Through another fast Well, I completed another fast last night and made the mistake of eating too much. In spite of the lovely picture to the left, I broke the fast with rice and cooked celery. I only fantasized about things like pancakes, waffles, whipped cream, etc. I was surprised to feel somewhat nauseated after eating, but after about 30 minutes I was ok again. And I am happy to report that this morning the back feels much better. Saturday's trigger-point massage session was intense and thorough, yet I felt no difference afterward, but today (after last night's session) I do feel a much greater freedom of motion, far less inflammation, and even a sense of rejuvenation. (Of course, that hour-long drive to work usually diminishes a lot of the benefit.) Overall, I think fasting has a role in recovery from the prolonged inflammation. It certainly seems to limit pain. |
