Re: watch out for the adrenals

You know when your adrenals are in good shape when you are not always tired. I was a bit tired plus I fasted on water on water for 8 days while working. I am a supporter of water fasting, don't get me wrong. But I think you have to do it at a time of complete rest and no stress environment, because fasting alone is a lot to handle for the body. I am just sharing my experience because I have been an avid faster, and my advice is prep your body and mind for the fast, take some time off to do it and if not possible do a juice fast instead.
I trust my naturopath and would not fast again in the same way I have been doing. All the Water Fasting books state that it should be done with complete rest, and I think it is important for people to know that. The adrenals are affected by stress, fasting by itself is tremendous stress on the body, we should not add the added stress of working and other psychological, emotional stress.
For most people who are starting on their fasting journey it is good to put at peaceful, restful time aside for the period of the fast. Tweet
