When the body is under stress, it produces chemicals that minimize damage.

I've done a 24 hour fast on several occasions and one 3 day fast. I only fast when I feel being led by God to do so. As far as for my health, meh, I wish I could say I do it for that. To me it's a by product of doing it for religious reasons. What I noticed about 3 days is the first day is hard, the second day was easier and the third day was a piece of cake....lol Just getting that first 24 hours is the hardest your body really fights it.

I've also done a Daniel fast. No meat, no junk, no coffee, tea, milk products. Nothing but, whole grains, fruits and veggies. After a week I was crying Uncle...lol The no meat thing got to me.

I take resveratrol. Two-fer sales are common so it’s not too expensive.

It is a bit pricey. It seems to aggravate my migraines. But it seems to work. Time will tell.

I’ve been fasting for two days a week for the last six months.

I quickly dropped 15 pounds.

And then my weight stabilized.

I like the discipline and I like the way I feel.

I think my body was designed for feast and famine.

Certainly it has adjusted to this routine.

I used to feel weak at the end of two days. But not now.

The fasting sharpens me. Typically I’ll work out a bit harder on fast days to burn fat.

I think that I could do a third day but generally I don’t care to.

But I might. I would be better off 15 pounds lighter.

When I was in my 20s/30s I'd regularly fast on juice one day a week, 3 days a week with a gradual build up diet a few times a year.

I had a lot of great results. Calmness, clarity of perception, weight control, normalized appetite the rest of the time.

Once I had a strong intoxication for a few hours after repeated three day fasts. I had the impression that I was burning calories from fatty tissues that were storing cannabinoids leftover from youthful mistakes.

Balderdash

It has been known for a very long time. Lent and Ramadan are both evidence of the knowledge.
