water diet instructions

hey, guys, dr. axe here, doctor of naturalmedicine. in this video i'm going to talk about the daniel diet, and how to do a danielfast, and this is something i've trained my patients on for years. i myself have done a daniel fast and the danieldiet on many occasions, and in this video i'm going to share with you a step-by-stepprocess on the three things you must do in

water diet instructions, order to really do a daniel fast and the danieldiet right. really, the daniel fast and diet started inthe book of daniel where daniel decides that he is not going to eat the food of the kingthat has been sacrificed to idols. he says, "hey, test me." he said, "test me for 10 daysand see how i look after a 10-day period and

then again later on, 21 days." and they seehow he's doing and he's excelling and doing incredibly well. the daniel diet has these benefits. it canhelp you experience a breakthrough in body, so in your physical health, in mind, as wellas in your spiritual health, in the spiritual realm. and so again, no matter what you'restruggling with, whether it's a chronic health condition, whether it's a an emotional issueyou're having or, you know, it's spiritual bondage, doing a fast, especially the danielfast or daniel diet, can help you experience a breakthrough. so again, if you're in that position, youfeel like, "hey, i need a breakthrough," then

i believe that this is for you. so step numberone in doing the daniel diet or daniel fast is to change your diet. and consume, in thebible, what they only call pulse for 10 days or 21 days. you can choose your time period,but 10 to 21 days. pulse is typically going to be vegetables, fruits and certain seedsand nuts and whole grains. now with this i recommend that you stay awayfrom whole grains that contain gluten. and most gluten containing grains, we know that'snot what they consuming back then. most of our grains today have been hybridized so it'snot the same, so what i'd recommend on a daniel diet is consuming mostly vegetables and fruits.that should make up probably about 70% of your diet. and then if you are going to consumesome whole grain nuts and seeds, doing things

like sprouted nuts and seeds, like sproutedalmonds, sprouted flax, also doing possibly something like a soaked or a properly cookedsprouted brown rice or oats and things like that, and maybe even something like peas isgreat as well. but again, that's what i would stick to, isfruits and vegetables. really, vegetables should make up 50% of your diet at least,along with those other things. if you want a full list, visit my website, draxe.com,that's d-r-a-x-e.com. i have a whole daniel diet food list you can find there on my websiteor just do a google search for "dr. axe daniel fast," and you'll find my whole food liston there on what you can and can't eat. and then water, you want to do about 8 to10 glasses of water throughout the day. loads

of fruits and vegetables, and if you do thisright, you are going to feel absolutely fantastic and cleansed. the first two or three daysgoing through you tend to feel weaker, but after day three you have something, sort ofthis stress melt off of you and you even start to experience a glow. you may even have peopletell you, "wow, you look different. i can tell there's something different about you." so again step number one in how to do a danieldiet or daniel fast, change your diet and follow eating only fruits, vegetables, andsprouted nuts, seeds and whole grains and sticking to that. step number two in doing the daniel fast rightis taking three times a day, for anywhere

from five minutes to an hour, and spendingtime with god, spending time in prayer. what i recommend is maybe it's just five minutes,but in the morning right when you wake up, right before lunch, and then in the eveningtaking time and just praying and really seeking god. what i like to do is recommend my spiritualtriathlon, and that's spending five minutes in prayer, five minutes reading your bible,and five minutes in praise and worship. actually, typically i start with praise and worshipand then reading a devotional or the bible, and then prayer, and doing that anywhere from5 minutes to if you have longer, 15 minutes or so, as long as you can. but doing thosethree things, three times a day, that's such

a critical part of this because when we lookback at the book of daniel, there are two things he did along with changing his diet.three times a day he spent seeking god, and also he looked to perform with excellenceand that's step number three here. so when you do a fast or do the daniel diet,that doesn't mean you lay around on your back and you just notice that you have a littleless energy than normal and you make excuses. no. what was daniel doing? well, he was seekinggod, but also he wanted to prove to the king that he could do his job better, he wouldlook better, more physically active, stronger than ever before by following this diet andby seeking god the three times a day. and do you know what they found? they saidthat daniel's knowledge and the knowledge

of his friends, they said he had 10 timesthe amount of wisdom and knowledge than the other people did. and so during this time,do your work with excellence. what i recommend you do during these 10 to 21 days is to reallywork on your skill set and goal setting. i would take some time, and set your goal andreally think big. it's what the book "good to great" calls "big, hairy, audacious goals,"or what a pastor i know who wrote a book, he said, "sun stand still" was the name ofthe book. so pray big prayers. i'd take some time reallyto reflect and say, "god, what is it that i couldn't do without your help? what is thisbig thing you've put on my life?" and so i would take time and really focus on one biggoal you have, whether it's one goal in your

life or one goal in different areas of yourlife, and really seek god in those things and really then start to pursue excellence. so write down that goal or that big visionthat you have and then really start working towards it during that time. if you want toreally encompass what daniel did, number one, change your diet and honor god with the wayyou eat. number two, seek him three times a day in that spiritual practice, and numberthree, make every day a masterpiece. pursue excellence in the workplace. be that light.again, that's what daniel was. daniel was alight physically. they noticed he lookeddifferent, but also he stood out with his wisdom and the way he conducted himself, thegoals he had, the different things he did.

so again all of those things are importantencompassing part of doing a daniel diet and the daniel fast. and really, the daniel dietwasn't just that 10 to 21 days. it's the way he ate all of the time and really honoredgod with his body throughout his life. so this is dr. axe saying, hey, i encourageyou to do a daniel diet or daniel fast, and if you want more information, make sure togo to my website, that's draxe.com, d-r-a-x-e.com, or look up "dr. axe daniel fast" there ongoogle or your yahoo search engine. and by the way, if you want to learn more about naturalways to take your health to the next level, make sure you subscribe here to the youtubechannel, and i pray that you guys have a blessed day.
