In the definition of the word, we find that fasting actually makes one physically strong healthy and increases mental clarity observe. Hippocrates, the father of Western Medicine prescribed fasting for healing of the human body. Throughout the Bible we are encouraged to fast, however, religious people who seek to make their belly their god, usually say that fasting is under the law. Nevertheless, in all religions we find the teachings of fasting and the wonderful benefits.
Isaiah clearly explains the outcome and benefits of fasting for spiritual purposes, giving us a list of what to expect: spiritual enlightenment, breaking addictions, emotional healing, physical healing, mental clarity, compassion for others, longevity and attracting wealth.
To achieve these types of outcome, one would have to go beyond missing one or two meals a day. These types of breakthroughs come when the body is fasted at least 3 consecutive days with water only. Among those in the church, there is a growing number addicted to street drugs, pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol. Fasting literally changes the DNA expression and codes, rewriting it to produce whatever the intent or prayer is. For example, if your intent is healing of cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, kidney failure, asthma, heart trouble, mental illness, even schizophrenia, the genetic codes can be rewritten through fasting and prayer.

An experiment is taking place in the heart of Russia on the Siberian Plains.
For the last 15 years fasting has become a central part of public health policy. It is based on 40 years of scientific studies unknown in the west. Asthma and allergies are being treated. Fasting is a universal method that can be effective against several diseases.
Under medical supervision the patients drink only water and stop medication for chronic conditions. The involvement of a professional is fundamental. The body must learn to live off its reserves after detoxification. Glucose, fats, and proteins are the body's fuels. After a day of fasting the body must make glucose out of protein. Exercise, body wraps, saunas, and colonic irrigation are prescribed to increase organ function. As the body adapts to fasting the head doesn't always follow. Patients have noticed that the psyche influences the body and can make it feel needs that it no longer has.
A sense of euphoria sets in when hunger subsides. Is the decrease in symptoms of patients who fast a placebo effect, or an effect of euphoria? Research was done in secret labs in the Soviet Union 60 years ago. Yuri Nikolayev observed the benefits of fasting in a patient who refused to eat. But research suggests that not all IF approaches are the same, and some IF diets are indeed effective and sustainable, especially when combined with a nutritious plant-based diet.
Our metabolism has adapted to daytime food, nighttime sleep. Nighttime eating is well associated with a higher risk of obesity, as well as diabetes. Based on this, researchers from the University of Alabama conducted a study with a small group of obese men with prediabetes. They compared a form of intermittent fasting called "early time-restricted feeding," where all meals were fit into an early eight-hour period of the day 7 am to 3 pm , or spread out over 12 hours between 7 am and 7 pm.
Both groups maintained their weight did not gain or lose but after five weeks, the eight-hours group had dramatically lower insulin levels and significantly improved insulin sensitivity, as well as significantly lower blood pressure. The best part? The eight-hours group also had significantly decreased appetite. But why does simply changing the timing of our meals to allow for fasting make a difference in our body?
Fasting is evolutionarily embedded within our physiology, triggering several essential cellular functions. Flipping the switch from a fed to fasting state does more than help us burn calories and lose weight. The researchers combed through dozens of animal and human studies to explain how simple fasting improves metabolism, lowers blood sugar levels; lessens inflammation, which improves a range of health issues from arthritic pain to asthma; and even helps clear out toxins and damaged cells, which lowers risk for cancer and enhances brain function.
According to metabolic expert Dr. Deborah Wexler, Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Diabetes Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, says "there is evidence to suggest that the circadian rhythm fasting approach, where meals are restricted to an eight to hour period of the daytime, is effective.
There is some good scientific evidence suggesting that circadian rhythm fasting, when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, can be a particularly effective approach to weight loss, especially for people at risk for diabetes. However, people with advanced diabetes or who are on medications for diabetes, people with a history of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not attempt intermittent fasting unless under the close supervision of a physician who can monitor them.

Every study seems to support cognitive and health benefits for IF. I started IF a month ago and I feel great. I plan to make IF a part of my life. I eat from 12PM to 8PM. I feel that skipping breakfast is the easiest thing to do.
If I get a little hungry in the morning, I use coffee as an appetite suppressant. Good luck! Hey, Im 16 years old. Should I try this? I also use special app on my phone to count protein, carbohydrates and fat, i understand that its really important for my body to work well and to have everything for it.
Some tips? Why do you conclude that evening fasting is better? Viewers also encounter dramatic case studies of liver damage reversal and arthritis mitigation at Germany's Buchinger Clinic, as well as the findings of an innovative gerontologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Together, these stories suggest a paradigm shift in our understanding of healing and human physiology. The one word of caution for those either new to it or planning a long fast is don't go it alone. You need feedback from those who have been there before--I disagree with those who imply everyone can fast weeks with no down side, I have seen the opposite. I'd start with days and take several week breaks and gradually work up to two weeks or so.
Fasting For Weight Loss.
