A member asked:

I was thinking of fasting 1x/wk for heart health. is it enough for a benefit? i'm in good health and will drink water. any addtl advice appreciated.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No. : Not sure if fasting once a week will help but I am aware that fasting is advice by some christians and is mention at the bible. I will advice good diet, exercise using anaerobic and aerobic exercises, keep your weight down, control stress, have a good outlook in life, enjoy your work, enjoy life and do good to others. :).
