Fasting week in the Kiental: positive effects on intestinal flora and two more tips
I have just returned from the Kiental. I spent a week fasting there with my husband. So today is just a short episode with 3 insights that I'm taking with me and that I'm happy to share with you!
I'm sure I'll have more insights when I let the experience sink in for a few more days, but now that the experience is still fresh, I'd like to share the following 3 things with you.
Fasting has
a positive effect on the intestinal flora:
Fasting influences the composition of the microbiota. By eating less, some bacteria in the gut are less able to multiply than others. Interestingly, the "surviving" bacteria compensate for the lack of food and even produce more short-chain fatty acids. These additionally stimulate the breakdown of fat. The metabolism is therefore even boosted by the "fasting intestinal flora" while the intestinal flora reorganizes itself.
The importance of drinking water
- The skin needs 500ml & the lungs need 500ml of water
- Water is a means of transportation and cleansing
- How you can pay attention to how much you drink yourself
Small and regular habits make all the difference
- Breathe consciously
- Take breaks
- Brush your body
- Drink water
- Eat slowly and chew well
- Take an alkaline day from time to time
- Skip a meal 2-3 times a week / intermittent fasting
I've been talking about fasting a lot recently and will probably do so again in the near future, as we have included two offers in our program that revolve around the topic of fasting.
One of them is the online alkaline fasting course, which takes place in October.
