    YES!! This is exactly what I do!! I usually reject what the bigger group is doing. It is important that you find what works and it may actually be a practice. 😊

    Very interesting. Two awsome men discuss about spirituality. Very refreshing. Wish more men and people in general would discuss about that. Thank you ❤

    The best thing you can do for your longevity is fasting, which could be called 'doing less'! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
    Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
    Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
    Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
    Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
    Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
    Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
    Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
    Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
    After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
    Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
    Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
    Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
    Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
    The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
    The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
    When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
    What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
    Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
    Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
    Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
    Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
    Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
    Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
    Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
    Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
    It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
    Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth.
    When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
    Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
    When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
    A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
    Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
    Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

    The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point. I came across an article highlighting individuals who achieved profits of up to $150,000 during challenging market periods. Considering this, I am curious about the best stocks to purchase now or add to a watchlist.

      Within various industries, there exist numerous intriguing stocks that you may choose to track. It is important to note that you do not need to act upon every forecast. Therefore, I would recommend working alongside a financial advisor who can assist you in determining the optimal moments to buy and sell the shares or ETFs you are interested in acquiring.

    For monks, scrubbing floors is a form of meditation. They become so quiet minded that they surrender to their no space, no time where nothing exists but the task at hand, and they find inner peace and so much joy ,they want more floors to clean.

      I feel incredibly fortunate for having made wise financial choices that have had a life-altering impact. As a single mother residing in Toronto, Canada, I successfully purchased my second home in September. If everything continues to progress positively, my aspiration is to retire next year at the age of 50

    Regarding meditation, anyone could meditate in sitting position like Buddha or Yogi's.. it's every individual persons opinion...some monks use to sit & meditate, some are meditate by walking...only thing if you can focus your mind in to one thought It doesn't matter how you meditate....as long as you are comfortable with your sitting position like Buddha or Yogi's , I think you'll feel much lighter & well focus on meditation...
