      Introduction

      What—me, fast? Forget it!

      Most of us, if we think about fasting at all, think of it as something we would never voluntarily do. Oh, we might do it once in a blue moon—on doctor’s orders or if we’re seeking God for an especially important decision. But it’s certainly not something we would ever consider making part of our lifestyle. Life is uncertain enough as it is without intentionally skipping meals!

      And yet you have picked up this book. Something in you is drawn to the idea of fasting. Maybe you have heard what a great method it is to detoxify your body. Or maybe you are wanting to step up your walk with Christ and make fasting a spiritual discipline you can embrace. Maybe a little of both.

      Either way, Fasting Made Easy is for you.

      Fasting is good for you on so many levels. There are few things you can do for your body that have the power to so radically improve your physical health that fasting has. We live in a toxic environment, and fasting is a mighty cleanser. On the spiritual side, fasting begins to break the stranglehold your hunger may have over your behavior. The Bible talks about this as the flesh warring against the spirit. Fasting is part of crucifying the flesh, which leads to greater self-control and harmony with God’s Spirit.

      There are a number of different kinds of fasts Some are more radical than others. Some restrict food and drink exclusively, while others ask you to abstain from something else—like watching television, perhaps. The kind of fasting I recommend in this book, juice fasting, is extremely helpful to clean out the toxins in your body and may help jump-start you into a healthy lifestyle that includes periodic fasting. I hope it will bring you closer to God as well.

      So don’t be alarmed. Fasting doesn’t have to be scary. It will improve your health physically and spiritually. And I will be with you every step of the way.

      Chapter 1

      WHY SHOULD I FAST?

      If you have watched a news telecast in the last year, you have listened to reports of the perils of the polluted environment in which we live. Environmentalists continually plead for help to save our world from air pollution and water pollution as well as from other causes that involve preserving and restoring our good green earth.

      Unfortunately, in spite of their pleas, the world you live in is increasingly more dangerous to your health with every passing day. The air you breathe is filled with industrial air pollution, along with carbon monoxide and other elements that threaten your health. In addition, the unrestrained use of chemicals in many businesses is contaminating your environment and damaging your health. Common household cleaners and other personal products contaminate your home environment as well.

      Threat of a Toxic Environment

      You can live without food for several weeks and without water for several days, but you can only live for minutes without air. However, breathing polluted air can be detrimental to your health. When the air you breathe is polluted, dangerous contaminants pour into your lungs and through your bloodstream, and they are eventually pumped by your heart to every cell in your body. Even air-conditioned buildings, where many people spend the majority of their time, are not free from harmful toxins, chemicals, and bacteria that get trapped in the building and are recirculated through heating and air-conditioning systems.

      Sick building syndrome

      Out-gassing is a term used to describe the air contamination of new buildings, where building materials emit harmful gasses—such as formaldehyde from carpets, solvents from paints, and other chemicals from fabrics, couches, curtains, glues, and more—into the air. Older buildings may emit airborne mold, dust mites, or dangerous bacteria, which are pumped into the air through air-conditioning units. Volatile organic compounds are also emitted from copying machines, laser printers, computers, and other office equipment.

      How does the pollution of inside air affect your body? Referred to as sick building syndrome, many ailments can be directly related to these unhealthy breathing conditions. If the building where you work does not have clean air, you may experience headaches; itchy, red, and watery eyes; sore throat; dizziness; nausea—as well as problems concentrating. Other symptoms of sick
