Fasting: The Secret To Health
Fasting is the process of refraining from Food or refraining from any certain activity for an extend period of time. Many of you eat every 3-4 hours 3 meals a day or even go to exercise 5 days a week. For many years, the general standard for eating food is breakfast, lunch and dinner...
The rates of obesity has significant increased in America and other parts of the world due to this eating structure. The time when the body heals and grows is when the body is being broken down, but when it has time to process and recover. Healing and Recover occurs when the body is peaceful and calm, this is when there is nothing much going on.
Fasting is the abstinence from activities for a longer than normal period of time. Allowing for that activity to become more pleasurable and more delightful. When the body is has room to forget about food, it allows you to become focused at the task at hand. Your mind is not worried about when is lunch coming or where is my next meal. It focuses on getting the work done so that you can eat.
What is fasting?
Fasting is the continual progress of taking a break for a extended period of certain things to get what you want to achieve first. Fasting starts from refraining from doing the thing for a while and letting it transfer the energy into more productive things that have a larger reward in Life. Fasting builds the willpower and intention because there is less energy being focused everywhere.
5 BENEFITS OF FASTING
CLEANSING OUT DEAD CELLS
Our bodies when it goes through sleep has healing qualities allowing the day to day things of Life be processed. Our bodies has a process called apoptosis which is the killing of dead cells and allows only the strongest cells to survive. Apoptosis is so beneficial for our brains because it allows for new growth of brain cells and allows for a stronger wiring and connection between them. It clears out the dead cels from our body allowing for new ones to come in.
Imagine for a second that you have a house full of dirty clothing in your closet. Apoptosis is like a maid that comes in and sorts through the clothing seeing which ones are still viable to wear while the others are really ripped up and needing to be thrown out. It allows you know that you need to get better or newer clothing. The same thing happens with our cells allowing only the most powerful and strongest cells to survive while the weaker cells get washed out of the system.
REWIRING NUERAL PATHWAYS
We are what we do in Life and most of our life is formed through habits. Fasting breaks bad habits because the mind is on a constant feedback loop signaling that this activity has to happen. People often eat food when their body is not hungry purely out of habit. They have plenty of fat to burn.
When Fasting occurs, the body and mind realize that there is no need to get extra energy from the outside world. It will start turning inward and burning the fat from the inside. It allows for the system in the body to turn inward and start healing broken systems that might not need to be there.
In the Modern world, there is so much stimulus of dopamine everywhere from watching television, to scrolling through social media, etc…
The moment a person is able to break away from the stimulus and fast from it for a few day. They are able to see how truly addicted a person is to their own vices. The goal in life is to rewire the neural pathways to find the more basic things more interesting and fun again.
Many people in this world try and chase the high; dopamine.
All life comes down to is doing the things considered “boring” or hard.
It allows the brain to find greater reward in doing harder and harder things in Life. The most famous people in this world are the ones who are able to do the hardest things in Life.
RELEASE TRAUMA IN THE BODY
Fasting brings out the old wounds and injuries in the body. Fasting brings out the old traumas and painful memories that have been numbed so long. By doing nothing the brain has nothing to do, but heal. There are many things to heal from mental, physical or emotional pain and fasting brings it out into the surface to become processed. Before a major surgery, a doctor will inform a person to fast 24 hours to ensure that the body is completely in a normalize resting state.
Imagine for a second that the place you are living in has a extra person living in it. That extra person is running a mess in the place and instead of talking to them and calming down the entire situation.
You constantly avoid them by doing other things…That extra person will eventually make a mess bigger and bigger to where it becomes a major problem.
The only way to fix a problem is through the problem. When you constantly go around the problem, the problem will keep on coming back stronger and stronger, the same patterns will repeat itself until you have learned your lesson. When you actually go through a problem and overcome it, you become a stronger person.
COOLS DOWN INFLAMMATION
Inflammation is the number one killer of human kind formed through a little thing we know as STRESS…
The body gets very hot and overwhelmed, frustrated and unable to function properly. You’ll find a person probably trying to distract themselves from the problem or get in over their head trying to numb down the stress by drinking on the weekends instead of facing it head on.
Fasting takes care of that problem completely. Fasting helps reduce all things in your life into one simple thing, finding food and surviving. When the survival instinct gets kicked on the body gets put into a fight or flight state. Through that fight or flight state, the survival hormones get turned on and life becomes more and more clear.
Knowing what to do and how to do it. There are no distractions when all distractions become focused on one thing, how do I survive…
HEALS THE BODY
Healing the Body is the main goal of Fasting. It helps reduces the comfort that is numbing the main problem. So people turn to video games, others turn to food, and others turn into relationships. The main thing is that it helps brings peace to the body, by allowing for normal stimulation to come and return the body to what is suppose to be like.
There are so many triggers and things of the world that has caused the brain and body to become overstimulate and fasting helps recover from all that.
