First things first, why would you want to get your body to eat itself? (It sounds gross, right?) Well, you’d be surprised with how beneficial this can be for your health.
Drinking plenty of water supports the healthy functioning of your body all year round. High temperatures and sun exposure can cause dehydration. This can then severely affect your skin, given that skin is the largest organ in the body. When you fail to drink enough water, your skin can become dry, puffy and unable to flush out toxins.
Recent studies have found that fasting can significantly slow down the ageing process.
How you ask? Well, the short answer is that it supercharges your metabolism. This allows your body to break down nutrients and burn calories more effectively.
Fasting can also reduce the degradation of DNA that happens in your cells as you get older, alongside accelerating DNA repair.
This could then help you live a longer and healthier life.
