To promote your health, overcome chronic ailments, and give your immunity a huge boost, we recommend fasting for one or more days. Under fasting we understand<\/strong>; drink only water. You eat nothing for a day or more and you only drink water. This is also called water fasting.
\nFasting aims to improve all your bodily functions. By resting the digestive system, the body is able to resolve underlying issues, such as eliminating toxins, attacking and clearing viruses and germs, and restoring weaker bodily functions.<\/p>\n

A concise description of the biochemistry of fasting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a typical diet, carbohydrates are the main source of energy. The body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Some of this glucose is used for energy production, and some can be stored in the liver as glycogen.
\nThrough the first two days of fasting, the liver will use its stored glycogen for energy. To ensure sufficient energy, the body switches to fat burning; this occurs after 2 days of fasting in women and after 3 days in men. Burning fatty acids produces ketones. This is called ketogenesis<\/strong> This is a normal physiological process that you can also induce by exercising on an empty stomach, by fasting, or by eating a ketogenic diet.
\nIt is this ketogenic phase that matters. It causes the body to detoxify more deeply, repair mechanisms kick in, cancer cells are denied their necessary glucose, etc.<\/p>\n
