Re: Breaking fast and Mung bean water


Hello archus,
the care in breaking a fast is usually in proportion to its length, and where the longer it is, the more that care is needed.

A shortish fast can be broken on solid foods just so long as they are of a very high water content, but the time-tested method was to use freshly extracted juices of fruits and vegetables. Hygienists would normally begin with the juices of apples combined with oranges & (or any fruit in season that was properly combined) then proceed to carrot juice as a favorite; this would occur over the first day or two, and then progress into actual fruits for another couple of days followed by vegetable salads, being careful only to eat or drink as much as the body required without overdoing it.
This also depends on your state of digestion where unless natural hunger has returned it will need to be nurtured back into its full vigor over the course of a week or even two sometimes.

Shelton eventually agreed with his colleague Dr Virginia Vetrano who broke fasts to the return of genuine hunger with solid food of a high water content, whereas previously he only used juices whether hunger returned or not.

The general consensus nowadays is to break fasts that have not experienced the return of hunger with juices and those that have with high water content solid food, because with this return of hunger the body is fully able to utilize it, whereas in the former this is not the case. The body tells you if there is a demand for food or not.

Mung beans are a great addition to the diet, and are a very good source of protein, but not in their dried state, as eaten this way they are not really bioavailable to the body causing putrefaction and fermentation (Dr William L Esser in Dictionary of Mans Foods), but in their sprouted state are an excellent source of nutrition.
Boiled mung bean water is of benefit but I would think only as part of the diet after breaking the fast within the re-feeding period, and not to be solely relied upon.

Regards
