Of course the fast means little if you went back to your usual diet. The key is to have it rejuvenate/regenerate/heal your system, then to break it, but by transitioning to a better/cleaner diet (blended (Vitamix'd) vegetables, lean meats, nuts, and cold-pressed organic oils, for example). Also, you can add in intermittent fasting (eating within the same 8-hour window each day) and mild caloric restriction (calculate your actual daily caloric requirement (more involved than it may seem), then eat 80% of that). Then there are the supplements and nootropics. After a water fast is the perfect time to take on the habit of supplementing (in addition to continuing to consume mainly blended vegetables) with things like Acetyl L-Carnitine (and other free-form amino acids), CoQ10 (if you're over 30), Astaxanthin, Ashitaba, Vitamin D & K, Magnesium, (Opti)Zinc, etc. Also, there are nootropics like Cerebrolysin (one month every quarter), NSI-189 (also one month every quarter-- maybe after Cerebrolysin), and (N-Acetyl) Semax (Amidate) + N-Acetyl Selank (also one month every quarter-- or two months if you can't source NSI-189). There's also fasoracetam + coluracetam, Tianeptine Sulfate (mainly if you struggle with depression or anxiety), and many other things. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12386378 https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/4z4t1q/top_5_an... You can also look into Oil Pulling (unless you have many fillings). |
