The number of people choosing the fasting movement is increasing. However, there are many taboos during fasting. What should be paid attention to during fasting?
Avoid Squatting
It is best not to squat during fasting exercise. When squatting down, it is best to slowly stand up, and when getting up from the bed, it is best to slowly climb. It is also important to avoid overly vigorous movements to prevent dizziness.
Symptoms after Fasting
If after fasting, there is a thick tongue coating, bad breath, yellow and turbid urine, constipation or diarrhea with soy sauce-like or tar-like stools, and a strong acidic odor from the skin, these are all normal phenomena and indicate that the body is detoxifying. Additionally, during fasting, there may be a rush of qi to the affected area, which can exacerbate hidden conditions. Experiencing these symptoms is a sign of a strong immune system and a faster recovery, so there is no need to panic.
The Ideal Time to End Fasting
It is best to end fasting at 10 p.m., and you can drink a small amount of diluted porridge afterwards. Then, you can engage in meditation. At this time, meditation is only for relaxation and entering a state of stillness, without using any intentions. The longer the duration, the better the effects of meditation. Some people may not feel the rush of qi during fasting, but it will occur during this time.
Avoid Immediate Overeating
After fasting, it is best not to immediately overeat. The body cannot handle a large amount of food all at once, so it needs to gradually recover. Therefore, it is best for the body to return to a normal diet after three to five days.
No Sexual Activity
It is best to avoid sexual activity during fasting. During fasting, the amount of food consumed is very limited, and the kidneys are in a weakened state. Physical and mental energy are also limited. Engaging in sexual activity during this time not only affects the quality of sexual life, but also causes damage to the kidneys. Therefore, it is best to avoid sexual activity during fasting.
