BENEFITS OF FASTING:

Fasting makes you smarter, eating less can make you smarter. Fasting boosts the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Or BDNF to you and me. BDNF is a protein that signals the production of neurons that promote your brain’s health

This powerful protein has also been shown to combat symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease...

FASTING CAN HELP YOU LIVE LONGER:

Fasting for periods of 12 hours or longer can trigger what is known as autophagy...

Autophagy is a process that we go through on a regular basis as we age and that is to regenerate and repair. It’s sort of like ‘house cleaning’ on a cellular level.  Old, dead proteins and other toxins that hang around too long tend to clog up our bodies and reduce daily function

This also speeds up the ageing process and can lead to a whole host of other age-related illnesses, including dementia. There are a few methods that we can use to trigger this process of cell renewal. One of the most effective is fasting!...

Fasting lowers your insulin levels which can dramatically increase the autophagy process..

FASTING CAN REDUCE INFLAMMATION:

Chronic inflammation has now been linked with the vast majority of chronic diseases. 350 million people worldwide suffer from conditions like arthritis...

..and osteoporosis. Inflammation is caused by the release of cells in our bodies called monocytes that are produced through bad eating habits. Fasting can put monocytes into ‘sleep mode.’ Monocytes in the fed state, are far more inflammatory than those monocytes in a fasted state

Not eating anything it is also a method of colon cleansing. It helps the kidneys and liver eliminate harmful toxins from the body..🍃
