A diagnostic fast refers to prolonged fasting from 1 to 100 hours (depending on age) conducted under observation to facilitate the investigation of a health complication, usually hypoglycemia. Many people may also fast as part of a medical procedure or a check-up, such as preceding a colonoscopy or surgery, or before certain medical tests. Intermittent fasting is a technique sometimes used for weight loss that incorporates regular fasting into a person's dietary schedule. Fasting may also be part of a religious ritual, often associated with specific scheduled fast days, as determined by the religion, or by applied as a public demonstration for a given cause in a practice known as a hunger strike.
Alternate-day fasting (alternating between a 24-hour "fast day" when the person eats less than 25% of usual energy needs, followed by a 24-hour non-fasting "feast day" period) has been shown to improve cardiovascular and metabolic biomarkers similarly to a calorie restriction diet in people who are overweight, obese or have metabolic syndrome.[2][3][4][5]
A 2021 review found that moderate alternate-day fasting for two to six months was associated with reductions of body weight, body mass index, and cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight or obese adults.[6]
Fasting is almost always practiced prior to surgery or other procedures that require general anesthesia because of the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents after induction of anesthesia (i.e., vomiting and inhaling the vomit, causing life-threatening aspiration pneumonia).[7][8][9] Additionally, certain medical tests, such as cholesterol testing (lipid panel) or certain blood glucose measurements require fasting for several hours so that a baseline can be established.
Fasting is often used to make a political statement, to protest, or to bring awareness to a cause. A hunger strike is a method of non-violent resistance in which participants fast as an act of political protest, or to provoke feelings of guilt, or to achieve a goal such as a policy change. A spiritual fast incorporates personal spiritual beliefs with the desire to express personal principles, sometimes in the context of social injustice.[20]
In Northern Ireland in 1981, a prisoner, Bobby Sands, was part of the 1981 Irish hunger strike, protesting for better rights in prison.[22] Sands had just been elected to the British Parliament and died after 66 days of not eating. 100,000 people attended his funeral, and the strike ended only after nine other men died. In all, ten men survived without food for 46 to 73 days.
The American civil rights activist Csar Chvez undertook several spiritual fasts, including a 25-day fast in 1968 promoting the principle of nonviolence and a fast of 'thanksgiving and hope' to prepare for pre-arranged civil disobedience by farm workers.[20][23] Chvez regarded a spiritual fast as "a personal spiritual transformation".[24] Other progressive campaigns have adopted the tactic.[25]
Yom Kippur, Tisha B'av, Fast of Esther, Tzom Gedalia, the Seventeenth of Tamuz, the Tenth of Tevet, and Fast of the Firstborn are examples of fasting in Judaism.[26] Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av are 25 hour fasts in which observers abstain from consuming any food or liquid from sunset until nightfall the next day and include other restrictions. The fasts of Esther, Gedalia, Tamuz, and Tevet all last from dawn until nightfall and therefore length varies depending on the time of the year. The Fast of the Firstborn is not biblically mandated and can therefore be ended early in the case of a seudat mitzvah.
Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan each year. The fast includes refraining from consuming any food or liquid from dawn until sunset. It is a religious obligation for all Muslims unless they are children or are physically unable to fast.
Lent is a common period of fasting in Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christians fast during specified fasting seasons of the year, which include not only the better-known Great Lent, but also fasts on every Wednesday and Friday (except on special holidays), together with extended fasting periods before Christmas (the Nativity Fast), after Easter (the Apostles Fast) and in early August (the Dormition Fast).
