Charcoal is very good at eliminating gas, bloating and nipping problems of food poisoning in the bud.

Fasting is deeply rooted in our religious and traditional customs. It turns out that there is some truth to the health benefits of fasting. Intermittent fasting also called IF is employed by athletes, doctors and wellness enthusiasts where they eat for a 8 hour feeding window and starve for 16 hours. Done regularly and correctly, this method can help lose unwanted pounds, promote better health, boost brain function and help with auto-immune issues. Fasting regularly gives your digestive system a break and allows your body to heal and recover. However, diabetics, heart patients and others suffering from chronic ailments should speak to physicians for clearance before
attempting this.

These are often too pretty to eat and are normally eaten at breakfast and are meals by themselves.
