Fast Your Way to Health by Lee Bueno
Book 14 of 2017 completed!
Disclaimer: This book is not for everyone. If you are not interested in orthopathy (natural hygiene), developing spiritual discipline and hard work this book is not for you.
To expound, orthopathy is the practice of alternative medicine through eating a (whole) plant based diet, fasting, adequate rest and exercise to prevent or treat disease.
While reading this book, I undertook a 7 day absolute (no food, water only) fast from 6am to 6pm. To break the fast each evening, I ate a mostly plant based diet low in salt, sugar and dairy.
My takeaways:
1. Fasting is a spiritual discipline. Bible reading, prayer and fasting are all spiritual disciplines. As Christians, this isn't discussed in the church as much as it should be. Although fasting has its health benefits, it also draws us nearer to God.
2. Fasting allows us to feed our spirit instead of our flesh (our body). There are many instances in the Bible where people fasted (Esther, David, Saul, Jesus amongst others). Jesus fasted for 40 days before starting ministry.
3. Fasting and starvation are not the same thing.
