21 DAY FASTING GUIDELINES 2

The Pain of Fasting

The fleshly pain is because your flesh is crucified. The pain of fasting is twofold. The physical pain is due to the detoxification of our bodies. All the accumulated toxics in our body start to come into our blood and we feel awful at times.

• Dehydration Causes Headaches and Joint Pain: Insufficient fluid intake during fasting can lead to headaches, back pain, and joint stiffness.
• Electrolyte Imbalance Leads to Muscle Cramps: A depletion of essential minerals like magnesium and potassium can cause painful muscle spasms and general body aches.
• Stomach Pain is Often Caused by Excess Acid: When the stomach is empty for long periods, acid can build up and cause burning, gnawing pain or reflux.
• Caffeine Withdrawal Can Trigger Pain: For regular caffeine drinkers, a sudden cut-off can cause withdrawal headaches during the initial stages of fasting.
• Preventative Measures Are Most Effective: Staying well-hydrated, replenishing electrolytes, and making gradual adjustments to diet and caffeine intake are key to preventing pain.

Seek Medical Advice for Severe Symptoms: Persistent, severe pain, or symptoms accompanied by dizziness, swelling, or extreme weakness, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. (https://nutri.it.com)

The soulish pain is due to the conflict in the spiritual realm between your flesh and the Spirit of God. This goes beyond the natural desire to eat.
