Ofori Amponsah, the renowned Highlife musician, credits his youthful appearance at 50 to regular fasting. He fasts for 2-3 weeks annually, allowing his body to recover from toxins.
“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,” he shared on Daybreak Hitz.
Ofori Amponsah believes fasting rejuvenates the body and promotes longevity, saying, “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 also recommends delaying the first meal of the day until midday for those who struggle with extended fasting. Alongside fasting, Ofori Amponsah incorporates light training, like walking, and visits his farm to stay active.
