YOU CAN FAST I will talk you into fasting at least 12 hours a dayYou will agree that for most of the last 4000 years this was the normal. People ate at around sunrise and sunset. Your body is designed to do this, and you will understand the benefits of this normal fast.FASTINGFasting is part of the normal homeostasis of your body and is an essential part of the renewal process of the cells. You will understand autophagy and agree with me that more is better. Many of you will try to fast for twenty-four hours, some for thirty-six. I assure you that anyone not on any special medications should be able to do this. Of course the question is: WHY SHOULD I FAST TO START WITH?The book goes over what happens in your body when you fast and why you will not get hungry (after a couple days). Also, we will talk about the fear of fasting. Therapeutic fasting is a fast to lose weight, not to stay healthy. I will tell you all about it, but once you lose the weight, you must go on a different diet than you have right now, or you will get fat again. Make sure you read the entire book before you do this. AUTOPHAGYFasting induces autophagy, which is the mechanism by which your body rids itself of worn-out cell parts, AGEs are abnormal proteins that accumulate in your body to cause damage and Is the principle element in aging. Of course, autophagy is what prevents this. Obviously, we want more autophagy and less AGEs. The modern western diet has us going in the opposite direction.
