Fasting for Health: How Intermittent Fasting Revitalizes Body and Mind. Humans are born to fast intermittently. This is evident in the enormous health benefits of so-called "intermittent fasting." The heart and intestines are relieved, cancer cells are starved, inflammation is reduced, depression is alleviated, and the body's own cells are rejuvenated. It is also directly reflected in our weight. There is hardly a simpler and more effective way to become permanently slim—without counting calories, without the yo-yo effect, and even without exercise. In his book, the renowned physician and fasting expert Ruediger Dahlke describes the different types of intermittent fasting and their advantages. He shows how to practically and step-by-step approach intermittent fasting, how to integrate it into everyday life, what to consider depending on your life situation and fasting goal, and which fasting strategies are helpful in specific situations, such as when traveling or at work. Biography of Dr. Ruediger Dahlke, born in 1951, who studied medicine in Munich. He completed further training as a naturopathic physician, in psychotherapy, and in homeopathy.
