Day 7 and fasting vs. starvation
Day 7 and feeling fabulous!
A few years ago I would never have thought I could go a week without food and live simply on water AND feel great while doing it!
I would have thought that I would die of starvation! What many people don't realize (A few years back, I didn't) is that fasting and starvation are nowhere near being the same thing.
When you are starving, your body sacrifices its vital tissues to keep you alive.
On the contrary, when you are fasting your vital tissues are protected and instead your body self-digests damaged/diseased tissue, tumors, cysts, excess fat, abnormal growths, etc.
Your body goes into a deep cleansing mode where it essentially dumps the bad and protects the good (ex. like your muscles).
I have learned of women diagnosed with uterine tumors and were told they would need to have a hysterectomy (remove the uterus) in order to remove the tumor. They wisely decided to fast and the tumors either "disappeared" or were dramatically decreased in size, thus avoiding surgery and losing their uterus.
Then there are those men who even in much older ages have youthful, muscular bodies. Their secret: fasting.
I challenge you to seek out a man of advanced age who is also a regular faster and look at his body compared to his peers who have never fasted a day in their life.
The latter have lost muscle tone and youthfulness, while the faster has the body of a man many decades younger.
Their is no cream, pill, drink, or potion on earth with more powerful anti-aging properties than fasting. None!
Very informative! If more people fasted, there would be less sick people.
I'm a living testimony that fasting and changing my diet makes a difference in our health and our overall well being.
Great post!

Thanks, I wrote this post mostly because of all the common misconceptions out there regarding fasting.
Yes, you are a living testament and through your blog others are encouraged!
