Wesley Fofana

Unbelievable that he can manage to play in a game at that level without food or fluids over the last 15 hours!

I remember seeing a tv programme  on the police and they covered this  Muslim policeman during Ramadan. Struggled when he was chasing a criminal due to the lack of energy in his body.

Credit to him though for sticking to his beliefs. Seemed a nice man and was a credit to the force.

I thought they were allowed to drink water? Anyway, it's a load of nonsense as is all religion.

The notion that you need fuel to be able to function is nonsense. The human body actually becomes more attuned and sharp when it hasn't had food for a while. It's how we survived as a species. Before shops, when we were hunter gatherers, if there was nothing to eat for a period of time, we needed to have the energy to go out and find some, otherwise we would have perished. Tracking an animal for miles on an empty stomach was quite common and successful hunts were the exception, rather than the norm.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that we actually perform better physically and mentally in a fasting state and many people are now challenging the notion that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Of course, we have to eat eventually and we also need to drink water, but going without food during daylight hours is easily done. Intermittent fasting, I believe, is beneficial, and something I have practiced myself.

Interesting post Ginny.

I read something similar in Bill Clinton's autobiography. A doctor told him that as we get older we should eat less due to the energy combustion process that wears down our body. This apparently helps life expectancy.  Iam not sure how true this is though. Personally I think balance is key. Eat right, drink plenty of water and exercise and try to be calm in mind and body as stress can be a killer. Easier said than done sometimes I know.

Got any tips because I can't go more than two hours without some pringles or a rocky robin.

Willpower at first, then it soon becomes the norm.

The science says that if the body is not busy digesting food, it goes into repair and regeneration mode, killing dead cells and replacing them with new ones.

Yeah right. You do realise that this is the Grimsby Town message board 😉😰😣😖😓😥😫😩.

Quoted from Heisenberg

I will never understand why people have ‘religious beliefs’ in the 21st century. I’ll not elaborate TOO much on this as incredibly I still seem to be in the minority compared to society overall, but I actually have faith in my Grimsby brethren and believe I’m in the majority around these parts. But if I’m not, so be it, no drama.

Are you sure about that, Heisenberg?
