Description
The Science and Fine Art of Fasting by Herbert M. Shelton Fasting has long been a natural part of life, observed in animals and understood by those who have lived off the land. This book explores the history and practice of fasting, and how it can be used to promote health and well-being. Shelton argues that fasting is not a luxury, but a necessity for the body to function at its best. Shelton's approach to fasting is based on his observation of animals and his own experiences growing up on a farm. He explains how the energy typically spent on eating and digestion is redirected during fasting, and how this can have a profound impact on overall health. The book also delves into the science behind fasting, including the benefits of caloric restriction and the cellular mechanisms that respond to such techniques. By understanding the principles of fasting, readers can learn how to incorporate this practice into their own lives, and experience the benefits of improved health and well-being.
