With the onset of spring, warmth, long, hot days, slowly weaning from the cold, most of the beautiful half of the female look with horror at themselves in the mirror and at the kilograms added over the winter. And in order not to feel shame, wearing a short skirt, most immediately begin to starve. And some girls are revising their diet, starting to play sports and arrange fasting days for themselves once a week. The second method is most effective for the figure and health in general, because the body does not need a hunger strike, but proper nutrition, and it also needs to get rid of toxins with the help of fasting days.
What are the benefits of fasting days
Firstly, they remove toxins and excess water from the body. Secondly, this is a great rest for the internal organs: after all, they digest a very large amount of food every day. Also, regularly adhering to the right diet and arranging such unloading for yourself, you can lose those extra pounds that you can’t return.
Of course, if you have never arranged such days for the body before, it will be very difficult to get used to it at first, since the calorie content per day is sharply reduced. Therefore, these days you need to drink plenty of fluids, do not engage in intense training, and choose the right foods for your fasting day. An important point – do not skip meals! You need to eat every 2 to 3 hours, and then the fasting day will be easier to bear.
The most popular product for such a cleansing day is kefir.
Why kefir?
We are talking about kefir, which is made independently with the help of starter cultures and bifidobacteria. It is this product that is rich in trace elements and particles that are so beneficial to the body.
Moreover, with the regular use of this method of unloading, you can get rid of and prevent many diseases. These are diseases of the intestinal tract, cardiovascular system, hypertension. Kefir is an excellent prevention of atherosclerosis and the formation of tumors.
Kefir is perfectly absorbed by the body, and if used frequently, it acts as a protection against the harmful effects of the environment.
Moreover, fasting days do not cause any harm to the body, since they are designed for a day. If a person can hardly tolerate a low-calorie diet, you can safely add another product to kefir.
Kefir and buckwheat
Buckwheat is one of the most useful cereals for the body, because it contains many products useful for the human body: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, fiber and vitamins.
Vitamin C, which is contained in this porridge, helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels, magnesium has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, and many fibers that are in buckwheat improve and normalize digestion.
That is, the combination of kefir with buckwheat is perfect for improving health and removing harmful substances from the body.
For the day, you need to stock up on a liter of kefir and steamed buckwheat in the evening. The recipe for brewing buckwheat is simple: for one glass of cereal you need two glasses of boiling water, do not add salt, but wrap the dishes with porridge with a towel and let stand overnight. In the morning it will be ready for use. Drink a glass of kefir in the morning, after 2 hours eat 4-5 tablespoons of porridge, washed down with kefir. You need to use buckwheat with kefir 4 times in one day. Drink kefir in the morning and before going to bed.
If one day on these products is well tolerated, then you can continue this diet for up to 3 days.
Kefir and apples
An apple is one of the healthiest fruits, and even more so, it is considered the most suitable product for a diet. Since it contains the most successful combination of all the beneficial trace elements that the body needs. And the fiber present in apples contributes to weight loss and the removal of toxins from the body.
There are many useful vitamins in an apple. For example, vitamin A improves skin condition and improves metabolism. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system. Vitamin G, which is higher in apples than in other fruits, improves digestion. Vitamin B is indispensable in diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
If you combine apples and kefir in one diet for the whole day, you get an excellent cleansing of the body. For the whole day it will be enough to buy a kilogram of apples and a liter of kefir. It is advisable to take green apples. You need to use them not only in raw, but also in baked form.
Kefir and cucumbers
Cucumbers are also considered a dietary product, since they are almost entirely liquid. Moreover, cucumbers contain special dietary fiber, which helps to lose weight and cleanse the body. This product is rich in mineral trace elements and acids that our body needs for normal and healthy functioning. For a fasting day, cucumbers are ideal, especially since, in combination with kefir, the body will be satiated for several hours.
For a one-day kefir-cucumber diet, you need 1.5 kilograms of cucumbers and 1.5 liters of kefir. Divide products into 6 meals throughout the day. You can also make a cucumber salad, add your favorite greens, such as arugula, dill, parsley, and season with kefir.
Unloading day on the kefir itself
Having prepared the body for a fasting day on kefir, it should be transferred easily. That is, it is desirable to spend the first fasting days, for example, on kefir and buckwheat, then on kefir and apples or kefir and cucumbers in order to protect the body from unnecessary stress as much as possible. On this day, unnecessary water will go away, and the body will be cleansed of toxins as much as possible. It is advisable to drink 1.5 liters of kefir per day, prepared from a special sourdough. It is also necessary to drink water, at least 1.5 liters per day.
If you feel weak, you can eat a couple of tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese. But only until 6pm. You can also replace the cottage cheese with a couple of cucumbers.
On this day, you should not load yourself with exercises, and even more so with intense physical activity. To play sports, you need to follow the appropriate nutrition: the diet should contain proteins, fats and very few carbohydrates.
When such a fasting day is spent, do spa treatments. They relax the body and soul. But also do not forget that kefir should be drunk throughout the day in small sips with an interval of 2-3 hours.
If you follow your diet and arrange a similar respite for your body, not only the figure will be at its best, but your health will also be strong.
