Time is fleeting, but how sometimes you want to stop it in order to preserve youth and beauty for a longer time. Of course, this is not possible, but there are other ways to slow down aging. One of them is following Dr. Buchinger's diet. Rambler will tell you about its main principles.
Dr. Buchinger's method is an individually simulated fast based on carbohydrate nutrition (vegetable juices, honey, vegetable broths). The diet is supplemented, if necessary, with proteins in the form of dairy products, as well as minerals, vitamins, trace elements. Such a diet promotes the effective removal of toxins and toxins from the body, as well as the normalization of the digestive system. In addition, an integral part of the diet is moderate physical activity, for example, Nordic walking, water procedures.
The benefits of therapeutic fasting according to Buchinger:
- safe disposal of extra pounds;
- restoration of the digestive system;
- powerful mobilization of the body's regenerative forces;
- improving the functioning of the immune system;
- normalization of acid-base and hormonal balance;
- prevention against cancer and aging;
- elevation of mood and burst of energy.
In the Buchinger fast, one day is fruity, when fruit is allowed to be consumed in certain quantities. In the afternoon at lunchtime, when fasting according to Buchinger, it is recommended to drink a vegetable broth. With the broth, minerals necessary for vital activity enter the body, and an increase in the degree of acidity of the blood is also excluded. Urea and uric acid, which enter the bloodstream as a result of the breakdown and movement of unwanted deposits, are then excreted through the kidneys to the outside.
In the evenings, during the Buchinger fast, it is allowed to drink fruit juice (1 glass per day), which is necessary to supply the body with vitamins and trace elements to maintain the stability of electrolyte levels in all fluid systems of the body and for better tolerance of the fasting process itself. Do not swallow vegetable broth and fruit juice in one gulp. They must be "eaten", that is, absorbed in small doses, preferably in teaspoons.
The total amount of fluids you drink per day is at least three liters, which makes it easier for the kidneys, intestines, skin and lungs. It is recommended to drink herbal teas and mineral water with the addition of a teaspoon of honey in the morning and at lunchtime.
In addition, the method provides for bowel cleansing and a fairly long phase of nutritional recovery. After completing the program, in no case should the stomach be loaded. On the first day, you can only eat two additional apples, four nuts and potato soup. Chew slowly, enjoying every bite. On the second day, add a little porridge, fruit compote, potatoes, cottage cheese, raw vegetables or fruits and vegetable soup. Every day, you can very carefully increase the amount of food, carefully listening to your inner feelings.
It is important to take into account the fact that the menu for curative fasting according to Buchinger is best selected individually, based on the characteristics of your body. A qualified doctor will help you with this. In addition, he will make sure that the diet does not harm you in case you have contraindications.
