January Health Habit

January 23rd, 2020 at 02:40 pm

My 2020 goal #2 is to adopt a permanent health-enhancing habit each month. I’ve decided that my new health habit for January will be to fast one day each month. This is an uncomfortable change for me but I’m convinced that it’ll be an improvement.
For January, I am going to have the 31st be the fast day. Then if I can make it 2 days, I’ll knock out February’s day too. I’ve read that 3 days is optimal, but I just don’t know that I can do it.

NEW HEALTH HABIT #1:
Fast 1 day per month

BENEFIT:
Improves cardiovascular health, improves insulin sensitivity, promotes longevity, decreases inflammation, improves cell recycling, protects brain

COST:
Upfront – zero
Ongoing – zero

It could be that there is a cost-savings, but I’m not counting on it. I’ll probably drink herbal teas during the day so that may cost about the same as food. (Coffee is allowed but I don’t like mine black.)

    I've done fasting! I've made it about 44 hours before. I think tomorrow I'm going to do about 24, it's been about two months since I did my last one. It definitely has health benefits. Drink plenty of water, too. Have you followed Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, or Dr. Mindy Pelz on YouTube? Lots of information available. Good luck!!

    Thanks for the references, CCF! I will look them up. I think I've seen Dr. Berg - it's an article by Dr. Mercola that I read most recently about fasting. (and about how typical Americans eat so frequently that it prevents cell recycling)
