Fasting other things to consider and expect.

Our fasting have began, please don't quit! The body man can do more and endure much more than you think. The body of man has the ability to without food for a prolonged period of time, and still function normally.

However our daily eating habits have gotten our bodies to adopt new false standards of what is good and healthy eating and when we divert from those ingrained heating habits our bodies without our help, is going to try and maintain those standards.

Always remember, when you are fasting, whether it is a long fast or a short fast; the body never gives up, on trying to get you to go back to what it learn to be a normal diet.

Apart from those signs and symptoms we discuss in the first part, there is bad and good news. The good news is by day seven of your fast; your body no longer sends you hunger signs. In other words your body gets accustomed to being hunger and you don't feel hunger.

But it does not mean the body has given up, on pushing you back to the diet it come to know as a normal diet. By this stage, from my experience, you may began to experience short bouts of dizzy spells, and shallow breathing, and although you are not hungry you can feel the empty gut.

I have found from my experience, these signs and symptoms are not real reasons for concern, they will soon go away, within seconds of starting. However, because all of us are different, and we do not know the severity of the dizzy spell you will experience; if you are fasting, or if you ever experience dizziness, it is always best to take safety precautions.

Safety precautions such as holding on to something as I always do, even though my dizziness is never severe, but if your dizzy spell is severe bend your knees and slowly fall to your knees; using both hands to keep you upright. Doing this brings you closer to the ground, therefore if your dizziness persist you can easily collapse upon the floor with little or no injuries to your self.

Other signs you may even feel old wounds begin to hurt. and even general body pain all these are signs that your body is forcing you to eat. In my case, when I experiences these signs and symptoms I ignore them and move on with what I am doing.

As in all things, please listen to your body, no one knows your body like you do. If you think it is necessary; abandon the fast and try again another time. There is no shame in doing so. Fasting should bring you closer the Most High God and better health. It is not meant or intend to cause you injuries, illnesses and or death

This article is not medical advise but it is here to help you understand some of the things you may or may not encounter when you are fasting.
