How to starve right?
Before you start a medical starvation should prepare the body, after spending a few days on raw plant foods and water. Sugar and salt are also recommended to be excluded from the diet. After this, you can start dry fasting. However, if you have not done this before, the duration of your fasting should not exceed a day. After the fasting, you should drink a glass of water and eat something light, for example, a vegetable salad. If in the process of fasting you felt weakness, nausea and dizziness, it is worthwhile to postpone this matter until better times, because the main thing is to listen to your body, and it will certainly tell you what it really lacks.
