Embracing a Journey of Healing & Renewal with Intermittent Fasting
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, we often overlook the profound wisdom embedded in the simplicity of our bodies' natural processes. One such process, championed by Dr. Jason Fung, is intermittent fasting - a practice not just for weight management, but a gateway to a deeper healing journey.
Intermittent fasting goes beyond the conventional advice on eating. It's a deliberate pattern of eating that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. This isn't about deprivation, but about giving our bodies the time they need to engage in autophagy - a fascinating process where cells clean out any unnecessary or dysfunctional components. It's our body's way of detoxifying and repairing itself, akin to hitting a reset button on our cellular health.
Dr. Fung's insights shed light on how intermittent fasting can lead to improved metabolic health, increased energy levels, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases. But perhaps its most profound benefit is the stimulation of autophagy, a crucial mechanism for cellular rejuvenation and longevity.
Why does this matter? In a world filled with quick fixes and instant gratification, the idea of healing from within through something as accessible as altering our eating patterns offers a beacon of hope. It suggests that the power to transform our health lies not in the latest diet or supplement, but in harnessing the inherent wisdom of our own bodies.
So, how can we start? Begin with something manageable: an 8-hour eating window followed by 16 hours of fasting. This can be as simple as skipping breakfast or dining earlier. Listen to your body, adjust as necessary, and remember, it's not just about losing weight. It's about embarking on a journey of healing, resilience, and vitality.
Let's embrace this path not just as a dietary choice, but as a profound step towards self-care and longevity. By following in the footsteps of guidance from experts like Dr. Jason Fung, we unlock the door to a healthier, more vibrant life. Here's to healing, renewal, and the infinite potential within us all!

Try fasting in Ramadhan for a whole month. It’s actually quite easy. The first few are tough then it gets really easy.
Followed by Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays as was the habit of the Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him)

Hardly fasting, you're only skipping lunch.

[@jiqbal1uk]

@@Carefreeblues you obviously don’t know anything about fasting in Ramadhan

[@Carefreeblues]

@jiqbal1uk Hardly, I'm an avid faster, having done dry fasts and water fasts for extended periods of time. Ramadan fasting is literally nothing. You stuff yourself in the morning at sahur, wait 12 hours, and have dinner. There is nothing challenging about that.

[@jiqbal1uk]

@@Carefreeblues you try getting up and stuffing yourself at 4am. A lot of people don’t actually get up.
Those who do get up hardly eat anything because they’re too tired.
I just have 1 banana and a glass of water
Also the fast is actually about 14/19 hours depending upon where you live.

@@Carefreeblues some people fast from 6pm until 12pm (18 hours) which isn’t that difficult as you’re just missing breakfast.
Ramdhan fasting is missing food all day, breakfast, lunch, tea until about 7pm in the uk is pretty tough. In the summer it goes upto 9.30pm
