Since I have received a lot of outreach from some of you guys in this group asking me questions about water fasting, I thought I would share a new development. That’s interesting.
About three days ago, I started to notice that come bedtime, the lower, half of my calves, as well as most of my back, become really, really itchy.
I assumed that this was from all the chlorine I eas absorbing from my cold plunges and swimming that I’m doing. I reached out to my health guy and he surprised me with this answer:
“The itching in the back and lower legs is the liver, gallbladder and kidneys detoxing. Those are all symptoms that your fast is healing.”
It’s obviously more difficult to measure what going on in my gut and your organs, but this is pretty exciting news. The body is a trip!
With confidence that my body is healing, I will itch away and let you guys know how long it lasts. 🤣
