Today is Sunday, a day of rest. I'll be doing a 24-hour fast, as I have been for quite some time. It's always a good opportunity to give the body a break from digestion and allow it to focus on healing other parts of itself.

24 hour wow😳 I can't hold on that long 😂
Little by little. You can do it not that difficult
I do a 7 day fast every year and did a 21 day last year. It is great physically and a great disciplinary exercise.
That’s great! I gotta work up to that. I’ve done a 36 hour dry fast once before. That was deeeeep
I started in 1988 and worked up little by little although years of doing 7 days gave me confidence to jump to 21. Plus I did a 14 day supervised fast over 20 years ago to cure a herniated disk. That was my only guided fast, except I did 7 day "guided" with my daughter to support her, not for the guidance.
Amazing. How is your disk now?
So just water and salt for 21 days?
No salt
21 days would probably be too long for me, are you very fit or carrying extra weight?
Trying to understand why you would go that long 🤔
Not like marathon fit but walking 15-20 miles a week, occasional 4 mile run and gardening chores which can be a workout digging, moving mulch, compost etc. My weight was upper 150s @ 5'9" not really "overweight" but not ideal either. My motive was the challenge/discipline of it along with a deeper cleansing than I could get in 7 days.
