About this listen

Do you want to know how fasting can help you live your best life without feeling hungry?

Do you see the word "fasting" and think "why would I want to starve myself?"

There are quite a lot of reasons, and I wouldn’t quite say that you are starving yourself.

Fasting offers many more benefits than just losing weight. It can cure multiple diseases, boost physical performance, and even help you live longer.

You might think you will be hungry, miserable, deprived, and grumpy. This is not the case, and when you find out what fasting can do for your mind, body, and spirit, you will only be mad you didn’t start sooner!

Starting fasting can be daunting, but never fear. Everyone starts somewhere, and you can do it too.

In Why You Should Fast, you will discover:

  • What fasting is, and what it can do for you.
  • Methods of fasting, and the best one to suit your life.
  • A comprehensive list of diseases that fasting can treat.
  • How fasting can sharpen your mind.
  • How fasting can help you perform to the best of your abilities.
  • How fasting can help you get in touch with your spirituality.
  • How anyone can get started with fasting.
  • What to eat when fasting.

And much more!

Humans have been fasting for thousands of years, and anybody can start this wonderful practice, even with no knowledge or experience.

The book is written in such a way that anyone from a beginner to an intermediate can understand its explanations and concepts. I have I found it to have concrete examples, and tools that are easy to follow and engaging, especially for readers that are new to the subject.
The author presented relevant studies that show how fasting can reverse several diseases and can even improve your health. Disease prevention such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke, high cholesterol, asthma, cancer is explained with concepts. It shows an alternate alternative to living off medications by making their lives better. Fasting as a stressor pushing the body to burn fat, improving insulin sensitivity giving the body pancreas a rest ad prevents from developing diabetes by giving the beta cells a rest. The author also touched on the spiritual aspect as well as mental aspect of fasting. A well needed addition to any library.

This topic is very interesting to me because my dad does fasting and told me about it before, but he didn't explain how everything works in the body and skeptical about it. As I look back the history of his health, it makes sense. I am so happy that I found this book. I learned a lot from this book. There are lot of health benefits of fasting and a lot of scientific studies and real world examples, making the case for fasting even more convincing. And there are different type of fasting including intermittent fasting, water fasting, and juice fasting which I found fascinating because I think someday I do water and fasting with my busy day without realizing it.

" Why You Should Fast" emphasizes the importance of individualizing fasting protocols to suit different needs and goals. It provides practical advice on how to choose the right type of fasting, how to prepare for and break a fast, and how to incorporate fasting into your lifestyle safely and effectively.

Overall, this book is an excellent resources for anyone interested in health benefits of fasting.

Very Useful Resource!

It's a really intensive, easy-to-listen, and well-narrated book.
​The book's narrative was excellent and pleasant to hear. As mentioned above, the substance was suitable.​
