What’s the deal with fasting?

Fasting is ancient healing technology, Brother. When you stop eating, your body can focus energy on repair instead of digestion. Intermittent fasting (16 hours without food) daily is powerful. Extended fasts (3+ days) trigger autophagy - your cells eat damaged parts and regenerate. Your ancestors fasted regularly. Modern eating patterns - three meals plus snacks - never let your body rest. Give your temple time to heal itself.
