RE: I Quit Eating for 28 Days [Water Fast] : Day 6 (Parasites)
Maybe a little scaring is a good wake up though. The parasites aren't dangerous themselves (at least most of them for we all likely have them, right?), but it's good to be aware of it, so one could get rid of the inconvenience they might cause. I'm thinking of doing a week long fast when I get a chance. I could take a long week holiday from my work and do it then. That'll be left probably for spring though since the Christmas holidays I'll spend visiting relatives.
That my thought!
They aren't exactly life-threathening, the goal of parasites is to take enough so that you don't notice not too much that it kills you. If you die, they die.
They do cause ill-effects in your body and screw with your gut microbiome though, so having parasites are definitely not ideal.
Wow that's great to hear! I'm sure you will have an amazing experience! 7 days is usually the amount of time you want to fast for! Please do post about it on Steemit too! We can start a little fasting community here!!
Great idea! I'll let you know when I'm starting my fast.
