Have you heard of the apple diet or apple detox to cure acne? How does eating nothing but apple for three days appeal to you? Fasting is nothing new having been around for thousands of years it has proven beneficial in different ways. Going on a fast gives your body a chance to detoxify – or purge the toxins from your body. The idea is to get your body back into balance. One of the effects is clearing up the skin by ridding it of impurities.
If you use the apple fast you can avoid foods that you may be allergic to and reduce inflammation in your body. But can it be harmful to you?
If you think you will starve by eating nothing but apples for three days don’t worry. Yes you may be hungry but this hunger passes once you are adjusted to it. In fact humans can go for a couple weeks without food, we may be in bad shape but we can survive as long as we have water.
There are different claims about having tried an apple fast. Some have said their skin became more irritated after starting a fast yet it cleared up later. Probably due to the toxins passing through the skin. Others have said their skin cleared up within a few days of starting the fast. Your particular experience will depend on how your skin reacts to the changes in your body.
If you go back to your old diet after fasting the chances are you may go back to having acne again. The key is to change your diet to improve your health. Also the apple fast is not a guaranteed cure. You may want to try this every so often to help detoxify your body. If three days fasting seems too much try a series of 24 hour fasts to give it a try.
