Fasting for Health

[Peasie]

If you fast regularly, do you minding sharing about it here? I am very interested.

Recently my sister and I have been following the Intermittent Fasting program. So here's the documentary that caught our attention

The book is unfortunately called The Fast Diet but it is not about a diet for losing weight although that is a benefit. Research shows that nothing is more effective in increasing human lifespan than caloric restriction. But during fasting periods, the body also kicks into repair mode, fixing and protecting tissues, organs and the nervous system.

The idea of fasting is to give your body a break, a real break. When you take your car on a long run it gets hot and eventually need to cool down, even with coolant fluids running through.
When you do a fast one day an nyaam the next day your organs did not get a break as it was still working on what was in you from the day before.
3 days is an optimum timing for a good fast, your system gets a break and gets to chill out likkle bit. The 1st day is the hardest the next day hald way through you see how much easier it is and by day 3 you're thinking you can do this another day. You actually feel like you have nuff energy still by day 3 and don't feel any dizziness till day 5

You can do a water fast or juice fast or be tough as rock and do a true fast. I did it once, but to do that you need be on a journey alone with no distractions.

Yes, we need to give the digestive system a chance to not overwork all the time. I like the two-day a week limited fasting (500 cals on two days). It is manageable and helps me not be so food-centric on the other 5 "feast" days. I wil consider a three day fast like DahJah suggests. Maybe later this year
