Tip n°59 : Immunity and digestion

This month, I'm going to provide you with essential additional information to ensure your 🦠 IMMUNE SYSTEM 🦠 is in top shape 💪.

I also invite you to reread tip #17, which is packed with advice.

Your immune system is, I remind you, your first and best defense system. Its good health depends largely on the good health of your DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.

Well... it's not as if we've never talked about it 😉❗️ You already have many tools to take proper care of it 👌 …

However, even after 58 tips 😲, we still often overwork our digestive system... yet it's so precious 🤢.

If our intestines are working tirelessly—in other words, if they're constantly digesting 😥—it's easy to understand that after a while they'll be quite tired, even exhausted 😓.

But then... when will they be able to rest, repair, and regenerate ❓

Well: never ❗️

We all need rest and vacations... so do they 🏖️ ❗️

The wiiiiiiiiiiiirdest thing you can do to them is snacking 🥺, that is, eating between meals, nibbling here and there, all day long... or almost 🤨 ....

It's better to eat fewer, but more substantial meals than more, less substantial meals.

Oops, oops, oops... you're following me 😜❓

You've probably figured it out, I'm a fan of fasting 💧 and I'm committed to sharing this age-old practice with its remarkable effects on our health 👏.

Fasting is, in my opinion, the most effective way to stay healthy ⏳ for a long time.

I even wrote a book 📕: "3 Jours de jeûne, c'est parti!" in which I guide you day after day to make this experience wonderful 🤩.

But if this practice intimidates you 😳, there are many alternatives to familiarize yourself with this approach and, above all, to give your digestive system a rest 💤 – or at least make it easier 😌.

Here are some ideas 💭 … lots of ideas 💭💭💭 … I hope you find one, or even several, that work for you. And then, take it from there 📈❗️

⚠️ Important note: if you have a medical condition (e.g., diabetes) or are taking medication, ask your doctor 👩‍⚕️ for advice before starting.

Here we go:

👉 Avoid animal protein 🥩 in the evening.

👉 For a few days to a week, eliminate sugar 🍭 and gluten 🥖 from your diet.

👉 For a few days to a week, eliminate meat 🍖 from your diet.

👉 Skip a meal: breakfast, for example. This will allow you to take advantage of the hours of sleep 🛌 during which you're fasting... well, normally 😉...

Most often, it's really a matter of habit.

If this proves too difficult, perhaps start by delaying breakfast or try this practice once a week.

👉 Drink only water 🚰 for 36 hours - on Mondays, for example, after weekend social gatherings.

Last meal on Sunday evening, next meal on Tuesday morning (of course, the day can be different... it doesn't work "better" because it's Monday 😆❗️)

👉 Eat every other day

👉 Eat only vegetables 🥦🥬🥒 for 1 or more days

👉 Do a fruit juice 🍏🥭🫐 or vegetable broth 🥣 cleanse (filtered, fiber-free) for 1, 2, or 3 days.

👉 Try a mono diet for one to several days: apples 🍎, grapes 🍇, brown rice 🍚 (consider adding magnesium if you suffer from constipation), fennel, spinach, celery, etc.

A small detail – and not an insignificant one: for those who are carrying a few extra pounds, these various practices promote better weight regulation ⚖️👌.

This list is of course not exhaustive and can be adapted according to your creativity 🙌.

Have a great 🌈 weekend, ✨✨✨ Miam la Vie ✨✨✨, and see you next month for a tip that, I promise, will delight you 😃😘.
