now the one thing that we all know is a

hundred percent true is that drinking a

lot of water is very good for our bodies

and dehydration is very bad for our

bodies we know that we’ve been told that

by everyone but why is it that when you

over water a plant uh it dies in fact

the number one cause of plant death

plants in your house is over watering

them we also know that to make a really

good wine you have to not put too much

water in fact certain really good wine

makers found that if you don’t over

water if the plant or the Grapevine goes

through a short period of no water The

Roots will go deeper and the flavor of

the wine is greater you have a lot more

phytochemicals because that plant adapts

and we also know that nutrition is good

for our bodies right vitamins and

minerals that act as cofactors to help

all the biochemistry the biochemical

reactions in our body to make us healthy

but the time restrictive eating the

fasting also at the same time greatly

benefits the biochemistry of your body

and the two main types of fasting is

water fasting okay and dry fasting when

you do water fasting you’re basically

not eating but you’re drinking liquids

when you do dry fasting not only are you

not eating food but you’re not drinking

water so that is a topic I want to touch

on and just explain something that’s

actually quite fascinating and you may

want to consider doing a short dry fast

one of the biggest benefits of fasting

is something called autophagy autophagy

is a condition where your body is

recycling

damaged proteins okay and it’s turning

those into new biochemical

enzymes and structural proteins things

like that like your hair now skin bones

muscle

Etc and fasting is a potent stimulus of

this autophagy autophagy also helps you

clear out intracellular pathogens

microbes

viruses very interesting now if we take

a look at the importance of getting

nutrients versus the importance of

detoxification they’re pretty close as

far as benefit to your overall health

and in some cases detoxification might

even be a little bit more important

one of the big purposes of sleep is to

detoxify your cells and this is why when

you don’t sleep you might feel kind of

very toxic and sluggish especially in

your head well when you do fasting

especially dry fasting you mimic a lot

of the benefits to sleep you’re getting

rid of toxicity inside yourself now to

explain this I need to explain another

thing

about eight to ten percent of the water

that you get is produced by your own

selves in the mitochondria as the last

step of the mitochondria if you’re

burning fat you’re changing that fat

into water and oxygen roughly about

eight to ten percent of the water in

your body is produced within your body

it’s called endogenous Water Production

or metabolic water I mean even in nature

animals especially those that live in

the desert have a higher function of

this they can make water from within and

one of the big benefits of your body

making this water is you get this

internal water flushing from the inside

out so you enhance the detoxification

process but if you’re drinking all this

water the body never gets a chance to

produce this metabolic water this is why

when you do a water fast okay you don’t

get the benefits from a dry fast because

you’re actually drinking water water and

that water inhibits the production of

your own body’s water so a dry fast

really is enhanced autophagy it’s just a

better way of your cells taking out the

trash and getting rid of all the extra

metabolic waste and the benefits are

very similar to sleeping as far as the

detoxification of your cells and I think

a lot of people

um don’t realize how much extra waste

that we generate in our cells through

the day especially if we’re not eating

well so anything you can do to remove

extra waste is a very good thing

especially for a longevity so let me

just kind of summarize the benefits in a

little bit more detail for you number

one dry fasting can help remove

intracellular toxicity more than water

fasting number two dry fasting actually

strengthens the biochemical enzyme

Pathways the whole biochemistry the

machine that runs your body number three

and this is very very important MO most

diseases are related to the mitochondria

mitochondrial dysfunction and doing dry

fasting can help improve mitochondrial

function because when you go through

autophagy you also clean up damaged

mitochondria and that’s called mitophagy

which is the recycling of mitochondria

as well as improving damaged

mitochondria themselves because I would

even venture to say that probably 80

percent of all disease including cancer

is related to a problem with the

mitochondria if you add exercise with

dry fasting during that period of time

which I’ll explain the details in a

minute you can really take your

mitochondria to the next level because

exercise as a stimulus by itself can

increase the number of mitochondria and

the health of the mitochondria as well

as the capacity for the mitochondria to

handle more stress and also produce more

energy all right number four

you know we have different epigenetic

factors okay epigenetics are above your

genes the genes really do not control

anything okay it’s the epigenetic

lifestyle actions like eating and even

not eating short-term starvation or

fasting is a very potent stimulus

for survival and so is cold therapy

because our bodies have evolved not in

very comfortable environments but

environments that were very very cold

and environments that we didn’t always

have a lot of water and so if we inhibit

the production of water at certain parts

of the day it just may be very

therapeutic to the cells just because

we’re going back to how our bodies were

originally adapted they did not involve

with constant food Constant Comfort a

lot of water all day long number five

dry fasting can mimic some of the

benefits of a deep rejuvenating sleep I

mean sometimes I’m wondering if

someone’s really tired because they’re

tired or they tired because the

accumulation of metabolic waste that has

accumulated through the day or from some

of the things that they ate I personally

know when I fast

I don’t get tired as much as when I’m

eating and I feel better and I don’t

need as much sleep and even the real

deeper purpose of sleep is

detoxification of metabolic waste and

the last point I want to bring up is is

just there’s not a lot of people who do

any type of dry fast and it’s one thing

that we’re told you must always drink so

much water to be hydrated

but dehydration as an epigenetic

stimulus is something that I think you

should just test out for yourself yes

there are people that do three day dry

fast or even longer I’m not suggesting

you dive into that what I am suggesting

you test the waters on no pun intended

is let’s say for example you’re fasting

for 16 hours okay or 18 hours just try

not to drink any water in that period of

time then when you eat okay your eating

window that’s when you start getting

your liquids and I do suggest you drink

a lot of water right like maybe two and

a half liters to get all your fluids

within your eating window okay now I’m

not saying to force yourself to drink

but the point is that for example if you

have a weakness with kidney stones or

you’re gonna have to get more fluid in

your body but you should just see how

you feel if you can go 16 or 18 hours or

even 20 hours without drinking any water

while you’re fasting what about the

coffee in the morning

well you could actually take a green

coffee extract okay it has caffeine in

it so you get the benefits of the

caffeine like so you don’t have

withdrawals from your coffee

yet you’re not drinking the fluid of

that coffee so you get the feeling of

coffee but without the fluid it’s just

an extra thing to look at if you want to

enhance the epigenetic factors you may

want to consider or look into doing a

dry fast a shorter one to start out and

then experiment a little bit longer now

if you’re new to fasting by itself and

you need to know how to do that you

should probably start out with this
