How to Understand a Pineapple Fast for the Lungs

Pineapple juice is believed by some experts to be very beneficial for cleansing and toning the pores of the lungs as they get clogged and lose their elasticity over time. Fasting on pineapple juice is an excellent means of giving your lungs all the tools and time they need to clean and retone themselves.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Pineapples

1. Remember that incomplete digestion, along with poor nutrition, can result in particles of matter which eventually clog and congest the pores of your lungs. Over time, this causes your lungs to lose much of their elasticity.
2. Understand that pineapple and pineapple juice is thought to be excellent food for lung problems, high blood pressure, and tumors. The astringent qualities of pineapple juice contract and tighten tissues in your body, helping not only to tone the tissue, but also to help those tissues expell harmful toxins.
3. Realize that in addition to the cleaning powers of this fast, in general, juice fasting flushes your system with large amounts of liquid, allows your digestive organs to rest, and reduces the fermentation activity in your body by supplying very little sugar or starch to your body.
4. Know that since food is eliminated, your organs are given a chance to rejuvenate themselves during a juice fast.
5. To help expel toxins built up from the fast, educate yourself about the benefits and means of hydrotherapy and colon therapy. These methods are highly recommended before breaking your fast to insure a clean colon.

Tips & Warnings

• The pineapple fast is excellent for anyone with any sort of intestinal worm, since the enzyme bromelin, prominent in pineapple, destroys tapeworms and most other worms. It even destroys worm larvae, before they can hatch. (see eHow "How to Get Rid of Intestinal Worms.")
• Include some light yoga and breathing exercises during your fast. Think about your lungs healing during this fast. The astringent qualities of pineapple will loosen and clear mucus and toxins form the porous tissues of your lungs, allowing your lungs to better oxygenate your blood, and improving your entire well-being.
• Pregnant women and children should not fast.
• Consult your health care provider before going on this fast especially if you have diabetes, heart disease, ulcerative colitis, or epilepsy; if you are under 18 or underweight; or if you are on medication.
