But, the healing magic of fasting occurs when you keep it up for several days. That’s when the powers like autophagy are unleashed. Autophagy is Greek for “self eating”. This is the process of cleaning out damaged proteins and damaged cell parts that gum up the machinery of our bodies. Fasting for several days also stimulate stem cells and unlocks other healing programs in the body.
Fasting by yourself is no fun. Colorado Center for Functional Medicine will host our monthly Community Fast. We will prepare together with a webinar, and registrants can download the CCFM Guide to Fasting eBook. We will offer a daily call in, every morning during the fasting week for support, and to share tips and techniques. Be on the lookout for emails with further details!
Together we can have a fasting experience, that if not fun, is least interesting. Register now and invite your friends.
