the big one that got me thinking was this thread on cancer & fasting — linking to the many studies we have at this point, showing fasting helps chemotherapy work better, and speculating a week of fasting a year, day of fasting a week, etc. go a long way to a healthy body
i have no reason to disbelieve this, and lots of reasons to believe it. people from my culture have been doing this for centuries. something something resets the body? in time, scientists will discover the connection to lymphatic system and who knows else
they won’t discover the connections to inner seasonality and times of reflections, and how those strengthen will, chi, body-mind integration, spirit, other such things scientists don’t talk of https://t.co/6QoRzn3aGd
something about me grasps seasonality. mentally, i make awed note at how coincidental it is my metaphorical fall coincides with seasonal fall. another part of me is unconcerned, and accepts it like it accepts that when thrown water falls https://t.co/1vw3J81Jps
it would have overwhelmed me to consider fasting before, because 1. i had stuff to work out with food first 2. i did not have the sensitivity to evaluate how it’s going for myself https://t.co/Ld5ftzB3mR
my heretical take if you can't sense how healthier food makes you healthier, and are young, don't worry about it spend time with the pain you do have. find emotional sensitivity, worldly sensitivity. they will all loop back around and lead you to diet sensitivity when it's time
but now it’s the time. i can absorb more information about it, and slowly begin thinking about it, without overwhelm, so here i am https://t.co/zrk4Roxd5l
ah, here’s the thread https://t.co/h6XlhYcUNj