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) generally abstain from food and drink for two consecutive meals in a 24-hour period on the first Sunday of each month and use the money they save for charity.[27]
Although practitioners of alternative medicine promote "cleansing the body" through fasting,[17] the concept of "detoxification is marketing myth with few scientific basis for its rationale or efficacy.[29][30]
During the early 20th century, fasting was promoted by alternative health writers such as Hereward Carrington, Edward H. Dewey, Bernarr Macfadden, Frank McCoy, Edward Earle Purinton, Upton Sinclair and Wallace Wattles.[31] All of these writers were either involved in the natural hygiene or new thought movement.[31] Arnold Ehret's pseudoscientific Mucusless Diet Healing System espoused fasting.[32]
In 1911, Upton Sinclair authored The Fasting Cure, which made sensational claims of fasting curing practically all diseases, including cancer, syphilis, and tuberculosis.[35][36] Sinclair has been described as "the most credulous of faddists" and his book is considered an example of quackery.[36][37] In 1932, physician Morris Fishbein listed fasting as a fad diet and commented that "prolonged fasting is never necessary and invariably does harm".[38]
As the team is heading to the Musical Gas Station, they are going to fill Rocket with music gas from the New Dashboard. And once the music gas is now filled from the new dashboard, they call it Super Fast dashboard, because they are now ready to prepare to fly Rocket at any speed we want! First, you must fly Adagio, of patting the beat on your lap slowly. Second, you can also fly Moderato, of patting the beat on your tummy a little faster for normal speed. Third, you can also fly Allegro, of patting the beat on your shoulders even faster to fly classic fast. And finally, the last speed to fly is Presto! Which means Super Fast!! All they have to do is to reach their arms to the sky and shake their whole bodies! But, they will use it later at the right time for emergencies, for being late and for defeating Big Jet and his speed as a battle.
As the team are now at the Rocket Room, they see their friends the three little piggies on their planes. Unfortunately, when the machines on three planes got broken and out of control. The first plane is stuck on adagio. The second plane is stuck on moderato. And the third plane is stuck on allegro! In order to save them, first: You must find the first little piggy from Machu Picchu in Peru and start to fly from adagio to moderato. Second: When entering the Chinese Paper Cut art in China, you have to follow a panda in moderato speed as you can now go allegro to catch the second little piggy. Third: The third little piggy is in Outer Space, so Rocket is going to break the gravity and prepare to fly presto to catch the third little piggy from Crab Nebula and the true story is complete!!
The episode starts with the Little Einsteins going to The Musical Gas Station when Rocket is going to fill up the music gas. Rocket chooses the music gas on the left that has the notes of William Tell Overture. So the team is going to say "Fill her up, Rocket!" and Rocket fills the music gas to his gas tank of the speedy meter. So for now, let's practice of 4 different tempos! First, they have to fly nice and slow called adagio of patting the beat on their lap slowly and Rocket starts to fly slow. Then, they can also have to fly normally called moderato of patting the beat on their tummies and Rocket starts to fly in normal speed. Next, they can also have to fly even faster called allegro of patting the beat on their shoulders and Rocket starts to fly even faster! June tells Leo that there's one more button and Annie wonders what it is the last speed of the speedy meter. The answer of Leo says that the last speed is presto! Super Fast!! The final move of that is to reach their arms to the sky and shake their whole bodies! Annie wishes to fly presto, but Leo tells her that they will use it later at the right time for emergencies, for being late and for defeating Big Jet and his speed as a battle.
Once they're back at Rocket's garage, they all head out of pocket and saw the three little piggies in their planes. The first little piggy is flying a blue airplane. The second little piggy is flying a green airplane. And the third little piggy is flying a yellow airplane. Annie waved to the three little piggies. Unfortunately, the first little piggy on the blue plane is flying adagio, the second little piggy on the green plane is flying moderato, and the third little piggy on the yellow plane is flying allegro. The three little piggies are flying out of control and flying into different directions. So Leo put out his baton and told everyone that they've got a mission about saving the three little piggies. So they all head inside Rocket, buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence and blast off.
After they blast off, Annie sings about saving three little piggies in the sky. Then, Rocket put out his display screen and show that the first little piggy flew to Machu Picchu in Peru. Then, Rocket heads over to Machu Picchu in Peru and soon, they arrived at Machu Picchu in Peru. Once they arrived at the maze, they don't know which way did the first little piggy went because there are two ways to go. So Quincy told to listen to the first little piggy and put out his cor anglais (That's English Horn in French language) and play the first little piggy song. So they listen to the path on the right, but the path isn't the path that the first little piggy went. So they listen to the path on the left and it is the path that the first little piggy went. So Leo retracts the steering handle and puts out the speedy meter and go adagio by patting the beat on the lap slowly to help Rocket to go slow. Soon, they heard the first little piggy who is flying around the Peru mountain and getting dizzy. Then, Leo told that faster than adagio, moderato, which pats the tummy a little faster and Rocket flies moderato to save the first little piggy and uses his net to catch the first little piggy. Then, Rocket caught the first little piggy and used his back up seat for the piggy to sit. Then, Rocket puts out his look and listen scope and his display screen and show that the second little piggy flew all the way to China. So Rocket left Peru and flew all the way to in China.
