How to break a fast

[Valleyman]

Does anyone have any suggestions what type of foods are best to break a fast of having just fluids for 4+ days and why?

I'd highly suggest fruits and vegetables, because if you went and ate meat right after a long fast, you could possibly get sick, or your digestive system might not take it so well.

If you mean that you didn't eat for 12-16 hours, eat something sweet, maybe fruits.

I suggest you try dates if you can find some in New Zealand it's not a fruit or a vegetable it's both sweet and very very rich with vitamins and iron

my ancestors used to live on only dates for thousands of years.

Thanks for your help and advice.

I live in the "Fruit Bowl" of New Zealand, so fruit and veges are in abundance. I'm also planning to grow some of my own, but that still on the "to do list". Not sure about dates, I'll do some research on that.

I disagree I would eat dry toast. I think if you eat fruit it could lead to diarrhoea, although hopefully it didn't (just seen the date of this post!)
