A Simple Way to Regain and Maintain Your Health

It’s funny: when searching for a nice image to go with this article, the only picture coming up for “fasting” was an empty plate with knife and fork. Quite unimaginative, let alone positive. But it probably shows what many people associate with the word “fasting”: lack, going hungry, no food allowed, a punitive act even.

To me, fasting represents none of those. While some people use it for weight loss, this is not my motivation. Shedding weight may be a welcome side effect, but not the reason for fasting. That is something else: to give the digestive system a break and to detoxify the body. Simple as that. One can fast for shorter or longer periods: we do it every night, breaking fast every morning, at breakfast. So don’t say you can’t do it, because, if you can read this, you’re already an expert of many years. 

Some people advocate for a regular, prolonged fast over night, with a fasting period of up to 12 hours. Others hold periodic fasting days to relieve their system. Traditionally, all religions include fasting in one form or another, going back centuries. Most cultures know of fasting as a method of rejuvenation, healing, and rebalancing the body, from ancient Egypt and Greece to Indian Ayurveda and modern Western science (e.g.Boschmann & Michalsen 2013, Fuhrman et al. 2002, Mueller et al. 2001). It makes sense our bodies developed this ability to switch between external and internal energy supply, as during hunter-gathering days, foodless periods alternated with periods of abundance – to maintain its integrity, the body had to learn how to deal with times of deprivation while keeping the organism intact.

Why fasting on purpose, though? What are the benefits? How does it work? What do I need? How long should I fast? Let’s see. There are different ways to go about this. Just choose what resonates and leave the rest.
