How And Why We Fast

Fasting is a simple concept, except it is one of the most misunderstood health practices in the modern era. Much of this confusion comes from the medical establishment, which generally has an unfavourable view of fasting. However, the practice is actually one of the most powerful curative techniques known.

Fasting works through aiding the body’s eliminative system, but is more than just bringing about physiological changes by restricting food intake.
