Patricia Bragg og Paul Bragg The Miracle of Fasting

In this newly revised best-seller, known to millions as the "bible of fasting" Health pioneers and researchers Paul Bragg and Patricia Bragg teach why this ancient practice is key to health and energy, and critical to longevity and ageless vitality, due to our toxic environment and the stress of our daily lives. They share a detailed, step-by-step approach, accessible and informative for both beginners and experienced fasters. Our bodies must process not only our food and water, but the air we breathe, and whatever chemicals they may contain. Since detoxification and digestion take more energy than even strenuous athletic pursuits, fasting allows the mind and body to rest, renew and regenerate, to come into harmony and balance, and release the effects of stimulating foods like caffeine and sugars. The goal of fasting, say the authors, is to allow for the mind and body to self-heal. This concise, tightly edited "Miracle of Fasting" is filled with personal stories of Paul Bragg's travels around the world, including a fasting journey in India with Mahatma Gandhi.
