 | DAY 18 WATER FAST VLOG - REST = YELLOW PEE! Posted by: yogayak Duration: 3:21 Number of views: 1,096 http://yogayak.com ~ I'm convinced that the more I rest the more toxins my body is able to process. That might be a stretch... but I'm 100% positive that if you cannot afford to rest during your fast, then water fasting, at this moment, is not for you. This sounds harsh, but it's motivated by receiving daily emails from people trying to have active lives while waterfasting.... then again... what do I know... is it better do over exert yourself than to live a life of bad food? I really don't know anymore. Life is, well, complex... Related: waterfasting, fasting, yogayak, pee, sleep, rest, lucidtv, michelgingras |
