Researchers have found that during a fast, about 5% of damaged cells in the body are shed and replaced with new cells. When fasting, toxins that have accumulated in the fatty tissue are broken down and removed from the body via the kidneys, intestines and liver. In order to achieve an effect that is noticeable in the complexion, immune system, energy and general well-being, the fasting period should last at least three days. A lot of water is drunk instead of meals.

To help, you can have a drink with lemon juice, some maple syrup and maybe some pepper. Hollywood stars swear by this fasting cure. 10 to 20 days is ideal, but normal working people tend not to keep it up. Already after three days of fasting, the symptoms of detoxification of the body are noticeable, and the symptoms of stress disappear.
