Fasting is useful for the body, including from a medical point of view.

Instruction manual
1
Follow the main principle of nutrition, which works not only when leaving the post, but always when something new is introduced into the diet or a habit of a different regime is developed: eat a little. Small portions, the prima frequency of which will be 2-3 hours, are better than hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The load on the digestive system will be gradual, so you will not experience any particular inconvenience, even if you start eating heavy food immediately after leaving the post.

Nevertheless, try to exclude some products in the early days. This is, first of all, pastries, salted nuts and chips, all fried, pickled and salty, all kinds of products with unnatural flavor enhancers, dry convenience foods like vermicelli and mashed potatoes, as well as sweet carbonated drinks. It is better not to eat a lot of mushrooms and, if possible, not to drink coffee. Even if you start eating these foods immediately after Easter, at least add them to your diet in small quantities. Easter cakes should be eaten yesterday, as fresh pastries can cause discomfort during digestion.

In Easter, it is better to eat less animal protein, including eggs. They are relatively easy to digest, but if you eat too much of them, you may feel unwell. One or two eggs is enough for the body to understand that it is time to adapt again to the digestion of food of animal origin. If you decide to eat something from meat products, then it is advisable to prefer low-fat boiled chicken or beef. Of fish, cod or pike perch would be the best option. In general, the diet of consumed proteins needs to be expanded slowly and gradually.
