4. Heart Health
There are plenty of good things that fasting can do for your heart. All of the things you eat on a daily basis puts a lot of strain on your heart, especially if your diet is very high in fats and salts, and not so high in vegetables. Eventually, especially when combined with a stressful and fast-paced life and career, this will start taking a huge toll on the heart – and it’s exactly what puts most people at risk of having a heart attack.
Fasting forces your body to slow down, and gives your body a chance to get rid of all of the toxins it has accumulated. When you are able to reset your body by fasting, you basically give your body an entirely new start when you begin eating again – and this time, start by eating healthier, more natural foods.
If you find that you are experiencing chest palpitations or pain in your chest, make an appointment with a cardiologist for a heart scan.
