What is Fasting?

Simply put, it means you stop eating completely, or almost completely, for a certain stretch of time. A fast usually lasts from 12 to 24 hours, but some types continue for days at a time. In some cases, you may be allowed water, tea, and coffee or even a small amount of food during the “fasting period.”
Besides religious practice, there are a number of health reasons. First, as you might guess, is weight loss. There's also research showing that certain types of fasting may help improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, and other health issues.

Fasting Eliminates Cancer

Stop Feeding Your Cancer: “Tumors are very hungry,” says immunologist Joseph Sun, PhD, the study’s senior author. “They take up essential nutrients, creating a hostile environment often rich in lipids that are detrimental to most immune cells. What we show here is that fasting reprograms these natural killer cells to better survive in this suppressive environment.”
Fasting and calorie restriction (CR) can slow and even stop the progression of cancer, kill cancer cells, and boost the immune system.
