Main Reasons for Dry Mouth During a Dry Fast and How to get rid of it

Why do we experience dry mouth when fasting, and what causes it? Xerostomia is the medical term for dry mouth. This is a common and undesirable side effect when engaging in dry fasting. When we don't eat, our saliva production dries up. A healthy mouth is a clean mouth, and saliva plays a crucial role in this process. The tongue's primary role shifts from producing saliva to helping the body eliminate toxins. Once the body has neutralized a toxin, one of the primary ways it gets rid of it is through the tongue, which develops a white coating. Knowing whether or not our bodies are adequately hydrated can be a secondary function of the tongue.

Dehydration makes the white film stickier. Even though we stop producing saliva, our tongue isn't parched. The tongue reflects body hydration. In a dry fast, your mouth may be drier than in other fasts because that is the goal. To dehydrate slowly to lower levels. The main reason for dry mouth during a dry fast is that we are not taking in water and allowing our body to produce high-quality water. How long does Xerostomia last? Dry fasts cause dry mouth because we don't drink water. The sensation of dry mouth will increase in severity as the number of days we fast increase. To some extent, this is to be anticipated and considered normal. Even dry fasting's soft and hard varieties will have their unique characteristics. What are the main reasons for dry mouth? The main reasons for dry mouth during a dry fast are as follows:

During dry fasts, the sensation of dry mouth is often heightened because of the increased release of toxins that occurs during a detox crisis.

During a dry fast, our bodies shift their focus from actively producing water to passively healing and repairing us, leading to increased dehydration while sleeping and the driest mouths possible.

If we are constantly on the go, our mouths can become extremely dry due to the constant swallowing and spitting required. In addition, it is possible to overheat if we exert ourselves beyond the rate at which our bodies can replenish their energy needs, leading to severe cases of dry mouth and other discomforts.

It is important to note that our surroundings also cause severe cases of dry mouth. This is because our bodies' metabolic rates tend to increase in warmer environments while cooler environments slow them down, affecting the dry mouth. When fasting, how do I prevent a dry mouth? It is impossible to completely prevent dry mouth during a dry fast. The impact and severity of it can be mitigated in the following ways:

● Keeping oneself in a cool environment. ● Relaxing and minimizing movements. ● Mouth water rinses can be done in a soft dry fast by swigging water around the mouth to hydrate the inside of the mouth and then spitting it out. ● Consume plenty of fluid-rich foods before fasting.

We hope that this better helps you understand dry mouth and the reasons that cause it during fasting.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

when i say i wish people started using the reblog button more i don't mean it in a 'i want more notes' kind of way i mean it in a 'i want to read about your thoughts on this particular thing' and 'i want to have conversations in the tags' and 'i want this to feel like a community again and not like any of those boring social media platforms where artists are content creators and interactions never goes beyond a like'

To me it’s the fact that Steve assumed Robin had a license but still woke up 3 hours before his work shift to drive her to school everyday.

That is not a plot hole everybody, that is just the kind of person Steve Harrington is.

The Ambassador

So! It was finally happening. After Years of Pleading with the Guardians and other Ruling Bodies of the Galactic Community, the Justice League had finally gotten then to agree to create an Alliance with Earth.

With an Alliance, Earth would gain the Protection of Multiple Empires and The Guardians, which would mean an end to the Constant Alien Invasions they faced. There was also the legal opening of Trade Routes between Planets to exchange Technology and Resources on the Galactic Scale.

Of course Earth would return the Favor, legally being able to defend it's Allies with its unusually large population if Superheroes and quickly advancing Tech, while also trading Tech and Resources between Planets.

Of course the battle was not entirely won yet.

They still needed to begin Negotiations to see if both sides would even agree to the Alliance in the First Place, as well as decide on the specifics of the Treaty. The United Nation's would decide on Ambassadors to represent the different countries, while the different Alien Governments would send an Ambassador Each.

When the Ambassadors arrived, they asked to be introduced to the Representatives of the Planet. Except, they claimed that there was a missing Member.

They claimed that there was one more Major Kingdom on the Planet, the most Powerful One, which they felt must be at the Negotiations.

When asked who this missing Ambassador was, they simply replied, "King Phantom of the Infinite Realms, he and a Shard of his Kingdom reside on this Planet, do they not?"

Now they are working around the clock to find this missing Kingdom, because the Alien Ambassadors refused to negotiate without the most powerful Kingdom at the Table, and they woud not wait forever.

Just who was this "King Phantom", and why had he not revealed himself yet?

...

Sam and Tucker sat on the Couch in their apartment, staring at the TV as the Chosen Representatives for America finished their Speech. Apparently the Peace Talks had been put on Hold for a few more days as they did some last minute preparations. Something about making their Guests more comfortable before they began discussing politics.

"Hey Danny, they're delaying the Negotiations for a few more days." Sam called over to the Kitchen.

"Aw, what?!" Shouted Danny from the Kitchen, sounding extremely disappointed, "I just finished making all the Popcorn!"

"I know Honey, its too bad." Tucker comforted his Partner, "Let's marathon Star Trek instead, how about that?"

Danny slumped out of kitchen and into the Couch between them, steaming bowl of Popcorn in his Lap, "I guess. We can make good use of all this popcorn at least."

Sam patted him on the arm, "Hey it's okay, the Talks will just take a few more days."

Danny shrugged, "Yeah, you're right. Man, what I wouldn't give to be in that Room."

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice
