Fasting

body

We now eat round the clock – often we are eating all but 8 hrs a day. Why does that mean for our bodies – it means our digestion is always on, it means our body has less time to divert resources to job it has to do -like healing, clearing out, forming memories, fighting bugs etc.

The idea is that we have evolved as humans to survive periods of food excess as well as times where food is limited. Now, we live in an era of overabundance, which means we often have access to food 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

This change has been fast (get it?!) … so what should we do?
