There’s a lot of enthusiasm for intermittent fasting — a term that can encompass everything from skipping a meal each day to fasting a few days a week.

How to Achieve Superior Detoxification and Health Benefits With Near-Infrared Light
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- The typical infrared sauna sold in the U.S. is far-infrared. These low-energy wavelengths provide virtually no photobiomodulation health benefits; they only heat your body superficially
- The near-infrared wavelengths can penetrate up to 4 inches into your body’s tissues. The incandescent light bulb is the most efficient way to heat tissue because it is mostly near-infrared
- Only a few percent of solar radiation are far-infrared. About 40 percent of the sunlight spectrum is near-infrared
- Sunlight and incandescent light interacts with light receptor proteins called chromophores in your body. When light hits the chromophores, they activate a variety of biological processes. Near-infrared also activates the mitochondrial chelating systems in the cells
- Near-infrared light therapy stimulates your mitochondria to release nitric oxide and boost ATP production which, together, promote healing effects such as DNA repair and cellular regeneration.

To further support detoxification during your fast, I recommend using a near-infrared sauna, which will help eliminate toxins through your sweat. An entire chapter of KetoFast is dedicated to the use of sauna, with specific do’s and don’ts.
For more details on the science of near-infrared saunas, see “How to Achieve Superior Detoxification and Health Benefits With Near-Infrared Light,” which features my interview with Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace. A near-infrared sauna with low electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can cost several thousand dollars. However, you can make one inexpensively yourself.
Aside from the fact that near-infrared bulbs heat you up more effectively than far-infrared saunas do, near-infrared light (660 and 850 nanometers) also stimulates nitric oxide release and ATP production. I do a 30-minute sauna just about every day that I’m home, followed by cryotherapy (cold thermogenesis) — essentially, I just jump directly into my unheated pool. An alternative would simply to rinse off in a cold shower. If you’re brave, you could do an ice bath.
Supporting Your Fasting Protocol With Sauna Bathing
Jejum É Muito Melhor Do Que Comer A Cada 3h, Diz Nobel Em Medicina
Parece que o jogo virou. Especialistas do mundo inteiro estão indo na contramão da crença popular de que comer de 3 em 3 horas é a melhor forma de se alimentar. O jejum quando acompanhado por um profissional, está ganhando destaque entre as dietas saudáveis, inclusive até a Bela Gil aprova.
Fasting diets are going mainstream — ahead of the science. Here’s why.
Some people lose weight fasting but many others can’t stick to it.
When John Kane was approaching 50, he noticed his weight had crept up to 275 pounds. At 6-foot-2 and medically obese, he turned to the gym to slim down, doing an aerobic workout five days per week.
Can fasting help fight cancer?
USC Researchers Discover How to Regenerate Your Entire Immune System In Only 72 Hours
It’s often used as a quick weight loss method – but fasting could also help the body to fight off disease.
Molecule produced during fasting has anti-aging effect on vascular system
Diet trends like intermittent fasting and ketogenesis are proving wildly popular for their rapid weight-loss effects, but scientists are also starting to uncover how they might benefit the body in other, longer term ways. Case in point: a molecule produced during fasting has now been found to apply the brakes to aging of the vascular system, a process closely tied to the aging of the human body as a whole.
