So, when you fast your body gets rid of Cancer cells and other things it doesn't need instead of digesting food. Because your body is very efficient this way.
Imagine you are a cave man or cave woman. You don't have food every single day because you either don't hunt every day or you are traveling instead of hunting looking for a better place to find food. While you are not eating your body also is cleansing itself of unwanted things. People didn't always have food. When they had food they ate so when they didn't have food they didn't have anything to eat. There was no refrigeration so if you didn't eat whatever you had right then something else would eat it. if it was meat predators might compete with you for the meat. If it was grains or fruit or nuts, other things like smaller predators or bugs or mice or rats would compete with you for those things too. So, instead of having to guard all your food all the time 24 hours a day it was easier just to eat it while you had it and then sleep for awhile digesting all that food. Then later you might not eat for several days to a week and have to live off whatever food you ate before.
So, this was normal for people until farming was invented and people grew food and stayed in one place more of the time about 15,000 to 25,000 years ago. But, before that people ate when they could and moved on.
Understanding this, you begin to understand how fasting worked too. When you didn't have food you didn't eat and your body cleaned itself from cancer cells and other unwanted toxins and things.
We just live more in a world of plenty now with refrigeration so we have forgotten how to let our bodies cleanse themselves and doing this we help prevent cancer or other ilnesses in our lives.
If you study about Jesus and Buddha they both fasted at least 40 days straight on just water and nothing else except maybe a grain of rice. So, the spiritual and physical benefits of fasting where known also to the truly great spiritual teachers of all time too.
In my own life the longest fast I ever did was 7 days on water with lemon juice and a tablespoon of maple syrup. This cuts the toxins being released that tend to get you a headache otherwise.
The most spiritual fasts I have done are Organic Apple Juice Fasts of about 4 or 5 days and Organic Watermelon Fasts of 4 or 5 days.
The Organic watermelon fasts will prevent heart bypass operations if you do them regularly enough if your diet is good enough.
I was raised a Lacto Ovo vegetarian in the 1950s mostly in San Diego and Los Angeles County, California. So, when I needed an angiogram in 1998 at STanford Medical near Stanford University, I was told they had never seen such clean arteries and veins ever during the angiogram in someone 50 years old. I had been a lacto OVO vegetarian since birth until age 32 by the way. So, not eating meat really really really makes a difference in how clogged your arteries and veins get by the way.
However, if you have blood sugar issues you have to be very very careful in regards to fasting and watch your experiences and maybe even consult a doctor before you fast.
I have one friend who has done likely 1 40 day fast on water and or juices a year since 1972 by the way and he is 76 years old and still climbing trees with a knee replacement at this point and going strong living in the Mt. Shasta Forest on his 2 1/2 acres of land in a home he built in 1972.
What is possible regarding health and longevity is beyond the imagination of most people on earth.
