I fast from time to time, my personal belief is it's like doing a restart similar to a computer, it give the body time to rid itself of what it does not need.

@buenavida true, there are fasts that does not have to be complete abstinence, oh yes water should always be incorporated to neutralize toxins that would be discharged faster during fast.

That is amazing. I am not a doctor, and I don't know whether the fasting will be so beneficial for the diabetics. I just know that the diabetics can't being starved as it can lead to pass out.

I have fasted many times in the past, but now I only eat during an 8 hours period a day, so I don't starve at all..

if you're diabetic and fasting, how do you avoid increase and decrease in blood sugar?

I am not fasting all the time, just fast in the morning and eat during eight hours - not hard at all - this nurse can test the long time sugar level with a machine and it shows a lot of data so she knows if I need insulin or not

@buenavida That is an interesting title. I have never heard of fasting put that way. I guess because in Judaism we have certain times that we fast and I do not feel younger, but, feel healthier I guess.
