What is Fasting, and How Does it Affect You?

What is Fasting, and How Does it Affect You?

Fasting, an age-old practice dating back to ancient times, is gaining popularity again. But what is it, and why do people fast?

 

 The Basics of Fasting  

Fasting simply means abstaining from food for a certain period. When you stop eating, your digestive system rests, allowing your body to focus on healing and repair. This process reduces inflammation, a major factor in many pains and illnesses.

Types of Fasting 

People fast for various reasons—religious, weight loss, or health benefits. Some common approaches include:

• Intermittent Fasting: Ideal for beginners, this involves eating within specific time window, like fasting for 16 hours overnight.
• Juice Fasts & Water Fasts: Lasting 24-36 hours or more, these provide a deeper cleanse.
• Fasting with Food: Programs like ProLon simulate fasting benefits while allowing small amounts of food.
