Fasting can heal the human organism of disease and reverse the ageing process.

Michele d Moore

There are many types of food fasts but an absolute food fast involves the complete abstinence from the consumption of all foods and drinks, throughout the defined period, whether days or weeks. During this process, the human body, especially the digestive system receives much needed physiological rest. This allows healing and repairing processes to take place as well as a host of other health benefits.
