The Bare Necessities
By: @ChocoRuteBeerFloat
For Health/Fasting Health
You could always take multivitamins & call it a day. Though, here's what to do in the means of being thorough.
Vitamins:
Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps with skin, hair, & most importantly bowel function. Something about it just gets your whole body a jolt to just fuckin function.
Vitamin K: Vitamin K helps with blood circulation & bone health. K2 can also do this though it is more protein & metabolism based.
Vitamin B12: Speaking of metabolism, B12, it can help with metabolism most importantly brain function and energy.
Magnesium: It's great for fasting, because in the state of ketosis your body goes into during a fast, it looks into your body specifically to produce its own natural energy. Because of that, it can go by quickly. I mean, w/your whole body needing it to function & all. So taking the added supplement will help.
Probiotics: This supplement is good for keeping in healthy bacteria & getting rid of the bad bacteria to really help your gut function as properly as it should..instead of storing icky stuff it doesn't need.
Omega-3: Omega-3s are good for keeping your blood clean & liver healthy along with so many other health benefits that you can have fun looking into.
Vitamin D: Helps keep your body strong. Literally, it's like the glue to keep in your bones from deteriorating.
Iron: This is for blood production. Gotta keep that heart going for that body to keep working; & it helps with dizziness as well as natural body temperature.
Iodine: Last but not least. This is your thyroid's biggest cheerleader. It's there to keep it or put it back into proper function; it helps to prevent brain damage as well. Just like B12, at least in that aspect.
Things To Help Avoid Cravings during Fast/Binge:
Gum
Tea/Coffee
Broth
Soup
Veggies
Fruit
Juice
Remember:
Keep your body moving even if it's 15 minutes, a day 30 minutes, a day or an hour work up to it if you have to. Though again, I'm not your parent, so up to you.
Up to a gallon of water a day, even if it's tea. Do what you have to do after all.
Try not to stress. I know it's easier said than done, though that's what practice and keeping our own boundaries are for. Stress is the biggest factor to obesity these days because it puts your body into a state of stress to where it holds onto fat! Crazy.
If you're like me and fall asleep on caffeine, drinks with electrolytes, like Gatorade, can help a lot with balancing your blood sugar and the dizziness you may feel when overworked or standing up too fast.
That's it, that's all I got for now.
Remember, I can only recommend healthier alternatives.
Never force anyone to do something they don't wanna do.
Bon chance!
