What is the correct method of Taoist fasting?

The correct way of Taoist fasting is to skip the main meals and promote the excretion of toxins in the body in a state of hunger, which can improve one's physical condition.

Bigu is a kind of eating, but it is not a complete fast. It may take more than 7 days to achieve the effect of Bigu. Bigu is to reduce staple foods, such as noodles, millet porridge and steamed buns, etc., and eat some foods containing trace elements, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, which can enhance the body's resistance and achieve the effect of fullness. You may need to sit in meditation during the fasting period to reduce the loss of your physical strength. You also need to control your personal beliefs. Appropriate exercise may reduce hunger and play a correct role in fasting. Bigu fasting is not suitable for everyone. If you experience dizziness and physical weakness during the fasting period, it is a normal reaction and needs to be improved appropriately to avoid fainting caused by excessive hunger.

Although fasting is a method of health preservation, it cannot achieve the correct health-preserving effect. It can be improved by ensuring adequate sleep, proper drinking of water and regular diet, which can have the effect of health preservation. Adhering to health preservation has certain benefits to one's own physical health, can prolong life, and can also enhance one's own resistance and prevent diseases from entering the body.
