Fasting

Summary 

 

 24 hour fast will reduce blood sugar, start to go into ketosis, cravings go down, energy goes up, better mental focus 

 2 day fast leats to more autopagy, cleaning up of old and damaged cells 

 3 day fast leads to a near full regeneration of the immune system 

 Stick to water, salt water and electolytes
