Fasting isn't optional or just for weight loss. Your body needs regular fasting to heal and restore itself, the same way it needs sleep. Without it, you're missing critical restorative processes for both body and brain.
I believe that fasting is for everyone. I really believe that the misconception is that fasting is this optional state that we maybe decide to try if we wanna lose weight or we want more energy, or maybe we heard about the brain power and that it's sort of like a diet. It's like, yeah, that sounded like a really cool thing I should do. I think of it like sleep. You cannot go your whole life without sleep. You need sleep for so many brain functions that will happen while you're sleeping. If you are not fasting, you are missing out on a massive healing experience for your body and your brain. It is not optional in my book.
