Recently I have been thinking regarding fasting to allow my body to reach a balance and then continue to function.

More and more people are trying different intermittent fasting methods

168 fasting, 52 fasting… With the popularity of healthy diet and weight loss diet, everyone has begun to try the fasting method. However, no matter which fasting method it is, the focus is on “insulin” and “glucagon”. How to mix these two things.

When people don’t eat, blood sugar will drop, but the human body must maintain a certain level of blood sugar. At this time, the glycogen stored in the liver will begin to decompose to maintain the required blood sugar level. This way The time will last regarding 12 to 16 hours.

However, ketones are also produced when fat is burned. Many people with diabetes will suffer from “ketoacidosis” if they are not well controlled. Because these patients cannot secrete insulin, their energy source cannot come from glucose, and they can only break down fat. Once it is too much, more ketoacid will be produced, which will cause so-called ketoacidosis.

In yoga practice, we emphasize the cleanliness of the body and smoother circulation of Qi and blood, so we often use “fasting”, allowing the body to save energy on digesting food, and then make every effort to replace old cells with new ones and repair damaged organs.

Because it burns fat, it can achieve weight loss effectsthe problem of three highs can also be improved indirectly.When the body is extremely hungry, it will also execute “Autophagy”Will produce free radicals, alsoForces the body to scavenge free radicals

These are all key to renewal and regeneration of the body, but they are not suitable for everyone.

The suggestion is to start indirectly. Don’t fast completely at the beginning. Then you need to evaluate whether your physical condition is suitable. This is the most important point. The key is to go step by step.

Today is my first day, come on.
