Safe and Effective Fasting

Why do people decide to go on a fast? Does fasting really boost cognitive performance and reduce epileptic seizures? How does fasting affect chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular diseases? How beneficial is fasting for weight loss? Does weight come back after we start eating again?

Although fasting has been practised for thousands of years, all of these questions are still subject to debate. But large amount of research have shown that alternating cycles of fasting and calorie-restricted diets make us healthier and live longer, that we have better insulin control and we cope better with anxiety and depression. Burning fat provides much cleaner energy for the body in the form of ketones, the preferred food of the brain. No wonder the great thinkers of the world had the most impactful insights while fasting!

The Safe and Effective Fasting course teaches you:

  • Different types of fasting (including intermittent fasting, juice fasting, water fasting) and their benefits and drawbacks.

  • How to prepare for a fast and how to reintroduce foods after starting to eat again.

  • How long to fast and what kind of reactions you can experience during fasting.

History of Fasting

Fasting is abstinence from food for a specific period of time. It has been a part of human history for thousands of years, mostly for religious and spiritual purposes. As a healing practice, fasting became widely used by the Father of Medicine, Greek physician Hippocrates, who claimed that “to eat when sick is to feed sickness”.

Hippocrates was also the first to use fasting when treating patients with seizures and this practice was eventually revived in modern times when fasting proved to be beneficial for people suffering from epilepsy. Eventually, the ketogenic diet was created to mimic the effects of fasting, although research has consequently shown that they are two different treatments.

As humans, we have to be aware that fasting is actually in our DNA. Our ancestors ate when they caught an animal or found fruits and nuts, so winters were mostly the periods of fasting. Scientists have also discovered that fasting periods allowed our ancestors to clear their brains and increase their metabolic rate this, in turn, helped them to figure out how, when and where to find or catch their next meal.
