What if you could get the benefits of fasting without actually fasting? It sounds impossible, and yet, I’m here to tell you it isn’t.Fasting has amazing effects on the human body—research shows that fasting for at least 36 hours triggers powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular benefits. But what if you didn’t have the stamina to fast for a full day and a half? Should you simply give up on these benefits?The answer to this question is no!
