is fasting beneficial ?

[drake25]

talking to this guy in the gym the other day and he said that fasting all day every sunday and waiting to eat until the sun goes down is good for you because it gives your digestive system a break. especially for guys who are bulking and constantly eating


does this have any validity to it?

i mean on face value it makes sense from a health prospective.. but maybe im wrong

thoughts?

This may shed some light on the idea....

That's not why I fast when I do, but I don't see it being a bad thing.

fasting may be beneficial for other reasons... but specifically to give the digestive system a break?...this sounds like a weak reason, the human body evolved to need food on a regular basis and thus the digestive system evolved to digest on a regular basis. I can see no biological reason why this would be at all beneficial.

I would not suggest taking large amount of heroin once in a while to give your heart and lungs a break, lol.
