Fasting offers incredible hourly benefits that align the body, mind, and spirit. Within 4 to 8 hours blood sugar drops, setting the stage for healing. By 12 hours all food is fully digested and the digestive system rests as insulin levels stabilize. At 14 hours Human Growth Hormone (HGH) begins to rise promoting healing and fat burning. By 16 hours HGH surges, converting stored fat into energy and dramatically boosting mental clarity. At 18 hours the body ramps up fat burning even more and by 24 hours, autophagy kicks in which is where the magic happens by clearing out damaged cells making room for newly created healthy cells to take over. Ketones are released into the bloodstream at 36 hours, enhancing energy and focus. Autophagy peaks 300% at 48 hours as the immune system resets. By 72 hours, autophagy maximizes, and inflammation is significantly reduced, leaving you rejuvenated on every level.
The sacred practice of fasting and prayer is often spoken of in the bible as well. Modern interpretations often distort this, promoting fasting as a mere diet trend diluting its divine purpose. The devil, alongside Big Pharma, recognizes the transformative power of fasting and prayer to heal and liberate so they distract us with quick-fix pills and fads, steering us away from this God given reset for body, mind, and spirit.
Mark 9:29: "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
Happy Friday and Much Love,

I've read that one day of fasting is a year back onto your life. As someone who has had experience with fasting, it is one of the most challenging thing you will ever do, especially if you are dry fasting (no water as well as no food). After a 72 hour dry fast for the first time, my hair was softer, my skin was smoother. It is very tempting to eat and drink but that's the challenge. I also read about an old man once who was balding and after about 30 days of fasting, he woke up one morning with black hair covering his head. Moses also dry fasted for two 40 day fasts and when he died, he still had his youth. Elijah and Yehushua also fasted for 40 days. Pythagoras was required to fast 40 days to receive sacred geometry from the Egyptian schools. It has a profound effect on the body, mind and spirit.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. I have fasted several times, and honestly I think after about 24 hours it gets much easier. I also eat a keto diet, so I think it is much easier to go into a fast when you body isn't full of sugar and carbs. I'm already in a ketone state.
