Increasingly, scientists are warming to the intermittent fast, which can be as brief as one skipped meal once or twice a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The benefits of fasting seem to extend far beyond managing weight. A recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/111/47/16647.abstract\">paper\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u003c/em>makes a cautious but encouraging case for how regularly\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>cutting way back on calories for a short period of time may be good for your health (and that we need to study it more).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lead author is \u003ca href=\"http://www.irp.nia.nih.gov/branches/irp/mmattson.htm\">Mark Mattson\u003c/a>, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins University. As he and his co-authors write, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/07/29/205845319/two-day-diets-how-mini-fasts-can-help-maximize-weight-loss\">mini-fasts\u003c/a> — consuming just 500 to 600 calories two days a week — or skipping breakfast and/or lunch several days a week could boost the immune system, sharpen the mind and fight off disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that the scientific evidence on this is still quite limited. Scientists still don't know which diets that alter meal frequency or sharply restrict calories will work best for which people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the findings from the handful of human and animal studies exploring \"intermittent energy restriction\" seem to support one fundamental idea: that exposing our cells to this \"mild stress results in adaptive changes that protect against more severe stress,\" according to Mattson's paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This makes sense, since humans (and other animals) have fasted intermittently for much of our time on Earth. As the paper notes, \"The most common eating pattern in modern societies, three meals plus snacks every day, is abnormal from an evolutionary perspective.\" Thousands of years ago, we began fasting to express religious devotion, and to this day all of the world's major religions \u003ca href=\"http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/2001/02/Fasting-Chart.aspx\">encourage it\u003c/a> at least once a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fasting may seem extremely daunting if you've never attempted it. The healthy among us have enough fat stored to survive, on average, for about 40 days without eating (don't try this one at home). But we get all kinds of signals from our bodies and the environment to eat at least twice a day. And it's those biochemical and psychological messages that we have to override if we're going to disrupt that cycle of habitual eating, however briefly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the spring, when I did the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/07/10/327854051/alcohol-test-does-eating-yeast-keep-you-from-getting-drunk\">yeast-beer experiment\u003c/a> with two colleagues, I fasted on four Sundays – skipping both lunch and dinner – so that I could \"test\" the effects of alcohol when combined with yeast and yogurt on an empty stomach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I'd had moments of weakness when I doubted the endeavor and was seriously tempted to grab a snack, in hindsight, I found that I actually enjoyed forgoing food for most of a day. I felt liberated, lighter, clearer of mind. And I really appreciated food when I finally was \"allowed\" to eat again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, I've been pondering the secrets to successful fasting, since a fast might be exactly what I'll want to do this month and next to counter holiday gluttony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first question: How long, and how, to do it? Well, turns out that the answer depends on your objective. If you're shooting high for big perks – anti-aging, immune system regeneration and disease fighting – a mini-fast may not cut it, according to \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/longo/\">Valter Longo\u003c/a>, a gerentologist at the University of Southern California who studies the health benefits of fasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longo argues that four to five days is the minimum amount of time you have to go with little to no food to see real changes and improvements in the immune system, for one. Anything less than that isn't a true fast, he tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since that's impractical (and potentially unsafe without the supervision of a doctor) to do regularly, Longo recommends skipping lunch instead. \"I think skipping a meal – lunch or dinner — is probably the best thing that everybody can do.

Increasingly, scientists are warming to the intermittent fast, which can be as brief as one skipped meal once or twice a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The benefits of fasting seem to extend far beyond managing weight. A recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/111/47/16647.abstract\">paper\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u003c/em>makes a cautious but encouraging case for how regularly\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>cutting way back on calories for a short period of time may be good for your health (and that we need to study it more).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lead author is \u003ca href=\"http://www.irp.nia.nih.gov/branches/irp/mmattson.htm\">Mark Mattson\u003c/a>, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins University. As he and his co-authors write, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/07/29/205845319/two-day-diets-how-mini-fasts-can-help-maximize-weight-loss\">mini-fasts\u003c/a> — consuming just 500 to 600 calories two days a week — or skipping breakfast and/or lunch several days a week could boost the immune system, sharpen the mind and fight off disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that the scientific evidence on this is still quite limited. Scientists still don't know which diets that alter meal frequency or sharply restrict calories will work best for which people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the findings from the handful of human and animal studies exploring \"intermittent energy restriction\" seem to support one fundamental idea: that exposing our cells to this \"mild stress results in adaptive changes that protect against more severe stress,\" according to Mattson's paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This makes sense, since humans (and other animals) have fasted intermittently for much of our time on Earth. As the paper notes, \"The most common eating pattern in modern societies, three meals plus snacks every day, is abnormal from an evolutionary perspective.\" Thousands of years ago, we began fasting to express religious devotion, and to this day all of the world's major religions \u003ca href=\"http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/2001/02/Fasting-Chart.aspx\">encourage it\u003c/a> at least once a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fasting may seem extremely daunting if you've never attempted it. The healthy among us have enough fat stored to survive, on average, for about 40 days without eating (don't try this one at home). But we get all kinds of signals from our bodies and the environment to eat at least twice a day. And it's those biochemical and psychological messages that we have to override if we're going to disrupt that cycle of habitual eating, however briefly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the spring, when I did the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/07/10/327854051/alcohol-test-does-eating-yeast-keep-you-from-getting-drunk\">yeast-beer experiment\u003c/a> with two colleagues, I fasted on four Sundays – skipping both lunch and dinner – so that I could \"test\" the effects of alcohol when combined with yeast and yogurt on an empty stomach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I'd had moments of weakness when I doubted the endeavor and was seriously tempted to grab a snack, in hindsight, I found that I actually enjoyed forgoing food for most of a day. I felt liberated, lighter, clearer of mind. And I really appreciated food when I finally was \"allowed\" to eat again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, I've been pondering the secrets to successful fasting, since a fast might be exactly what I'll want to do this month and next to counter holiday gluttony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first question: How long, and how, to do it? Well, turns out that the answer depends on your objective. If you're shooting high for big perks – anti-aging, immune system regeneration and disease fighting – a mini-fast may not cut it, according to \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/longo/\">Valter Longo\u003c/a>, a gerentologist at the University of Southern California who studies the health benefits of fasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longo argues that four to five days is the minimum amount of time you have to go with little to no food to see real changes and improvements in the immune system, for one. Anything less than that isn't a true fast, he tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since that's impractical (and potentially unsafe without the supervision of a doctor) to do regularly, Longo recommends skipping lunch instead. \"I think skipping a meal – lunch or dinner — is probably the best thing that everybody can do. I skip lunch because I love dinner, and I want to be able to have pasta,\" says the researcher, who's from Italy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holding out for a big bowl of tagliatelle may be enough to keep Longo away from the cafeteria at noon, but some of us may need another strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One approach is the 5-2 diet, which involves eating a low-calorie (around 500 calories) diet of lean protein and very few carbs twice a week.

