8/24 Health Thought of the Day (Fasting) Graham, 2001

8/24

 

 

 

Fasting is a period of comprehensive, maximal rest augmented by abstinence

from all foods. Fasting is not starving. During a fast, a person literally

lives from his reserves, consuming excess fats, labile and waste proteins

converting them as necessary to glucose for fuel. Vital tissues, such as

brain, nerve, heart, liver and kidneys, etc., remain virtually untouched.

Water is consumed in sufficient quantity to satisfy thirst and physiologic

requirements. Rest is the biggest factor in enhancing recovery. It is only

when the body is at rest that it is able to direct the maximum energy

towards the various chemical and mechanical processes of detoxification

associated with recovery.
