hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about refeeding dangers after prolonged

fasting okay so let’s say you do a fast

for 48 72 hours a week or longer and

then you have your first meal if you’re

deficient going into this fast and you

pig out and you have this huge meal you

could risk the danger to your heart and

to your overall electrolytes and you can

actually faint you can pass out you can

have even more serious side effects

because what happens is that you’ve got

your insulin levels so low by doing

fasting that you’re going to eat and

you’re going to spike your insulin it’s

going to go way out okay

you’re going to get this huge shift in

electrolytes which are electrically

charged minerals like potassium

magnesium phosphates things like that

you’re gonna have this huge shift inside

the cell because insulin acts acts as a

key to allow these minerals to go inside

the cell the problem is you’re going to

create a severe deficiency of these

minerals in the blood in the plasma okay

so you’re gonna get all sorts

hyponatremia that’s low potassium in the

blood because all these minerals have

shifted inside the cell

thus the intracellular shift so in the

body you have this balance of minerals

in the blood and inside the cell so we

get a lot more minerals that go inside

the cell and a lot less minerals that go

inside the blood and then we get all

these problems in the body so what you

should do as your first meal is eat

something very small like maybe a half

of avocado maybe a little bit of broth

with soup with sea salt maybe a little

bit of egg and then wait a little bit

and then have a little salad wait a

little bit have a little bit more so you

gradually put the food in your body that

way you decrease the risk of any

problems to the heart you know or any

other parts of your body it’s also

important to build up to these prolonged

fasting periods so with a lot of

nutrients in the body and and also let

your body tell you when to do a

prolonged fast so let’s say you’re gonna

go for a period of time and you’re like

just really

you’re weak okay end off you know just

eat a meal don’t keep going because you

have to build up to a prolonged fast and

you don’t want to just jump in and risk

any type of problem so anyway I just

wanted to create this video in this very

important point

and so when you refeed go real slow
