FASTING VS STARVING

1. Fasting targets your body fat, while starving goes after your muscles and organs.

When you’re starving, it means there’s no more fat to burn. Fat is an energy reserve your body stores. When you start fasting, your body feeds on this energy source.

2. When you’re fasting, you have a spike in growth hormones; when you’re starving, you have atrophy of the muscles; your muscles begin to waste away; you hit a decline.

3. With starvation, there's a cognitive deficit; your mental processes and thinking become impaired, but with fasting, you have neurogenesis, which is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain.

4. With starvation, you’re going to be weak and tired, but fasting makes you stronger and more energetic. You feel strong like crazy; your entire body is focused on getting things done; you’re not trying to digest things.

5. With starvation, you start having nutritional deficiencies like Beri-beri, pellagra, and scurvy, and your immune system becomes weakened.

With fasting, your immune system builds up, your body’s antioxidant are improved, your metabolism is improved, how?

The good bacteria in your gut starts to become diversified and start to live longer. Your intestinal walls become strengthened.

What people don’t know is that overloading the system with food, especially overly processed foods like junk food, shawarma, pizza, hot dogs, and the like, is very bad. Your system and the enzymes weren’t designed to handle such things.

When you constantly eat overly processed foods, they frustrate the enzymes, they frustrate the intestinal walls, they mess with your gut, and to a great extent wipe the good bacteria, this can then result in inflammation with resultant symptoms like heart burn, indigestion, acid reflux, etc.

6. With fasting, inflammation goes away. The enzymes in your liver becomes strengthened. When you fast, you kill off cancer cells like crazy.

7. Fasting is healthy, starving is not.

The interesting thing is, people don’t eat for a day and think they’re starving. My dear, no, you’re not even close to starving. There’s enough fat reserve in your body to carry you for at least 2days (48hrs).

The longer you stay away from food, the more fasting benefits you.

Fasting 2x in a week is very healthy for the body (intermittent fasting), and going on a prolonged fast (i.e 48hrs and so on) from time to time is even more beneficial.

It’s important you start gradually, for example, you haven’t fasted before and you just wake up and jump to 48hrs fasting, it will bite you, it will harm you. Start with intermittent fasting, 10hrs, 16hrs fast, 22hrs, 24hrs, and you build on it.
While you fast, what can you eat or have that doesn’t break the fast?

1. Water
2. Black coffee (this is coffee without sugar or any additive in it. It’s just plain coffee)
3. Diluted apple cider vinegar
Let me make it very simple for you. When you’re not eating you’re fasting.

Let’s say today you have your last meal by 8pm. Then your next meal for tomorrow is by 2pm, then you have fasted for 18hrs. That’s intermittent fasting (IF).

After a long fast (like 24hrs, 48hrs, etc), what you use to break it is very important. The longer the fast the more it’s important for you to use simple liquids or semi solids in breaking your fast.

You can’t finish 48hrs fast and you rush to eat 4 swallows. That’s wrong. You will end up harming yourself.

You can’t close your fast and you’re rushing junks and soda, that will cancel out all the benefits from the fasting.

It’s best to use semi solids and liquids to break long fast.

The following can be used in breaking your long fast:

-avocado
-hard boiled eggs
-soups
-vegetables
-fermented foods like unsweetened yoghurt, unsweetened kefir.

DID YOU KNOW???

When you get injured, in the healing process your body might form scars to heal the wound, certain times there is accumulation of excessive amount of collagen resulting in a raised scar which do not regress. This is known as a KELOID (raised scar).
Image
Image
What’s collagen?
Collagen is the main structural protein in mammals.
-Some people form even more chronic and larger keloids than others.

-If you notice your body is prone to forming keloids, avoid things that can injure you. Stay off sharp and injurious objects or activities as much as you can. Very important.

-Who are those affected? Well, keloids affect both sexes equally.

Do keloids have a genetic component?

Yes, keloids have a genetic component.

What does it mean? It means, if either of your parents have keloid, there is chance that you too will, if you’re not careful.

Normally, keloids form only when you get injured but in some people, keloids form in places (skin surface) without injuries. Though, it’s rare.

Race? Keloid is most common amongst African-Americans.

5 reasons why eggs are good for your health.

1. Eggs contain all the essential amino acids. Amino acids are the ultimate building blocks. Your body doesn’t produce essential amino acids, so you need to get them from food daily and one of the major sources is eggs.
2. Eggs contain choline. A single egg contain about 147mg of choline. Choline is good for the brain, it is an essential nutrient required for the normal development of the brain.
3. Eggs contain loads of minerals and vitamins. In fact eggs contain a small amount of almost all the vitamins and minerals your body needs like calcium, selenium, iron, potassium, zinc, vitamin E, folate and many many more.
Eggs contain vitamin B2, B5, & B12. Eggs contain vit A. Image

There was a farmer named Fleming; he was a poor Scottish farmer. He took care of his farm as if his life depended on it. One day, when he was on the farm trying to make a living for his family, he heard the cry of a child.
The child was crying out for help. The cry for help was coming from a nearby bog (a wet, muddy ground). He left what he was doing and ran to the bog. When he reached there, he saw the terrified boy screaming and struggling to free himself.
Farmer Fleming saved the boy from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, there was a glamorous carriage in front of Fleming's house. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the little boy Fleming saved; he went thus: "I want to repay you", "you saved my son’s life". "No, I cannot accept payment for what I did," the farmer replied, waving off the offer.

This surprised the nobleman, but at the moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family’s hut. The nobleman asked, "Is that your son? "Yes," the father replied with great pride.

There was one time I got this effervescent vitamin C tablets. I put it in water and drank, that night, my stomach was upside down. I checked the contents and boom “aspartame” was used (i.e the sweetener). I researched aspartame and what I discovered wasn’t good.
They say it’s better than sugar, that it’s healthier, that’s bullshit. It messes up your gut. Harms the microflora. And it doesn’t surprise one bit that it can cause cancer. This is the rubbish that is sold in drinks and a lot of other things.
What is killing us more than anything is what we are eating. What we are drinking. You eat and drink rubbish, you experience rubbish.

Our forefathers lived healthier lives because they had no such thing in their diets, they ate home grown foods, grass fed cows, and the like.

Stella has been married for 5 years now and has no child. She has gotten pregnant twice, but it was the same tragedy: the child dies after birth. The last one died three months after birth, just as she finished celebrating. People in the village are already saying she is a witch.
Her husband is not even finding it easy anymore, as he is the only son, and his family is on his neck to marry another woman and send her away.
She was crying and thinking back, wondering whether it was her past that was haunting her now—was it the abortion? Femi, it won’t be well with you", she shouted while crying, but why now that she is happily married to a man who truly loves her?
