Fasting is a good way to revitalise the body. It's a long naturopathic tradition that has almost been forgotten. And cycling is a great addition.
Many people find it particularly difficult to motivate themselves in spring. Your belly may have put on a few pounds over the winter months, and with the change in temperature come mood swings and runny noses. You are tired and feel sluggish. It's not the latest crash diet from a magazine that can help, but an age-old recipe: fasting.
It's a spring clean for the body. Fasting is really good for you, keeps you healthy and fit. Fasting weeks are all the rage. Fasting on holiday is particularly popular - and cycling fans can rejoice, as there are numerous providers who specifically combine fasting with sport on two wheels.
