RE: DRY FASTING: THE ULTIMATE PATH TO LONGEVITY
Hi @starangel! Good post. I wrote about tea fasting last week. I agree that fasting is a powerful healing technique, but my only issue with dry fasting is that you are depriving your body of the water it needs to flush out all of the "bad stuff" which is broken down during the fast. It looks like another commentor also mentioned this. Check out my "tea fasting" article if/when you get a chance. I think you will find some info-gems in it. Regardless, you have been putting out some interesting content, and so I have followed you. Keep it up, and thanks to @samstonehill for making me aware of your post/profile by ReSteeming this post...
Thank you, @transcript-junky! In India fasting is quite common especially among Indian women. And there is a one-day festival called "Karva Chauth", in which married women dry-fast from sunrise to moonrise. And we do tea fast most often. In my opinion dry-fasting is way more effective than wet-fasting. But you should first go on wet fasting and then move to dry fasting.
You don't need to worry about depriving your body of the water. Our body is quite capable to fill the requirement of water. And even your skin cells turn into method of absorbtuion as your skin’s pores develop a greater capacity to absorb water through the skin and in a good clean environment will readily absorb moisture from the air. ☺
@starangel - I'm listening to what you're saying, but I STILL have my reservations - and the "cultural" argument just doesn't convince me. After all, in Africa women cut off part of their GENITALS for cultural reasons. I understand that in yoga there is the concept that we can breath prana through the air, so I can AT LEAST get my head around that. But as for the dry fasting being HEALTHIER than wet-fasting I would need to see SOME sort of hard scientific evidence. Please do not take OFFENSE to this comment. I am merely playing "devil's advocate"...
I can understand. I don't take any offence from your comment. Stick to what you feel is right for you. Wet-fast is also quite benificial! If you like it, then you can just do wet-fasting. ☺
My pleasure ;)
