Fasten

Fasting days for a new attitude to life For thousands of years, people have used the purifying and revitalising power of temporarily abstaining from food. Some do it for health reasons, others for their figure, many use fasting for spiritual renewal and as a source of mental strength. Fasting brings about a gentle cleansing of body, mind and soul - a time of peace and deceleration. Fasting does not mean starvation. It is a short period of voluntary reduction. Many people experience a feeling of liberation and happiness. The orthopaedic specialist Dr. Martin Pinsger, together with the medical journalist Thomas Hartl, shows how numerous the benefits are that come with long-established fasting. They incorporate new scientific findings and offer with their guidebook a valuable guide to bring body and mind back into balance with simple fasting days.
