I am thinking of taking up fasting because I enjoy a challenge and am too fat. However I have heard that it lowers your immunity to infection. Has this been the case for anyone here? And what could I do to minimise the risk?
> fasting lowers immunity
Uh No.
How long we talking here ?
72 hour fasts reset the immune system (a good thing).
If humans weren’t able to use their own body fat to bridge the time between meals we wouldn’t exist.
Always break a fast if you don’t feel well.
