Inflammation goes down simply from the same mechanism that makes your feel hunger pangs.

In our current world, we never have to feel hunger for long, and, guess what, we have a lot of inflammation maladies plaguing us.

In our current world, we never have to feel hunger for long, and, guess what, we have a lot of inflammation maladies plaguing us.

Every drug I see advertised on TV seems to be for an inflammation-related illness.

[Secret Agent Man]

When you hold off eating for most of the day, or days, your body can shift into a major housecleaning mode and autophagy really gets to work, cleaning up junk and damaged cells in the body. It can recycle things for new cells, and get rid of garbage it can’t.

But it cant do it to this high degree if you are continually eating through the day.

[Telepathic Intruder]

As hunter-gatherers, hunger was natural. There were times of plenty when hunting and gathering were good, and we ate all we could and stored it in the best way possible—as fat. Then in the winter when hunting and gathering were not so good, we would burn more fat than we took in, feeling hungry the whole time. Our modern perception is that it’s healthy to eat every time we feel hungry, when what it really means is that your body has just switched to burning fat.

I’m on a mission to eliminate hunger.
Starting with the man in the mirror.

[Psalm 73]

Yet another incidence of a spiritual principle having a concrete physical use.

Never liked going into a fast, but have always been amazed at how great I feel afterwards.

90% of Americans will never realize hunger. 50% could probably fast for a couple weeks and finally get down to a reasonable weight.
