The Anti Prevention Nation Volume XIII - The Amazing Health Life Formula Part 3 of 5-Fasting & The Mind-Body-Spirit

So Let's Start With a Little Bit of History. I am sure you have heard of the Baby Boomer Generation, name given to persons born between (1946-1964), approximately. This generation has marked many important lifestyle trends. At some point in the past decades, this generation placed its attention on the issue of weight loss and finding ways to feel good, as well as look young and fit.

This has created a massive health and fitness industry worth billions. One particular outcome of this trend has been the rapid spawning of gyms/fitness centers. Nowadays there are big corporations everywhere filling this need. I am sure that there are a variety of "Fitness Centers" in relative close proximity to where you live. Yes, the Baby Boomer Generation, with its desire to stay fit and healthy, has had a lot to do with this industry's growth. For a monthly fee you have access to exercise machines of all types, and for a little more you can even hire a personal trainer to direct you and keep you motivated.

To be sure, fitness centers are great and if you have a membership, by all means use it! But, to achieve optimum health - more is needed.It is by this emphasis and calling them "Fitness Centers" that many often think "Fitness" only refers to the "Physical." The general consensus appears to be that a well-toned body, lots of energy, mental stability and overall good health is the almost exclusive result of exercise and good nutrition.

Indeed, these are all very important and have A LOT to do with the state of "fitness" we are discussing.But There is much more to "Fitness" than this. It is our philosophy and belief that exercise and nutrition ALONE cannot give humans permanent wholeness and wellbeing. Why? Well, we are not just physical beings, but also mental and spiritual. The balance between mind, body and spirit is directly related to our degree of optimal health and - yes - FITNESS.

So, I repeat: Fitness is.... A Mental, Physical, Spiritual and Emotional balance that servers as the catalyst for profound and PERMANENT changes. This combination of elements - addressed individually - result in what, in essence, can result in a Rebirth of your entire being.

Many of are struggling with: Sickness, being overweight, drugs, alcohol, stress, depression, acne, lack of energy, anger, irritability, lack of concentration, insomnia - and numerous other conditions. Moreover, water contamination, free radicals, binging and overall destructive eating take their toll in our blood and digestive system with toxins that exacerbate these challenges.

An exercise program alone is simply not enough to address this type of onslaught. So, how can you achieve the "Total Fitness" we are talking about? The answer is simple: Through fasting, regular colon cleansing, detoxification, good nutrition, life journaling AND a program of regular exercise. It is a simple yet challenging way of life. It is a total integration of mind, body and spirit as the perfect equation for the attainment of optimal and continuous health.

Ok, that all sounds great Sonia - but how do I do this?

Let's start with - Fasting

As we have explained throughout this website, fasting is a very powerful way to thoroughly cleanse the digestive system, which is often very polluted from poor eating. Many have become ill and died before their time because they have not addressed this important aspect of their health. So if you have not started to practice fasting by now, then what are you waiting for? You do not have to be a "record breaker" or feel that you will only benefit if you fast for days or weeks. Why not start with fasting for just 24 hours once per week?

Why not give it a chance for "six months" and then judge the results for yourself? Whether you chose to use Water Fasting or Juice Fasting, you have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose. You can visit the links above to access numerous articles related to each of those disciplines.

For a specific, step-by-step system, check out our new 9-month fasting course Fastingology if you haven't already done so. When I was introduced to the concept some years back, I did not realize the huge impact it would have on my life. And so it has been since then, because it has given me a "permanent" lifestyle based on mental, physical and spiritual balance.
