Ep-42-3-day (72 hours) water fast.
A three-day water fast, can have several benefits, including:
- Weight loss
Fasting creates a calorie deficit and shifts the body's metabolism to burn fat for energy. - Improved insulin and leptin sensitivity
Fasting can make the body more sensitive to these hormones, which can help reduce blood sugar levels and the risk of obesity. - Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
- Increased human growth hormone (HGH) production
HGH stimulates cell growth and regeneration, preserves muscle mass, and burns fat for energy. - Improved heart health
Fasting can reduce blood pressure levels and improve cholesterol. - Cell regeneration
Fasting stimulates autophagy, a process that breaks down and recycles old or damaged parts of cells. - Mental clarity
Fasting can help build mental resilience.
I just finished my yearly 3 day water fast and it turned out great!
I ate my last meal on Monday evening around 7p and started my three day water fast.
Fortunately, I work from home now so for all three days I was able to relax, meditate on my fasting prayers, drink 3/4 3/4 of a gallon of distilled water, take detox baths, recorded episodes on my podcast and l watched fasting videos. I did not exercise or do anything strenuous. I checked my blood glucose each day & it was down in the mornings and then it was up in the evenings.
My glucose Readings: 63 mg/dL in the mornings and 73 mg/dL in the evenings.
