Hourly Fasting Benefits: A Spiritual and Physical Reset
Fasting offers incredible hourly benefits that align the body, mind, and spirit. Within 4 to 8 hours blood sugar drops, setting the stage for healing. By 12 hours all food is fully digested and the digestive system rests as insulin levels stabilize. At 14 hours Human Growth Hormone (HGH) begins to rise promoting healing and fat burning. By 16 hours HGH surges, converting stored fat into energy and dramatically boosting mental clarity. At 18 hours the body ramps up fat burning even more and by 24 hours, autophagy kicks in which is where the magic happens by clearing out damaged cells making room for newly created healthy cells to take over. Ketones are released into the bloodstream at 36 hours, enhancing energy and focus. Autophagy peaks 300% at 48 hours as the immune system resets. By 72 hours, autophagy maximizes, and inflammation is significantly reduced, leaving you rejuvenated on every level.
The sacred practice of fasting and prayer is often spoken of in the bible as well. Modern interpretations often distort this, promoting fasting as a mere diet trend diluting its divine purpose. The devil, alongside Big Pharma, recognizes the transformative power of fasting and prayer to heal and liberate so they distract us with quick-fix pills and fads, steering us away from this God given reset for body, mind, and spirit.
Mark 9:29: "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
Happy Friday and Much Love,
