This is interesting. My wife didn’t fast but because she underwent an intestine examination last year, she ate very basic foods and expelled waste material from her body (we’re talking about multiple trips to the washroom). Your body cleansing reminds me of her experience.

Do you really not eat at all for three days? That’s wild

What’s a new habit you’ve trying to form?

It's a long-term habit but I find it very valuable. Once a year in January I do a three day fast. Have done so for nearly 20 years. It's difficult, but I find it a good time to reflect on being grateful for the basic things in my life, because there's nothing like being extremely hungry that will make you appreciate even a single meal. It's very cleansing to me and a good way to kind of reset and start my year.
