Do you believe in fasting as a way to help detoxify?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: There are many people who receive good benefit from periods of regular fasting, and this has been well documented over the years. However, there are some people for whom fasting is not recommended for medical reasons. You would want to research this area and talk with you physician if there are any health concerns.
