Basic Fasting: The Best Tips

You must have heard more and more about basic fasting lately. In this practical tip, you can read what exactly is behind base fasting and what tips we would like to give you along the way.

Basic fasting – you need to know that

Alkaline fasting is a form of gentle detoxification in which you only eat alkaline foods for a certain period of time.

• Base fasting is not just about the right diet. Conscious eating, exercise, and avoiding stress also play an important role. This is the only way to purify the body holistically.
• In contrast to therapeutic fasting, alkaline fasting is much easier to implement because the metabolism is not put under too much strain. You also don’t have to give up solid food.
• The duration of an alkaline fasting cure is limited to one to two weeks.
• In principle, anyone can do base fasting. However, such a cure is particularly suitable for people with chronic complaints or illnesses. For example, a base treatment can provide relief or relief for flatulence, skin problems, or even rheumatism and migraines.
• Such a temporary low-acid diet stimulates the metabolism, cleanses the intestines, and restores the natural flora.
• As soon as the intestinal mucosa has regenerated and recovered, positive developments can also be seen in other parts of the body.

This is how the base treatment works

You should start an alkaline fasting cure slowly and not rush into anything, as your body first has to get used to such a change in diet. Follow these points to the best of your ability and take it slow.

• In an alkaline fasting cure, the right foods play a crucial role. Only plant-based, alkaline, and nutrient-rich foods are consumed. Fruit, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, seeds, and nuts are the main characteristics.
• To begin with, you can first switch some of your meals over to alkaline content. The general rule is more vegetables than fruit and a maximum of three different types per dish.
• You should avoid alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, animal products, white flour, and caffeine during the cure.
  Eat a lot of raw food, as this is where the nutrients are best retained. However, you should only eat raw fruit and vegetables until 3 p.m. and eat cooked meals in the evening.
• Drink enough, at least two to three liters of water, unsweetened herbal tea, or special alkaline tea a day. You should avoid carbonated mineral water.
• External applications such as alkaline foot baths, but also yoga, meditation, or autogenic training can further increase the effect of the alkaline treatment.
• If your body is highly acidic, detoxification symptoms such as tiredness or headaches can occur during the alkaline treatment. Lots of fluids and relaxation exercises can also help here. However, if the symptoms persist, you should pause base fasting.
• During pregnancy and the subsequent breastfeeding period, you should avoid base treatment.
