Less Is More

Fasted yesterday. Just a one day fast. Enjoyed it immensely. Fasting makes you feel light.

Other benefits include, stops snoring, light sleep, feel cool, feel cold. You enjoy food immensely. Flavours become intense. Everything tastes wonderful. You appreciate food, and look forward to meals. You only sleep a few hours, and sleep lightly.

Fasting empties the body’s alimentary tract and allows the body to re-tune its system.

After the fast…

I ate corn chips and chocolate.

What a feast. What a treat.

Corn chips make you sleep heavy. Oil in the chips is heavy going. High salt content causes cacti to grow on your tongue. You’ll wake feeling like you’ve been beaten with a wet towel through night.

Chocolate makes you drowsy and heavy. Its all the fat (and sugar). Chocolate makes you snore.

Its the sugar you see.

Same as taking alcohol. Sugar in alcohol causes snoring.

Now you know.

So now you got a cure for snoring, go do it.
