https://facebook/photo.php?v=10152118629801104&fref=nf This video is doing the rounds. I fully agree that fasting can do wonders for the mind, soul and spirit, however, this video doesnt actually get much right at all. To illustrate fasting, as a generalisation, doesnt boost the clearance of waste from our system nor does it aid the detoxification process. In fact, by not eating we remove the phytochemical source which may actually hinder our natural detoxification process. Kidneys dont increase salt excretion during a fast - if anything the opposite is true as water is conserved. Fasting does not remove cholesterol. HDLs do that. (High density lipoproteins, commonly and incorrectly termed good cholesterol) The digestive tract clean themselves quite nicely during just a few hours of fasting, such as overnight. Next Ramadan Im thinking of putting a video or blog out explaining exactly what does happen to the body during fasting, as well as the ways that athletes can adjust their diets to ensure they lose as little performance as possible.
