How To Break Your Intermittent Fast

Whenever you fast, it is important to introduce the first food correctly, so you don't damage your health.

I will be sharing with you some of the helpful approaches to breaking an intermittent fast.

A fast is when you willingly or deliberately abstain from eating for a period. 

People fast for a variety of reasons. In the religious space, people fast to consecrate themselves, do supplications, or observe established doctrines. Also, people fast or abstain from food to lose excess weight. Whatever is the reason for embarking on a fast, there is usually the common ground of food abstinence and the time to end the fast. Your approach to ending your fast can create your health or mar it.

For people who also abstain from the intake of water when they fast, it is very helpful to start with drinking a cup of clean water. The water will help to lubricate your digestive system, from your throat down to your stomach. Also, it helps to stimulate the production of digestive juice. It is not advisable to take too much water at this stage, a cup of water is enough.

It is advisable to start the intake of foods with liquid or semi-solid foods. Examples of foods in this category are soups, vegetable or fruit smoothies, soft porridge, bone broth, and soft-cooked vegetables such as pureed squash, etc. Aside from the fact that these foods are easily digested, they also help to stimulate your digestive system. Other strategies to breaking your intermittent fast include watching the portion size, avoiding meal rush, not going to bed immediately after your meal, etc.

Conclusion

You don’t want to mar your health thereby undermining the benefit of your fasting. Applying the strategies on how to break an intermittent fast will help to minimize digestive distress while steadily releasing the energy that your body needs. Remember to drink enough water and introduce liquid, and semi-solid foods first.
