Highlife musician Ofori Amponsah has attributed his youthful appearance at age 50 to regular fasting.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the artiste said he fasts for about two to three weeks every year to allow his body to recover from toxic substances.
“Sometimes I fast for two weeks. Every year I fast. Sometimes I do it for 21 days, and then just cut back on food and everything. That’s all. And a bit of training; walking, I will go to my farm, see the chicken, everything and laugh,” he said.
He explained that fasting helps the body to rejuvenate and promotes longevity.
“It’s very important to fast if you want to live long. Some of the food we take in are toxic, so sometimes when you break the system for a while it gets rejuvenated,” he added.
Ofori Amponsah also advised those who may find it difficult to fast for long periods to consider delaying their first meal of the day until midday.
