Fast!

Diet and Nutrition image.

Many chiropractors and other natural healing disciplines suggest fasting from time to time as a means to cleanse the body and rid it of toxins so it functions better.

Critics of fasting say that it starves the body and that regular sleeping and periods in between eating are enough to give the digestive system all the downtime it needs.

So…whom do we believe?

Fasting has been practiced for centuries, for both religious and therapeutic reasons, and is well documented in Biblical accounts. It involves the voluntary abstinence from all substances, except pure water, for a certain period. While most healthy individuals can tolerate a one- to three-day fast on their own, fasts of a longer duration should take place with the supervision of a trained health care professional to coach you through the process.

Benefits associated with fasting include:
  • Provides the digestive system with a rest from its daily activities, just as we need to take a break from our jobs.

  • Cleanses the body by eliminating harmful toxins.

  • Allows the body a period of rest for meditation and spiritual development.

  • Introduces a period of transition (i.e., weight loss, overcoming addictions, shift from meat eating to vegetarian diet, etc.) to the body to gear up for it

Of course, fasting is not advised for pregnant or nursing women, those with a life-threatening illness (cancer, AIDS), and those with diabetes or liver disease; individuals on prescription medications need to check with their doctors prior to initiating a fast.

Studies conducted by Mark P. Mattson at the National Institute on Aging on mice concluded that fasting has beneficial effects on the aging process as well. Mattson said an earlier study found that mice that fasted every other day had extended life spans and a new experiment found the mice also did better in factors involved in diabetes and nerve damage in the brain similar to Alzheimer's disease. Apparently, the cells of the body respond to fasting by increasing their ability to handle more stress, responding with, “that which does not kill us makes us stronger!”

On your next visit, ask for more information about fasting, and what you should eat before your fast and your first meal after your fast.

Dr. Fowler Asks some important questions of interest to Rowlett residents - Chiropractor Rowlett Dr. Fowler Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
