The History and Benefits of Fasting
We're supposed to eat three meals a day. Did you know that?
Well, here's what I found in real human history.
People ate when food was available, not because the
clock said it was time. Some days they feasted,
other days, nothing. It wasn't until the late
1800s that breakfast, lunch, and dinner became
a rule, pushed by industrial work schedules
and food
companies that made billions keeping you eating all.
Day cereal companies told you breakfast is the most
important meal of the day. Snack companies taught
you to graze from morning to night.
That became the norm. But constant eating keeps your
body in storage mode, locking away fat and
never switching on repair systems like autophagy, your
body's natural way of clearing out damaged cells.
Fasting, whether you're skipping breakfast
or going twenty-four
hours, gives your body a break from
digesting, so it can repair, reset, and
burn stored energy.
Our ancestors didn't need gyms or weight loss programs.
They had fasting built into their lifestyle.
We traded that for a system that gives you food you don't need
at times you're not even hungry. Why are you eating?
Let me answer that. Because you've been
programmed that it's time to eat. And not to
mention, constant eating slowly breaks you down
or kills you.
Fasting isn't a trend. Eating nonstop is.
Your body was designed for feast and repair, not breakfast,
lunch, and disease.
