Water cleanses, also known as water fasting<\/a>, are types of fasting in which for a set period of time, you only consume water. Water is easily digested and naturally provides calorie restriction.

You will drink water in 24 hours. Because the first thing to remember is that 60 \u2013 70% of our body is WATER. So, it\u2019s crucial that you drink enough quantity of it, which should not be less than 8 \u2013 10 glasses daily, to support the cleansing process.\u00a0 Drinking not enough water is during water fasting is the problem we observe the most. The body gets dehydrated, as a result, it becomes more acidic, and the cells don\u2019t get hydrated enough to keep the blood alkalized. This results in a slower cleansing process. Such a problem is solved by giving people fluids as IVs or Himalayan sea salt drinks to keep electrolytes up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dinner should be completed at 19.00. After that, herbal tea and raw nuts can be consumed as an appetizer. It\u2019s good to avoid sugar or foods with added sugar. We all know it\u2019s poison. So try to replace it with organic honey, maple syrup or date syrup or coconut sugar.<\/p>
