[A] DETOXING THE BODY THROUGH NATURAL DIET AND FASTING

Most diseases are caused by an imbalanced diet or wrong dietary habits and hence dietary modification is one of the most important parts of therapy in nature cure.

Fasting is voluntary abstinence from food and not abstinence from all the essentials of life. It should not be confused with starvation. Fasting is constructive, while starvation is destructive. Fasting is the best natural way to give rest to the physiological systems of the body and thereby provides an excellent opportunity to cleanse and repair the system. It helps concentrate the vital energy in order to detoxify the body.
