Jeff Ross talks…
Hello, Jeff Ross Healthspan Pharmacist at Sydenham Pharmacy.
Took a call last night from a long-standing customer who is looking for information in specific areas of health but doesn’t necessarily relate to medicine. But do come in to ask here and she said “look I’ve tried everywhere to get this information, I’ve spoken to you in the past. You’ve been very helpful and this is my problem. Now she was looking for information on intermittent fasting. And this is something we’ve had quite a bit of experience with.
Intermittent Fasting – How to do it?
We just beginning to introduce juicing as part of the process. The purpose of the juicing is to provide the micronutrients that you probably miss out on a fasting diet. But the results we’ve seen through intermittent fasting are really quite impressive.
How does intermittent fasting work?
And there is a sound body of science behind it, which really points out why fasting has been such a path of human existence for millennia. And new eating plan. When I say new eating plan, instead of going to the garden for our vegetables as we use to when I was a child, we go to the supermarket. And we probably tend to be exposed to more products in cardboard boxes, labeled food than humans have ever had in the past. And would appear that this is creating quite a few health problems.
You know we look at the modern obesity epidemic and think how can we overcome that. And one way is shown to be able to lose weight if you are not a diabetic and if you don’t have other health complications is intermittent fasting. Now once you start this process it’s actually quite surprising how easy it is to fast and not suffer hunger. I was a hostage to my hunger for the best part of 40 years until I discovered it wasn’t hunger it was actually a reaction of my stomach to gluten. And once I eliminated that from my diet and got back to my natural hunger levels I now find I can go for 1 or 2 days and not eat a thing, not feel hungry, not have brain fog.
So if you are interested in finding a health professional who understands some of these issues and wants somebody to talk to about it. Come on and talk to us at Sydenham Pharmacy.
