Fasting - Awaken the healer inside yourself

"Everyone can perform magic, everyone can reach his goals, if he is able to think, if he is able to wait, if he is able to fast. " - Herrmann Hesse šŸ§žā€ā™€ļøšŸ§šā€ā™€ļøšŸ§™ā€ā™€ļøšŸ§™ā€ā™‚ļø


Gandhi fasted. Julia Roberts, Will Smith, Thomas Gottschalk - The list is endless.


Although the reasons for fasting may be as different as the people that do it, the positive effect for our mind and body are very similar. šŸ˜²

Of the few things in life that we know to be healthy and life-prolonging, fasting is at the forefront. Fasting is the voluntary renunciation of the intake of liquid or solid food.Unlike animals, only humans are able to fast.

Even the leaders of all great religions (Buddha, Jesus & Mohammed) favored fasting because power and resilience of body and mind grow with it.


Attempts to confirm the positive effects of fasting began in 1935 by Clive McKay. He was able to show that rats, when given very little food for a while, nearly doubled their life expectancy.

I myself practice intermittent fasting every day. By doing so, I abstain from solid food for 16 hours or more hours. And it feels so good. šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

When food is no longer available in the digestive tract, our organism starts to take care of regeneration and the repair of damaged cells - called autophagy.
