The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting

bySteve Hendricks

A journalist delves into the history, science, and practice of fasting, an ancient cure enjoying a dynamic resurgence. The argument in The Oldest Cure in the World develops through scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the adventures in the art and science of fasting to larger questions in health & fitness and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
