Back in the old days when different religious beliefs made fasting compulsory, there were a lot less health complaints than there are now, we all ate less, it was a case of having to, and you had the bonus of the lean hungry look for real.
I suppose it stands to reason that giving the old bread basket a rest must be good for us all. Look at some wild animas, take the polar bear, he starves all winter and come the spring he's as fit as a fiddle when stalking his prey.

One thing is if you don't eat, your body slows down the metabolic rate & puts it in starvation mode. I know we're not talking about"weight loss" per se but its interesting to note. Your body will actually get fatter. A day or two is fine if you're healthy but not if you e got liver or kidney problems, diabetic, etc.Heck, even taking aspirin or ibuprofen which is a stomach irritant, you need food in your stomach plus if you're not hydrated its not good to take anti inflammatories, from my understanding.
Any initial weight loss is fluid, not fat.

I often fast for a day or two each month. I never thought about cell rejuvenation before. I just feel the need to give my liver and kidneys a break from time to time. Now I’m going to do some more reading on this and might even go for a more serious fast.Thanks for the link.
