In this modern world with drastic change in the lifestyle of the people, most of them are suffering from some kind of health problems. The type of fatty and junk foods we eat adds to these health problems. Pollution has also created many problems to human bodies. If the person feels that his body is not fit as before or any type of problems occurs in bodies, it becomes important to get a check up from doctor. All the doctors recommend for blood work so that they can identify the problem in the body. Blood work means testing of blood to diagnose the problem present in it so that proper medication can be given for the treatment. To get the accurate results fasting for blood work becomes important. Before fasting a person should consult the doctor or lab experts.

It is important before blood work that blood is free from any additional or unnecessary elements. Thus blood stream should be clean before blood work. Fasting for blood work depends upon different reasons for blood test. Rules for fasting change for different purposes. Mainly blood work is done for Anemia, Sugar, Cholesterol, AIDS, Basic and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel. Time period of fasting can vary according to the situations for which you are having your blood test. Usually time period for fasting can be maximum 12-14 hours. It is a good practice to eat at night and get a check up next morning as it will be easier to fast in this way.  Some points should be kept in mind before fasting.

Fasting should only be done for short span of time and under proper guidelines from doctor. It is better to eat a food which is rich in nutrition before fasting for blood work. Diet may consist of fruits, green vegetables, grains and juices. While fasting, no liquid such as coffee, tea, juices should be consumed except water. If the person consumes any food during the fasting, results may different from actual result which might lead to wrong medication. So it is very important that person must take responsibility before fasting for successful treatment of the problem. Federal law also states that a person going for blood work should have written instruction about the fasting process.

There is a theory that the weak activity of a fasting man has similarities with hibernation, the animal and that only during fetal development rights is observed greater inactivity digestive tract and muscle than during fasting. This theory is largely true. I should say that a fasting man does not sleep in the winter, unlike the animal, which flows into hibernation, and not as passive as a human embryo. Indeed, the brain and muscles are fasting, unless you go to bed, do not relax your body and calm the mind can be very active. However, the closer you will be hungry to passivity of the human embryo, the more improvement will come - rejuvenate cellular structures in proportion to the degree of passivity hungry.

The most important reason - cleansing the body. J. X. Tilden, MD, founder of the famous school of health Tilden in Denver (Colorado), publisher and editor of two magazines, and author of several books, said: "After fifty-five years of loneliness among medical practitioners, I declare, without any threat of possible rebuttal that starvation is certainly the only reliable therapeutic tool for recovery of the organism known to man. "

Felix Oswald, MD, agrees with him, affirming: "Fasting - the grandest way to restore health. Three hungry days in the year to clean the blood and lead poisons diathesis is more effective than hundreds of pills. “

Nothing known to human cannot be compared with fasting as a remedy for fasting for blood work and tissue of toxins. Since the refusal of food is quite a bit of time, as organs of excretion increases its activity and enter into force, this physiological purification.

As for fasting is a removal of deposited slag, and all the internal organs of man are cleared. Person feels as if it updated. Apparently, only a few days, you can release the blood and lymph from the poisonous toxins, but starvation is deeper, bringing poisons that have accumulated in other tissues.

Malnutrition caused by starvation causes the body to destroy (in the process of autolysis) all unnecessary tissue reserves of nutrients and use them to maintain functioning organs. In the process, deposited toxins pass into the circulatory system, delivered to the excretory organs and released them.

Dr. Oswald says: "Freed from the drudgery of digestion nature uses a long-awaited holiday for general cleaning in the body. The accumulated surplus of matter thoroughly examined and analyzed, the appropriate parts are sent to the digestive system, waste products are removed from the body. “Allocation of surplus, overloads the body, which cannot occur in immoderate eating, is possible only with the tide of forces and synchronous processes of physiological and even biological reorganization during fasting.

Selection - one of the fundamental functions of life and as essential for the organism as food. More than 100 years ago Silvest Graham, author of "The Science of Life", which started the first global health campaign in 1831 indicated that in all living organisms there is a balance of undigested and selection, equal food. While the organism is alive, learning and growth, on the one hand, and selection, on the other hand, are in constant interaction.
