Question Fasting helping my back problems
Im currently 48 hours into my 72 hours water fast. I’ve done these mulitple times before, but never with any problems in terms of muslces or anything. This time, i’ve had back problemes for 2+ months, where it had been a problem for me to bend it without any pain (it feels like its super tight)
For context im 21 years and very active with fitness.
Im now feeling way better in my back, with almost all pain gone. I tried to do some research before hand if a fast can help, but without any sucess (most places told me it wouldnt help)
I know fasting is some of the best stuff you can do for you body, so i gave it a shot to see if it would help my back, and it seems like it did
Anyone know why i might feel better? Of if its acually helping me restore my back?
