All about Detoxification through Fasting  

Many studies have proven that fasting brings about many health benefits. Fasting has long existed in history and has been in practice by many people from many religions and all walks of life. Now more and more evidences point to the fact that fasting can play an integral role in modern medicine.

In the practice of Buddhism, monks generally have their meals before 11 o’clock in the morning and refrain from any meals in the night. For some Buddhist sects, the monks would only have one meal per day. In Islam, Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan from sunrise till sunset and has been a religious practice for many centuries. During the Chinese vegetarian festival, people from the Chinese community refrain themselves from eating any form of meat.

In actual fact, humans and animals have many things in common especially in terms of their eating behavior. It has been observed that wild animals do not regularly have meals and they also fast when they are sick. In human beings, our appetite also gets affects when we do not feel well. This is our body’s naturally way of giving itself a break and at the same time induce self-healing.

In general, we normally have 3 meals a day. The body will then naturally rest or fast while we sleep. Breaking of fast begins with our first meal of the day in the morning. However, due to the demanding schedules and lifestyle practices, most of us have late meals, go to bed late at night and wake up early. Hence, due to this, the body has less time to recharge and repair itself. 

As a result, degeneration occurs more often and we tend to fall ill easily. Today, many research scientist closely relate with our immunity with the health of our gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, everyone should realize the importance of gut health and how it can affect us. As the body needs energy to digest food and eliminate toxins, the body can rests and heals itself when a person fast. The role of fasting enables the gastrointestinal tract and metabolism to slow down which will then lead to the process of natural healing.
