I grew up seeing my grandfather doing certian thing which was wired to me just to understand what exactly was the concept of Fasting everyday he used to eat after the sun rise and before the sun set if he missed his meal at that time he never had his meal until the next meal time, we mocked at him tat time, now he is 94 and still as healthy as ever, and my dad not even looks as health as him and then i got cuirus on how did he do that he said it was all in his schedule and then I researched about this in the internet and foud the proven fact of the fasting technique and it was a part of Naturopathy Treatment. So I have taken a initiative that if this small practice can help my grandfather to stay fit these long years if i take up the course I will learn the much. I really want everyone to please encourage such practice and start following this and help ourself to focus on how to make our life systamic. I recommend this course to all
