Many major diseases that plague us—including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's—have been linked to chronic inflammation." "...one of the best ways to quell inflammation lies not in the

I saw a port in FB by https://www.facebook.com/victoria.mohren?hc_ref=ARSIqUQtCz4-eqd9nvMUf3oYOMMm9EHf28WDpwM6aEHYwnVmGiwuj12vtPIE41QHJnM&fref=nf It is a short report but a little bit technical and I haven't understood it completely. But I was impressed with this simple definition. " Fasting is withholding food &/or nutriments from the organism when it does not require any.
