Fasting and Its Benefits // Episode 149
Manage episode 358018385 series 2478568
Is fasting good for us more than just spiritually? Is that even a question, and is Joseph just a gnostic at heart?
Crystal has been reading a book about the health benefits of fasting, which prompted today's episode.
We reference the book Eat, Fast, Feast by Jay Richards: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/eat-fast-feast-jay-w-richards?variant=32207678439458
As an aside, we also referenced Gary Paulsen's classic YA novel, Hatchet, as the main character loses all body fat throughout his adventure: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hatchet/Gary-Paulsen/9781481486293
And Joseph wanted to bring up a story by Franz Kafka, called "A Hunger Artist", but we ran out of time and maybe it wasn't at all relevant in the first place...: https://www.kafka-online.info/a-hunger-artist.html
