8. Fasting And Your Immune System

When an animal gets sick, they don’t worry about their next meal. Instead, they rest and stop eating until they feel better. Doing this can lower the amounts of stress on the body so that they can fight off potential infections. Humans are the only species on Earth who eat even when they are seriously ill. Take a cue from the animal kingdom. Try fasting the nest time you get sick.
