Recently I followed " Ideal City ". I have to admire Sun Li's figure and temperament are really good. She is already the mother of two children. She plays a 20-year-old girl with no sense of incongruity.
Sun Li posted her secret to maintaining a good figure on the Internet, that is, she will perform 168 light fasting every week, that is, she will not eat for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours.
In fact, fasting is not popular among modern talents. Humans in ancient times have been fasting most of the time. Many religions and cultures also have the custom of fasting. Judaism fasting 7 days a year, Christian fasting 40 days is approaching the gods, and Buddhism also has the precept of not eating after noon.
What is the scientific principle of fasting? I recently read a professional book about fasting: "Healing Diet and Fasting".
The author Yang Dingyi is a Chinese American, a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Cornell School of Medicine, Rockefeller University, New York. He has authored many books such as " Mahara Medical ", "Good Sleeping", "Abundant", "Sitting Science, Medicine and the Journey to the Spirit".
"Healing Diet and Fasting" talks about a variety of fasting methods, as well as the scientific principles and methods of fasting.
Next, let’s learn the key points of the book together.
01
Understand several fasting methods
Meat-free daily fasting: This fasting method is relatively simple, that is, do not eat meat, do not eat animal protein , as long as it is not a meal with others, it is easy to do it.
Fatting restricts eating time:
The 168 fasting method mentioned above belongs to this, which means eating within a fixed time, fasting within a fixed time, and quitting the habit of eating snacks.
combined with ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting: ketogenic diet minimizes the fluctuations of insulin and blood sugar, allowing the body to enter the keto state.
5:2 Fasting method: Choose two consecutive days of fasting for one week. It is not that you cannot eat on the day of fasting, but that you can intake 500 calories.
Fasting on the other day: Fasting every other day. If you are proficient, you can extend the fasting time to 36 hours or even 48 hours. The longer the fasting period, the deeper the autophagy and the body's detoxification will be.
Fattack in a full-day clean water: Fattack time can be 1 day or 2 days, and some people may even have 7 days. During the fasting period, they only drink water and do not intake any sugar, oil or salt.
02
Fasting is a normal physiological state
As the saying goes, people are iron rice and they are hungry without eating for a meal. But from the perspective of organisms, it is not in line with the physiological design that can obtain food at any time and keep the body in a state of not hungry.
Yang Dingyi mentioned in "Healing Diet and Fasting" that excessive and imbalanced diet has already burdened us, and moderate hunger is beneficial to our health.
In addition to ordinary people, fasting is appropriately carried out to allow the body to recuperate and activate the autophagy effect, which is beneficial to the body.
03
How should ordinary people turn on fasting
We have been told to eat three meals a day since we were born. This seems to be natural. Sometimes, I feel that I owe myself a lot and I have to find a chance to make it up.
If you used to be like this, and now you want to try fasting, there is actually no need to feel very psychological pressure. Just use the simplest way, follow the rhythm of your body, eat when you are hungry, and don’t eat when you are not hungry.
Such natural fasting method is very suitable for novices and to perform other types of fasting after they have experience.
written at the end
Modern people live fast pace and have a lot of pressure. Eating well has become a way for us to reward ourselves. However, incorrect diet can cause burden on the body and even accelerate the aging of the body.
Learn about diet and fasting, understand your body, find a way to adjust it that suits you, and ultimately you can get a healthier body and the best mental state.
