Advantages and disadvantages of fasting
Fasting is good for health;

1, adjust the weight:

An empty stomach can make fat people thin and thin people fat. After a week of fasting, fat people can lose about 3~7 kilograms by eliminating the burning of AMA, water and fat in their bodies. People whose weight has been lower than the standard value will have better gastrointestinal absorption function, improved metabolic problems and improved nutrient absorption efficiency after fasting, and their weight will gradually increase after eating again.

2, purification and detoxification phenomenon:

Fasting can expel AMA attached to all organs and tissues of the body. In the process of detoxification, there will be bad breath, bad breath, bitter taste, sticky saliva, tongue coating, body odor, turbid urine, large-scale discharge of AMA, and even some people's mouths will be broken. These are all normal phenomena of detoxification. If you are in poor health or have not experienced fasting, your mouth will stink.

3, improve physical fitness:

Any disease, including infectious diseases and chronic diseases, is caused by the acidity of body fluids. When the body fluid is weakly alkaline, the body is in a healthy state and all diseases are not born. Even if bacteria invade the body, they cannot reproduce and will not cause disease. When body fluids are acidic, they can infect diseases, from physical pain to chronic diseases.

Extended data:

In China's Huangdi Neijing, there are records of taboo therapy and starvation therapy. Fasting is one of the basic requirements of pre-Qin health care. However, fasting in the valley requires not eating, only drinking water, and qigong exercises such as persuasion on the basis of fasting. A Dream of Red Mansions also describes the treatment of fasting. For example, in chapter 53, it says, "No matter whether you go up or down, you just cough with slight cold, you are always hungry, and then you take medicine to recuperate."

Fasting is good for preventing diseases and prolonging life. An article published on the American MSN website once again brought light food into people's field of vision. As a new health concept, light fasting has swept the world in recent years, setting off an upsurge. Experts believe that skipping food scientifically is really good for health, but there is a lot of knowledge in it, so don't try it rashly. Fasting therapy in modern medicine was born in Europe in the18th century.

Fasting is not simply starvation, but an opportunity to change lifestyle and a way to communicate with the body. When fasting, you should not only create a healthy and peaceful living environment, stay away from unhealthy food, adjust your mood and sleep, but also adjust your interpersonal environment and give yourself more positive energy. Fasting is more suitable for people who have poor ability to control their food intake and have no time to adjust their diet because of busy work.
