The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting [9781419748486]

Overview

Called “an illuminating exploration of the rich and varied history—and myriad health benefits—of fasting" by the Wall Street Journal, this book explores how intermittent fasting can set in motion cellular repairs that slow aging and prevent and even reverse diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

Journalist Steve Hendricks delves into the rich history and cutting-edge science behind fasting, an age-old remedy experiencing a dynamic resurgence. He takes readers on an enlightening tour from the earliest days of humanity through the Greek fathers of medicine, Christianity’s “fasting saints,” and a 19th-century doctor’s 40-day fast on a New York City stage

Threaded throughout are Hendricks’s own adventures in fasting, including stays at luxurious and spartan fasting clinics.

A playful, insightful, and persuasive exploration of when we should—and should not—feed our bodies, The Oldest Cure in the World is an entertaining read and an inspiration for those considering fasting as part of a healthy diet.
