So in today's show, I've been receiving a number of questions on the relationship of fasting, and improving your eyesight. So fasting is something that people do, primarily as a way to lose weight, that's usually the primary goal. But one of the aspects of fasting that I really like, is how it can show you your eating habits. And when you start a fasting process, you're eating fewer calories, and this will definitely help you lose weight. But it also has a very positive effect on many of your internal glands and organs, and specifically, the liver. And in studying Chinese medicine, I realized very early that if you have a healthy liver, you're going to have better eyesight, less floaters, less deterioration in your eyesight when you go to the eye doctor. So they're not going to keep increasing your prescription every year, reducing the risk of other eye conditions like cataracts, and glaucoma, or macular degeneration. So, fasting is definitely a procedure that has gained popular popularity, because it's a way that you can take more responsibility for your health and wellness, without using pharmaceutical drugs, and or surgery. So I'm gonna do a 02:03 caveat here, which is that a before before you do any kind of fasting process, I want you to go to your doctor, and make sure that he or she gives you the go ahead to do the fasting. So this particular information that I'm sharing is for educational purposes only. And it's not a substitute for your medical care. In fact, certain people shouldn't be fasting, you know, if you're pregnant, if you have diabetes, or high blood pressure, or neurological conditions, or you're just on medications, so you want to make sure that your doctor gives you the clearance. But I'm going to give you a couple of common ways that you can enter the process. And these are just examples. There are many ways to the top of the mountain, that's a saying I use in terms of different procedures and processes. So let's look at four ways that you could fast. The first is time restricted, which means that you eat for a limited number of hours and you fast for the rest of the day. And a common window of eating is between six and eight hours, probably the best known as 16 eight, where you eat for eight hours, and you fast for 16 hours. And this is a pretty safe process in entering the fasting procedure. So that would be the first option. The second option is called the alternate day plan. And as it says, You eat every other day because this means different days, week to week, you are fasting so like one option would be to follow it Monday through Saturday and take a break on Sunday. So the alternate day fasting would be number two. Number three is called the five colon two.
