FASTING IS PREVENTION AND CURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fasting is the abstinence from all food for a defined period of time, during which the body only "feeds" on water and its own reserves. The more fat we have, the more food the body has to use during fasting. The stresses of modern life are sufficient in themselves to produce general bodily intoxication, whether or not this manifests itself in symptoms of illness, indicating the need for a period of fasting and cleansing. It is not necessary to be ill to fast. Fasting is about practicing preventative medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n WHAT DOES THE BODY EAT? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let's remember that the body not only needs nutrients, but we also feed on the four elements of nature: earth, water, air, and sun. An overweight or average-weight person can survive without eating for several weeks, without drinking for several days, without breathing for only a few minutes. If the sun didn't send its light, energy, and heat, they wouldn't even be able to survive the time between one inhalation and the exhalation that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WHO SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT FAST? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n WHAT MECHANISMS ARE ACTIVATED WHEN FASTING? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BENEFITS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HOURS OF FASTING <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're just starting out, it's good to go slowly, getting your body used to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 4 hours of fasting \u2013 glycogen stores are used<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 8 hours of fasting \u2013 increases testosterone and growth hormone levels<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 12 hours of fasting \u2013 carbohydrate reserves (sugars) are depleted and fat reserves begin to be used as food<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 16 hours of fasting \u2013 the autophagy process begins, the body begins to phagocytose old, damaged proteins and use those amino acids (from fruits and vegetables) to build other proteins, this process is the key to the renewal of body tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 20 to 22 hours of fasting \u2013 stem cell production begins<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Karmelo Bizkarra, Graduate in Medicine and Hygienist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n FREE MASTERCLASS THE POWER OF FASTING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
