Fasting dates back centuries and has played a central role in many different cultures and religions. Science has now revealed the many benefits of fasting – including improved weight loss and insulin sensitivity, reduced levels of inflammation and risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, improved cellular health and mental clarity, a reduced risk of neurodegenerative disorders, all the way through to slower ageing and increased longevity (just to name a few!). But did you know that the practice of fasting can also be highly beneficial for dogs?
In this episode I discuss the many benefits of fasting for both people and pets and outline simple strategies that you can use to get started. But fasting isn’t for everyone, so I also highlight who shouldn’t fast and when fasting your dog may not be a good idea.
