5 Truths About Fasting

5 Truths About Fasting

Sinikka Waugh and Joe Halbach discuss 5 Truths About Fasting.   I’m 38 years old with my Bachelor’s degree in biology. My focus at the time was on ecology, evolution, and animal behavior but I was and am still interested in human health and nutrition. A lot of my recent interest has focused on exploring and learning about health and wellness, specifically in regards to: A number of nutritional falsehoods in “common knowledge” and long-perceived good health practices. The effect of sugar/carbohydrates on the body and the effects of breaking the body’s glucose addiction. Fasting (both intermittent and more long-term) Different diets (in the context of long-term patterns, not temporary “lose a few pounds and go back to normal” diets) such as The Standard American Diet, Veganism, Vegetarianism, Carnivorism, Ketogenic, and compare them to how people have eaten historically throughout the millennia.
