Thanks for the information.

Throughout my 40s I fasted x1 per week using a 3 to 1 mix of 3 parts water to 1 part organic apple juice and did an evening spiritual practice in a group setting. Once every 3 to 4 months or so I did a longer fast (with a broth of root crops x1 per day to keep an electrolyte balance) of 12 days.

The most noticeable effect was an increase of free time (no meal planning, prep, eating and clean-up), higher vibrational spiritual practices, increased energy and better sleep. Once a year with the longer fast I did an enema / colon cleanse. During the whole of my 40s and 50s I never got any flu or other aliments.
