A thread on why fasting is essential to keep a healthy metabolism.
Most people overestimate their metabolism. They believe that eating 3 times every day will give their stomach enough time to digest this food.
But what ends up happening over time is your stomach is constantly digesting. Nonstop.
Your stomach can not handle constantly digesting food as this because a heavy burden on your system. Imagine in your work environment, you never finish your days’ work tasks but keep getting new work everyday. Nothing ever gets finished and instead it starts piling up.
NOW imagine this stomach, constantly working and trying to keep up, becomes exposed to a virus (like covid - or ANY new threat). A whole NEW challenge to try to combat while already working overtime?
It won’t be able to. You’re body will be doomed. Like stepping into a sword fight where the other guy has steel and you have a stick.
By FASTING, you let your stomach (gut) rest. You allow it to recover. You give your body time to breathe and take a day off of work once in awhile.
