CHECK THIS OUT!i was reading through the whole list of questions on the MUIS-iASK page when i found this...
Q70. In scientific explanation, why do we have to fast? A From your question, I can understand that you need to know what the benefits are that we can gain from fasting, especially health-related ones. I will briefly explain the physiological and psychological effects of fasting. Physiological effects: - Fasting achieves a physiological rest to the digestive, assimilative, and protective organs. - The bodily energy normally used to digest and assimilate food is now used to purify our body by decomposing and burning unused substances and metabolic wastes with the help of bacteria and enzymes. - This process of decomposing and eliminating waste toxic materials can improve or even cure various diseases: cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, diseases of digestive system, diseases of the locomotor system including rheumatism, respiratory system diseases including asthma, and the early stage of malignant diseases like cancer. Psychological effects: - Fasting purifies cells all over the body, including those in the brain. - The cleansing process of fasting actually gets rid of cementing and intrusive particles of the nerve tissues. - As a result, a greater number of our brain cells come into contact with purified blood and the improved flow of blood to the brain helps to clarify our mind. HOW COOL EH?(: |