Traditional cultures around the globe use spring and summer as a time to shed excess weight and eliminate toxins that have built up during the winter. This can happen naturally as hearty stews are exchanged for fresh salads and cozy days on the couch are replaced with outdoors activities. But this cleansing process can also be gently encouraged with food choices. By selecting foods that support the liver and kidneys, the primary detox organs, cleansing becomes part of a balanced and tasty diet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people use extreme diets like fasting and juice cleanses. But these aren’t necessary for most people and may be dangerous without medical supervision. Take juice fasting as an example. The goal in this popular regime is to consume concentrated vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetable juices and to supply the body with enough sugar to function without having to digest food. But the problem with consuming only juice for any extended length of time is that it lacks protein. All of the liver detox pathways require protein to function properly. In addition, fiber is necessary in order to adequately eliminate toxins from the gut. Liquid diets that eliminate fiber and protein may cause a lot of negative symptoms because toxins cannot be fully processed and excreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is a list of five foods that support the body while cleansing. Most of these foods have a direct benefit on the liver; chemicals need to be processed by the liver in order to be eliminated from the body. It is a huge job and it leaves the liver vulnerable to injury from numerous toxic substances. The good news is that there are many foods that protect the liver from harm. It is not necessary to consume these foods in excess to receive benefit. Normal consumption as part of a healthy diet is all that is needed.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garlic\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The health benefits of garlic have been known for centuries and modern scientific studies support many of the traditional uses. Not only does garlic make food taste great is has the power to reduce fatty liver disease and improve the production of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23606129\">detox enzymes\u003c/a>. In fact it is so protective to the liver that it can block the development of liver cancer even after exposure to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596709/\">cancer causing chemicals\u003c/a>. The protective affects of garlic aren’t limited to the liver. It is such a potent antioxidant that it also protects the kidneys from the toxic effects of many \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23626881\">drugs\u003c/a>. Fortunately for people who are sensitive to the heat of raw garlic, most of its beneficial properties are also present in the cooked root.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic.

But few of them are as tasty as the artichoke. Often thought of as a delicacy, artichokes are powerful medicine.

Traditional cultures around the globe use spring and summer as a time to shed excess weight and eliminate toxins that have built up during the winter. This can happen naturally as hearty stews are exchanged for fresh salads and cozy days on the couch are replaced with outdoors activities. But this cleansing process can also be gently encouraged with food choices. By selecting foods that support the liver and kidneys, the primary detox organs, cleansing becomes part of a balanced and tasty diet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people use extreme diets like fasting and juice cleanses. But these aren’t necessary for most people and may be dangerous without medical supervision. Take juice fasting as an example. The goal in this popular regime is to consume concentrated vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetable juices and to supply the body with enough sugar to function without having to digest food. But the problem with consuming only juice for any extended length of time is that it lacks protein. All of the liver detox pathways require protein to function properly. In addition, fiber is necessary in order to adequately eliminate toxins from the gut. Liquid diets that eliminate fiber and protein may cause a lot of negative symptoms because toxins cannot be fully processed and excreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is a list of five foods that support the body while cleansing. Most of these foods have a direct benefit on the liver; chemicals need to be processed by the liver in order to be eliminated from the body. It is a huge job and it leaves the liver vulnerable to injury from numerous toxic substances. The good news is that there are many foods that protect the liver from harm. It is not necessary to consume these foods in excess to receive benefit. Normal consumption as part of a healthy diet is all that is needed.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garlic\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The health benefits of garlic have been known for centuries and modern scientific studies support many of the traditional uses. Not only does garlic make food taste great is has the power to reduce fatty liver disease and improve the production of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23606129\">detox enzymes\u003c/a>. In fact it is so protective to the liver that it can block the development of liver cancer even after exposure to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596709/\">cancer causing chemicals\u003c/a>. The protective affects of garlic aren’t limited to the liver. It is such a potent antioxidant that it also protects the kidneys from the toxic effects of many \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23626881\">drugs\u003c/a>. Fortunately for people who are sensitive to the heat of raw garlic, most of its beneficial properties are also present in the cooked root.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic.
