0:00.0 | So today I'm going to create a video on what foods to eat to break a prolonged fast. |
0:05.0 | Now I already did a video on this, but I want to actually spend some time on some really |
0:09.4 | key points that I didn't cover in the last video and people had questions about it. |
0:13.6 | Now when you're doing in a minute fasting you don't have to worry about refeeding, |
0:17.7 | but there's something called a refeeding syndrome in which you consume too much food, |
0:23.3 | you feast after a prolonged fast, and you get this shift of electrolytes |
0:29.1 | inside the cells, and you get a depletion of minerals and electrolytes in the plasma, |
0:35.0 | in the blood, and that can create all sorts of problems in the heart. You can feel dizzy, |
0:40.0 | you can have a lot of different problems. So any time you're doing a prolonged fast, |
0:45.4 | like 48 hours or 72 hours or longer, you want to gradually introduce food, especially if you |
0:53.0 | already have nutritional deficiencies and you might not know it. I've had people |
0:57.4 | eat a very large meal after fasting for even 24 hours and feel really dizzy and even pass out. |
1:04.4 | So the point is that we just want to put some attention on this. So number one, |
1:08.4 | do fasting gradual. Don't go into it like we're off the bat and do a 48 hour fast, okay? |
1:14.2 | Slowly go into it, starting within a minute fasting, and then each month maybe go a little bit |
1:18.7 | longer and longer and longer with your prolonged fasting. There's a lot of benefits of doing this, |
1:24.2 | but again, you have to know how to do it correctly. So when you're fasting, make sure that you're |
1:29.4 | also consuming enough sea salt, very, very important. Make sure you're consuming electrolytes, |
1:35.6 | very important. You're not going to have a problem when you do that because there's going to be |
1:40.0 | enough minerals from outside the cell and inside the cell. But if you're not doing enough |
1:46.9 | electrolytes and sea salt, what's going to happen is you're going to have a more difficult time |
1:52.1 | doing it longer. So these two categories of minerals will help you go longer and make it more |
