Famous Fasters Archives

Who was the fittest man of the last century?

A great question and a difficult one to answer but someone who would have a strong claim is Sir Stanley Matthews – the oldest man to play for England and to play in the top flight of English football.

And guess what? He fasted every Monday! That’s where I got the original idea from.

Gandi on Fasting

Did you know? Gandi was a keen advocate of fasting…..

“Experience has taught me that it was wrong to have dwelt upon the relish of food. One should eat not in order to please the palate, but just to keep the body going. When each organ of sense subserves the body and, through the body, the soul, its special relish disappears, and then alone does it begin to function in the way Nature intended it to do.”  Mahatma Gandi
