Sunbathing 101

Lets Be Careful

Before sharing any of my personal experience regarding sunbathing, I would like to start this post with a word of caution. As with all starting points, one should always introduce change in an adapted way to her reality. I think even more so when it comes to direct exposure to sunlight. This is one of the most mysterious starting points for me, since I am barely starting to understand some of the mechanics and chemistry behind it. Besides the positive effects of sunbathing I’ve been benefiting from, I have no idea of the possible negative consequences. So far, exposing my skin to direct sunlight has done lots of good to me, but who knows maybe in the long run what I am doing could also have some negative effects as well. I decided to take that risk, because the immediate benefits are truly helping me in my journey towards a healthier living. I can only be responsible for myself. If you are planning on exposing your skin to direct sunlight, please take the necessary precautions which are adapted to your own reality.Continue reading

Journal Entry: January 21st 2018 – The Return of Alma Zen and my Work Opportunity

The Importance of Quality Produce

This week in terms of food intake, I can easily say that I’ve been a bit all over the place. I dry-fasted on Sunday as usual, I ate out on Monday twice. I ate at home on Tuesday and Wednesday %100 raw plant based food. For the rest of the week I combined eating out and eating at home.

Alma Zen, my organic grocer are back from vacation. Although they are out of their arcade in Belgrano, they still do home delivery. I ordered a good amount of fruits and vegetables for the week. By Alma Zen being back in business, I think I learned a great deal about the difference between various products which are sold as organic. As I mentioned in my previous post, even though my current living situation is near perfect at the moment, I had a hard time adjusting to my new place and kick start the new year. One of the elements that had changed in my lifestyle was that people running Alma Zen were on summer vacation. Therefore I couldn’t get access to the produce they bring from the province of Buenos Aires three times a week. After a couple days of juicing and making salads with their produce, I was able to get a part of my energy levels back to where I had left a month ago.Continue reading

Some New Observations on Kidney Filtration

As I already mentioned it in my journal entry of December 20th, my kidneys had stopped filtering during my move from my old apartment to the new one. I took two and a half days to move, because I wanted to transport all my belongings by foot. Friday night the move was over. Saturday morning I did the check out from the old apartment, and had a day during which I was able to eat plenty of food. Sunday was my dry-fasting day. I decided to do a complete fast, where I kept from doing any intellectual work, and interact with electronic devices. In addition, I had plenty of sleep along with a great opportunity to sunbath on the roof of the building where I currently live.Continue reading

Journal Entry: December 25th 2017 – I haven’t done anything for 34 hours!

34 Hour Rest

Last week I have been eating everyday except for Sunday. As I am writing this post it’s 1:00PM Monday, and I am still fasting. I usually go about my day regularly while fasting. On this fast I wanted to try something I had not done before. I decided to not do anything at all during my fast: not connect to internet, not work on my blogs, not record music, not touch my cell phone, not read. On Saturday night I was still exhausted from moving all my belongings from the old apartment to the new one by foot. All week I have been eating plenty at home and outside of home. On Saturday, I was able to nourish myself all day. I started fasting on Saturday night/ Sunday Morning around 2:00AM. I went to bed and woke up the next morning, maybe afternoon? Since I wasn’t allowing myself to touch any electronic device, I did not know what time it was.Continue reading

24 Hours to Go

Today is the ninth and last day of my nine-day dry-fasting attempt. I will be breaking my fast tomorrow morning, so I still have 24 hours to go. Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday in Buenos Aires. I was able to sunbath, walk, and read for hours. Later on at night, I decided to go see an Argentine movie called Zama. After the movie was over, and I made it back home, my batteries seemed to be recharged with so much energy, that I was able to stay up until 4:00AM and do some work.Continue reading

Entering the Unknown Territory

Today is the eighth day of my nine-day dry-fasting attempt. I feel fine. I slept for twelve and a half hours. It was a bit difficult to fall asleep, but I woke up extremely well rested. From now on I’m entering in the unknown territory, since I have never dry-fasted for longer than seven and a half days in my life. I don’t feel thirsty, nor do I feel any dryness in my mouth. I’ve been urinating for about a big glass and a half everyday including today. My mind is extremely clear, but I feel physically slow.Continue reading

Day 4

I am on my fourth day attempting a nine day dry-fast. The first three days of my fast just felt like regular working days. This is why I am  only starting with my journal entries today. During the nine day dry-fasting period, I decided to not set on my alarm clock, and wake up naturally. This resulted in me, sleeping a bit longer than usual. This morning, I am feeling a bit slow cognitively. During my yoga session, I was feeling weaker than in previous days. I ended up keeping the session a bit shorter than usual, avoiding the more physically challenging exercises.  From the moment I have started to write and do more intellectual work, I started to feel well rested, and ready for a productive day.Continue reading
