Believe it or not fasting really wraps some benefit. In a new study that examined rats has popped out the conclusion that fasting was found beneficial in early recovery of spinal injury.
Actually, Ward Plunet and colleagues at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and created some lesions in the spinal cords of a group of rats and then those rats were divided into two groups. Rats of one group were given food every day while rats of the second group were provided with food only every other day. In the course of study these researchers found that the rats who were eating daily they recovered later than the rats fed only every other day. Researchers do have firm belief that curtailing calorie intake enhances may fasten recovery of spinal injury.
This is in fact, a good news that directly or indirectly also backs up the old tradition of fasting.
