the acute diseases through harmful methods such as drugs,vacancies,narcotics and gland extracts.
3)..The third principle of nature cure is that the body contains an elaborate healing mechanism which has the power to bring about a return to normal condition of health,provided right methods are employed to enable it to do so.In other words the power to cure disease lies within in the body itself and not in the hands of the doctor.
