Fasting: What’s in it for you?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy @ 5:16 pm

January and February are traditionally months when people reflect on the benefits of fasting after the indulgent holidays.
Fasting has gained traction not just as a weight-loss tool but as a transformative practice for physical, mental, and spiritual health. Here’s what fasting can offer you:
Fasting has been associated with various health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, and enhanced brain function. Intermittent fasting, which involves alternating periods of eating and fasting, is a popular method that may help with weight management and metabolic health.

The stages of fasting can be outlined as follows:

8–14 hours: The body depletes glycogen stores and begins to burn fat for energy.

14–24 hours: Ketone production increases, leading to improved mental clarity and appetite suppression.

24–36 hours: Autophagy, the process of cellular repair, is activated, promoting overall cellular health.

36–48 hours: Growth hormone levels rise, aiding in muscle preservation and fat metabolism.

48–72 hours: Stem cell production is stimulated, potentially rejuvenating the immune system.

Why Is Fasting According to P. Jentschura Worth It?

We wanted to learn more in detail, so we asked Andrea Paul—an expert in this field. In an interview with this experienced fasting coach from the Jentschura Academy, who is also a pharmacy engineer, herbal advisor, and owner of a health store, she shares her deep insights.

She reveals six compelling reasons why fasting benefits both body and mind. Learn about the emotional and physical experiences of fasting participants, how to get started, and why guided fasting is highly recommended.

Why is fasting worth it, Ms. Paul?
Andrea Paul: Fasting according to P. Jentschura offers countless benefits!

  • Balancing the acid-base levels—a key foundation for health.
  • Learning to thrive on less, creating a new sense of well-being.
  • Kickstarting healthier living and eating habits.
  • Boosting metabolism to help achieve a comfortable weight.
  • Detoxification—effectively eliminating acids and toxins.
  • Happiness hormones—fasting often leads to euphoria and joy

How often and for how long should one fast?
Andrea Paul: Fasting acts as a reset for body and mind and should be done regularly. I recommend fasting twice a year, ideally in spring and autumn, for five to seven days.

How to start fasting the right way?
Andrea Paul: Begin two weeks beforehand by eating primarily alkaline foods and avoiding stimulants like nicotine, alcohol, and coffee. On the first fasting day, start with bowel cleansing to prepare the body.

What happens during a fasting week at the Jentschura Academy in Münster?
Andrea Paul: Over five days, participants consume water, herbal teas, vegetable broths, and diluted vegetable juices. Daily walks, light exercise with a physiotherapist, and alkaline treatments support the process. Mornings focus on education, with nutritionists and health experts teaching about an alkaline lifestyle. Afternoons feature relaxation, alkaline wraps, and massages to aid detoxification. Fasting ends gently on the sixth day with light foods like apples and soup.

What makes guided fasting special?
Andrea Paul: Group support is valuable. In my courses, participants motivate and support each other. If you can motivate your partner and all of your friends to join.

Experience the transformative power of fasting for your body, mind, and soul.

A Christmas Miracle: The Power of Positivity

Filed under: Uncategorized — Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy @ 4:05 pm
A Christmas Miracle: The Power of Positivity

Positive thinking holds tremendous power over our health and well-being. Research has consistently demonstrated that an optimistic outlook can influence both mental and physical processes, boosting resilience and enhancing quality of life.
1. Strengthening the Immune SystemA positive mindset reduces the production of stress hormones like cortisol and boosts immune cell activity. Studies have found that optimists often exhibit stronger immune responses, making them less susceptible to infections.
2. Managing Stress Effectively
Optimism helps lower stress levels by promoting healthier coping mechanisms. Reduced stress supports the nervous system and has long-term benefits for cardiovascular health, keeping the heart stronger and healthier.
3. Boosting Mental Health
Those with a positive outlook are at a lower risk for anxiety and depression. Optimism fosters resilience and helps people view challenges as opportunities rather than threats, creating a stable mental foundation.
4. Improving Pain Tolerance
Optimistic individuals often report greater pain tolerance. Research shows they tend to recover faster from surgeries and require fewer painkillers, as their positive mindset aids the body’s healing processes.
5. Fostering Healthy HabitsOptimists are more likely to maintain healthy routines, such as engaging in regular exercise, practicing yoga, eating a nutritious diet, and ensuring adequate sleep—all of which reinforce overall well-being.
6. Supporting Cardiovascular HealthStatistics reveal that those who generally think positively have lower blood pressure and a significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, likely due to healthier stress management and habits.
7. Extending Life ExpectancyLong-term studies indicate that optimism is a protective factor against chronic illnesses and may even slow down the aging process, contributing to a longer, healthier life.

The Takeaway
Let positivity be your daily practice—it’s a gift to both your mind and body!
As often as you can, choose to think positively. True positivity is learning to warmly accept and love yourself, especially when you do not feel very happy. It is easy to accept oneself when things go smoothly and we are enjoying a happy time. Each one of us experiences difficult times. Then it is very important to embrace oneself in any dark feeling. Train your mind to focus on love and possibilities instead of pitfalls, and try to avoid getting trapped in cycles of negative thought patterns. Small mindset shifts can have profound effects on your health and longevity.
Scientific Insights Research shows that the parietal cortex in the brain plays a significant role in these experiences. Bilateral stimulation—such as yoga, mindful breathing, or listening to ocean sounds through headphones—activates and harmonizes the left and right brain hemispheres. This harmony facilitates the increasing flow of love and peace, starting subtly and growing stronger with regular practice.
Also, EMDR and IFS, either self-facilitated or with a therapist, are great modalities to heal our brains. Let love and positivity be your daily practice—it’s a gift to both your mind and body!

½ Cup Pure Natural Honey

2 Organic Eggs

3 Tbsp Apricot Jam

1 Pinch Sea Salt (or Himalayan Salt)

Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Melt the butter slowly, at a low temperature. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the MorgenStund’, almonds (or hazelnuts) and melted butter. Stir gently and leave to rest for about 10 minutes.

Whisk honey and eggs together and then add some salt. Add the mixture to the bowl of cooled down MorgenStund’ mix and then add the cranberries and the apricot jam.
