C.O. Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wow, I've always been kind of anit-fasting. My mother taught me eating something unhealthy was better than not eating anything at all because your body needs fuel. This video is very insightful. Maybe ill give it a try sometime. I a very short term scale. Like may be one day, because I am really scared that if I don't eat for longer than say 2 hours I feel like I'm actually going to die haha. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wamrage Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Fasting is great.I usually do a 2 day fast with water only.It really cleans the body. 11 Health Benefits of Fasting Posted by Mush Panjwani on August 23, 2009 I found enormous amounts of material when I started looking for the health benefits of fasting. It seemed that every expert in medicine, health and fitness had something to say about the benefits of fasting. But the following piece from Dr. Cinque summarizes it all very well: Fasting promotes detoxification. As the body breaks down its fat reserves, it mobilizes and eliminates stored toxins. Fasting gives the digestive system a much-needed rest. After fasting, both digestion and elimination are invigorated. Fasting promotes the resolution of inflammatory processes, such as in rheumatoid arthritis. Fasting quiets allergic reactions, including asthma and hay fever. Fasting promotes the drying up of abnormal fluid accumulations, such as edema in the ankles and legs and swelling in the abdomen. Fasting corrects high blood pressure without drugs. Fasting will normalize blood pressure in the vast majority of cases, the blood pressure will remain low after the fast, if the person follows a health-supporting diet and lifestyle. Fasting makes it easy to overcome bad habits and addictions. Many people have overcome tobacco and alcohol addictions by fasting, and even drug addictions. Fasting rapidly dissipates the craving for nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and other drugs. Fasting clears the skin and whitens the eyes. It is common to see skin eruptions clear while fasting, and the whites of the eyes never look so clear and bright as they do after fasting. Fasting restores taste appreciation for wholesome natural foods. People say that their taste buds come alive after fasting and that food never tasted so good. Fasting is the perfect gateway to a healthful diet and lifestyle. Going on a fast gives you the motivation and enthusiasm to make a fresh start. Fasting initiates rapid weight loss with little or no hunger. Most people are surprised at how little desire for food they have while fasting.
