Brain fasting.

Intermittent fasting is designed to give your digestive system a rest.

When you do a 16-hour, 20-hour or even a 36-hour fast, the system reaches its baseline and stays there. Without it, the system is always reacting, never really finding and staying in the base.

We live in an over-stimulated world, and the digestive system is just one part of it. Another one that gets little chance to experience baseline is the nervous system.

What if you tried intermittent fasting for the brain?

Start with a 16-hour fast and then move up to a 20-hour and even a 36-hour one. No stimuli for the nervous system, especially digital.

The body works like a thermostat. It keeps trying to bring the system to the normal range. For it to work well, it needs to access the baseline.
