Benefits of Fasting

Fasting



Fasting is known as the practice of abstaining for food, usually for a short period of time. Despite its recent surge in popularity, fasting is a practice that dates back centuries and plays a central role in many cultures and religions. Fasting can be great for your overall health because it delays aging, detoxes and heals the body, increases human growth hormone, muscle growth, weight loss, . There are many different ways of fasting.


Water Fasting where we only drink water for 24 hours. Some people like to fast much longer up to a month. I’ve only been able to last for six days.


Intermittent Fasting where we don’t eat for 16 to 23 hours straight. This can be where we eat from 11AM to 7PM. These hours work best for me but you pick the hours that you eat the most and it can only be between 1 to 8 hours.


Juice Fasting where we only drink veggie and fruit juice, preferably organic. I used to make my own with a juicer, when we had an apartment, but once we started traveling I bought them at the store. Most stores from Walmart to Whole Foods now offer organic juices in theproduce section. I did a Juice Fast for 30 days and it completely reset my body. I felt so great.
