Hello Cleansing Team,
How is everyone doing today? Ready for our last 2 cleanse days tomorrow and Thursday? When hunger strikes during the cleanse, I remind myself that 15.8 million children in America go hungry every single evening, that figure astounds me and humbles me. http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hunger/
Fasting not only awakens your own senses and increases your health and vitality, it is also can be a statement of gratitude reminding us that we have plenty of food and resources that can go into our belly. Many (most) people do not have the resources to choose what they can eat. Generally, sodas, processed and fast foods are the cheapest on the market.
Imagine all those that can’t choose to fast, instead go to bed hungry every night. It is only 48 hours so you can do it! Keep up the good work.
Remember your body is getting all the nutrients it needs with the cleanse for life. Add snacks or a small meal if you have a busy/active day. Try to build in something nurturing: a bath, a yoga class, curling up in bed with a good book, a massage, a steam. Whatever it is be gentle with yourself.
Some snack ideas:
- Apples with almond butter
- Cup of blueberries and blackberries
- Chicken breast with avocado or guacamole
- Broiled/baked fish
- Warm or cold soups (if you are sick of salads)
- Hummus and celery or carrots
You are doing great! Only 2 more days!
To your health!
Sharon
