The Effect of Fast

The effect of fast 

Here, in this blog, I introduce Korean foods(K-food), however,  we need to stop eating food sometimes, fasting. It helps our body recover its natural rhythm  and purify itself.  "Fast" means stoping eating. By stoping eating, the body utilizes the excessive nutrition and recovers the hunman natural potential. This potential means the self-healing and immunitive power to eliminate the health problems and diseases. In natural condition, when animals get sick or ill, they naturally stop eating and let their bodies recover its natural rhythm. When you are sick, you lose appitite. It is a nature's way of healing.

Fast is not eating intentionally, and it has been used in many cultures for religious and healthy reasons for thousands of years.  When we eat regularlly, the body expects the food will be supplied as usual, however, when you fast, it tries to absorb the nutrients  from the food stored within body. In this process, the body shows the amazing healing power by increasing the imminity. 

While fasting, we can feel being free from stresses. It was medically demonstrated that the pituitarygland, the control tower of the hormones in the body, releases hormones to  fight against stresses. Fasting also facilitates the excretion of the wastes including harmful chemicals in the body. 

One of the changes occuring in the body while fasting is self-melting. That is, the body makes efforts to find nutrients in the body when the nutritional supply is blocked. Thus, it energizes the nutrients it attracted from the other organs, except the organs which is essential for maintaining life. The body gets into a kind of positive shock while fasting as it is exhausted without nutrients. It does something to survive and recover. 

Fast causes the body to block the influx of poisonous elements and helps the toxins be excreted. It also lowers the fat level of the blood by not eating food. The blood with the low level of fat moves smoothly throughout the body supplying nutrients to the cells of the body.  While the digestion system is resting, the body utilizes all the nutrients to energize and it enhances the power of immunity.
