Intermittent Fasting
Lire ce billet en français →The food industry profits when you eat. Often. This industry is owned by the only two companies that really exist today, who control everything with their products and marketing. They decide what you eat and when you’re going to eat it. Not what’s best for you, but rather what’s best for their wallet.
When I realized this, I did some research, then discovered something extraordinary. Until very recently, our ancestors obviously didn’t have three meals a day, simply because they didn’t have access to that much food. So, natural selection meant that those who couldn’t survive without eating frequently died. Gone. So logically, we’re made to not eat regularly. Indeed, it has been proven that consciously fasting frequently helps our metabolism, more than stuffing ourselves several times a day. Counter-intuitively, fasting for one meal, every two days, can have a beneficial effect on the human body. Several people already do this without realizing it, for example when they have brunch on weekends.
Obviously, you shouldn’t become anorexic either. You need to eat more than usual at the meal following the fast and not exceed this magic number of one meal every two days. Exercising every day should also be included with this practice.
