Fasting

Uno and Abby go on a weekly semi-fast. Every Sunday, they get a yoghurt-carrot/papaya-raw honey-supplements brekkie and their next meal will be around 6-7pm in the evening. The purpose is to let their digestive systems rest and allow their bodies to redirect resources to other bodily functions e.g. detoxify, repairs etc.

Uno has been on this semi-fast for more than a year, while Abby resumed her fast 2 weekends ago after taking a 6-month break since her op in Feb. Other than feeling sluggish on the fasting day, I find their overall energy level, alertness etc to be better than their pre-fast days. Since restarting her fast, Abby has developed a spot of breakouts on her legs - a sign of detox in process. The spots have since healed. Looks like I can keep her milk thistle for now :)
